I'm an artist and art teacher (elementary). I love making ATCs (artist trading cards) and swapping them with others online and at live swaps. I work in a wide variety of mediums and love to try new materials and techniques. I have found needle felting wool to be one of my favorites and I make needle felted purses...even sold a few.

My husband and I are scuba divers anxiously awaiting our next underwater adventure. We do some local diving, but like the Caribbean best, of course (especially Bonaire). I enjoy underwater photography, but I'm not all that good at it yet.

We brought home a hyper vizsla pup, Penny, early in July of 2009. She's a great puppy and you'll see lots of pictures of her on here. Just try not to confuse her for Riley. Riley was our first vizsla and he was an amazing dog.
