Hello there, who am I? Well, I'm a mom of two beautiful grown daughters, one with a wonderful hubster, I'm a wife of a great guy, I'm grandmother to a beautiful baby boy named Sullivan. I have two awesome doggies, I live in the northern California Sierra foothills. (Soon moving to Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.)

I'm a bear artist. I design and make teddy bears. My business is called Swan Valley Bears. Nope, I don't live in Swan Valley. Swan Valley is in Montana and has the largest grizzly population in the lower 48.

You can check out my bears on my website at www.swanvalleybears.com

I also just started collecting dolls. So far, I have a 1/4 BJD girl, 2 Pullips and a Blythe. A Dal Drta and a 1/3 BJD girl are on my want list.

I like to read and cook and bake and take walks and kayak for exercise and I LOVE road trips.
