Knitsicle

I am an elementary Art Teacher and I love my job.

I love to knit and have dyed some yarn with kool-aid.

I have a small collection of Back to the Future toys and a small collection of James Jarvis figures.

I am married to an art student (not one of mine, one at the University of North Texas) and we have a very funny three year old daughter named Annabelle.

My daughter's name is Annabelle and she turned three in July. Her favorite color is pink and she loves princess stuff. She also likes toy cars, stickers, and anything little. She likes Hello Kitty, Yo Gabba Gabba, Max and Ruby, Mickey Mouse, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Dora, Wonder Pets, My Little Pony, etc...and she loves to read (or rather, be read to). We share the same last name, and are at the same address.
