What do I say about myself?....

Let's see....

• I'm 38 years old, almost 39 (UGH, I'm almost 40?!).
• I spent 38 years + 9 months of my life in small towns in Northeastern Oregon.
• This Oregon Girl recently moved to Nampa, ID with my hubby & our brood...2 dogs, 2 cats & a rabbit.
• Art has been the one constant in my life. I think I came out of my mother's womb creating!
• I can't label myself as a "scrapper", "journaler", "photographer" because I am interested in it all. I think I have tried just about everything, drawing, painting, ceramics, beading/jewelry making, scrapbooking, photography, quilting, journaling, altered things, etc, etc. You name it, I've probably tried it.
• Right now my biggest passions are probably photography (casual, not frou frou expensive equipment type, nothing against that though), quilting & decorating (with a house 3 times bigger than our old one, I have a lot of space to figure out what to do with LOL). 
• I find inspiration in pretty much everything & that is probably the thing I love most about creativity. It changes how you see things & see the world. I can see a branch from a tree and think it would make a awesome coat rack hook. The gorgeous colors of a sunset, a beautiful quilt. That piece of metal mesh laying on the ground, a AWESOME texture on my next canvas or journal page. That old beat up door you are going to throw away, a PERFECT table! Etc, etc.

Anything else?....

I'm a breast cancer survivor (diagnosed @ 31).

I REALLY want to go to Italy (REALLY spend some time there getting to know the people & the country) before I die.

I could probably eat pizza every day of my life and be happy about it.

I love tattoos and appreciate them as a art form. 

OK, that's enough about me! Let's play!
