*be sure to check out my Blog...I have a contest going on Right NOW!

Whoohoo...I am 33 years old and I love ART. All art, nothing is off limits! I am a mother and wife of two. (a 12 year old and a 4 year old) I am addicted to paper and Chai and I have a serious problem with glue sticks! Currently, I own an art gallery that offers art classes in Rocky River Ohio, just 15 minutes from downtown Cleveland! I love vintage items and the color pink. I love glass glitter, birds, nests, silk and velvet ribbon, gesso and crystal chandeliers. I love most everything shabby and all that is chic.

I listen to whatever is on the radio...anything. if I had to narrow it down a little more...anything pop...current music...the stuff the kids like. I don't much care for hip hop or rap, I just don't.

I watch the Young and the Restless...I tape it that is and watch it at night when the kids are in bed and I can skip thru the commercials. I also watch The Hills, Housewives of Orange county and Girls Next Door...yep, I can admit I watch junk...but it makes me laugh! I also watch different crafting shows and really loved the PBS series on Craft in America...you should check that out.

ALL...anything paper, sewing, whatever, I love it all! I mostly do collage work and everything involving paper. I am a jewelry designer and enamelist. I enjoy all things vintage and whimsical. I don't draw much, but I am an avid doodler. Which brings us to the next category...My favorite books. I will admit I don't read as many novels as I did when I was in college. My favorite book right now is, and I suspect will be for a long time is "Wreck This Journal" by Keri Smith." I am a HUGE fan of her work, and this book...my 12 year old loves it too!

I love pink, robins egg blue, turquoise, and apple green. I love polka dots and glass glitter. I like silver and gold- but not together. I love letterpress stationary and gocco printed items- pretty much anything handmade!

I don't like Kawaii or similar...not sure why, but I don't.
