I am a 32 year old Teacher and mother of 3. I have been married for 8 years to my high school sweetheart and have three beautiful kids with him. I have a 5 yr old on named Ian, 3 yr old daughter named Maren and a 10 month old named Nora. I have been the K-12 art teacher at Orient Macksburg school for the last 7 yrs
As far as education have my Fine Arts Degree from Iowa State University(2001) and Art Ed degree from UNI (2002). I have a new found obsession in the Artist trading cards. I have my 2 and 4 yr old making them as well as all of my classes in school. they are WONDERFUL. I have just started selling Tupperware for some extra $

I look forward to getting cards from all over the world and seeing what kinds of mediums they use.

I am a Whitney Houston Fan. My husband makes fun of me because of it, but I have loved her music since I was in 3rd grade.

I am a huge fan of the new Transformers:revenge of the fallen soundtrack

Greenday, Shinedown, CREED!!!! I am glad they are back together!

I love to watch House. back before my kids took all of my time up, I watched the CSI's and Law and Orders. ER was one I watched weekly until it ended last season. My off show is the Secret Life of the American Teenager.

I read the weird books. John Saul is my all time favorite author. Dean Koontz and Stephen King are ones that I have read in some of my free time. I miss my alone time to read.

I have a new found love for the ATC's. previous to that I loved to paint. I consider my self a painter. I like BIG paintings, so the ATC's are the opposite of what I usually do. Nupastels are an awesome product that I have mastered. they are a Chalk pastel that falls between Conte' and chalk pastel.

Favorite color: Olive Green Favorite food: Ice Cream Favorite animal: Hedgehogs Favorite medium: in big artwork, acrylic paint and nupastels. In ATC, so far it is SHARPIES.
