CentralCaliGrrrl

Hi, my real name is Yvonne.

I'm a happily married mother with one terrific kid. We have one rowdy dog and three fat cats, whom we love very much. I live on California's beautiful Central Coast.

I own a small rubber stamp manufacturing firm. We specialize in business stamps, like endorsement stamps, notary/engineering seals, daters, facsimiles, etc...but I also make custom craft stamps (mostly for myself!).

I've been making ATCs for about two years now and I'm totally hooked. I love everything about ATCs! I've even started a local ATC trading group, SLO Co. ATC Traders, and running it takes up the rest of my free time: organizing meetings, writing press releases, teaching workshops, etc.

I'm a huge movie buff! My favorite is Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I really enjoy comedies like Oscar, Scrooged, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest, Clueless and Home Alone (wow - am I stuck in the 90's or what?!).

I also like horror comedies like Tremors, The Lost Boys, Eight-Legged Freaks and Shaun of the Dead.

Musicals, mysteries/suspense and adventure films round out the rest of my collection.

I don't really like films that are loud, full of explosions or show lots of T & A.

I love going to concerts! My favorite band is the Grateful Dead, followed closely by Jack Johnson.

I like classic rock and jam bands.

I don't really watch much television, but when I do it's mostly comedies (I see a pattern here...) like Two and a Half Men, King of Queens, The Simpsons, Family Guy...

I also like Medium and the Ghost Whisperer.

Although I hardly ever have time for reading, I do enjoy it a lot. I don't have a favorite author, but I like mysteries and tales of nautical adventure.
