About Me

Artist creating altered art (fairies, angels, mermaids), faux cakes, jewelry.

Love vintage, antique, shabby chic, cottage style.

I do work full time & sell Avon on the side my art is my biggest hobby besides my boys.

I adore going to auctions & thrift stores for new treasures. I like glitter too!

I'm a Capricorn & do fit the profile.

I have a sweet tooth & love to bake.

I'm an animal lover & would have a zoo if I could.

I live with all boys & luv to be girly.

Favorite Crafts

Altered Art, Acrylic painting on canvas, Beading - jewelry, polymer clay sculpting, vintage ephemera. Love most any supply I can make something out of. Love to make 1/2 aprons adore cute fabric & seam binding, rick rack.

Favorite Colors / Flowers

Pink, Green, Brown, Yellow, Robin egg blue I really hate to choose just one!

Fav flower would be: Pansy I have a whole wall dedicated to pics of them. I do like old fashioned cabbage roses as well.

Favorite Music

Wide range I have CD's everything from Broadway, Classical, Punk, Country, Reggae, R&B, to Pop, 80's music. The only thing I don't care for is rap & loud screaming.

Favorite Books

Absolutely love books - own more than I'll probably ever read & can't stop myself from buying more. I love vintage children's books, old cookbooks.

Favorite Movies

(80's child that I'am) - Sixteen Candles, Under the Tuscan Sun, Sex & the City, Lord of the Rings, the Patriot, P.S. I Love You, Harry Potter, West Side Story, Rebel without A Cause, The Notebook, The Crow.

Collections

mmmmm Yes I admit I'm a collector of; vintage items be it linens, dishes, knick knacks, pictures, cabinet cards, old postcards/greeting cards, lace, buttons, jewelry, aprons, teacups. Bird nests, cupcake things, dolls. I've even been known to save rocks! If it strikes my fancy I keep it what can I say.

Kids & Pets

I'm the proud mom of 2 boys: Matt (15), Adam (11) we live in a non smoking house but do have pets: Guinea pig (Sqeakers), Leopard Gecko (Jacobi), Shih-Zu (Jack), Mini Schnauzer (Belle), Cat (Spike), Cat (Gizmo)

Favorite treats

Chocolate dark or milk, (imported is often best due to the fact it's not so waxy.) Not a big fan of white choc. I'm a tea, cappucino drinker, not into coffee much. Favorite combo is mint chocolate or choc & peanut butter. Not a fan of coconut or black licorice. I luv choc chip cookies. I'm the crazy girl that would rather eat the cookie than the icing in an oreo. Also like candles in baked food scents.
