I adore color - bright, bold, beautiful color! I want it funky and bright, and just a bit off beat.

I thrive on art, whether it be visual journals, handmade books, altered books, collage, etc.

I devour books, almost all types, and read very quickly. Need I say that I have a plethora of art journalling books, and really, all sorts of art books.

I am married and have 3 adult children, one hyperactive Australian shepherd, and 2 very fat cats.

I enjoy flowers, dark chocolate, fresh summer fruit, and lattes. I also enjoy herbal teas.

Color is everywhere, including my dish towels, coffee cups, and the like.

I teach 6th grade math and social studies in a private catholic school.

I don't know how to make jewelry, but adore wearing it, especially if it's a bit off beat.

I have a new Canon slr camera and am currently learning how to use it, beyond point and shoot!
