About me

Gender Female
Location Laramie, Wyoming, United States
Introduction I live with three beloved kitties, Jake, Little Girl and Kitty. My home is my sanctuary - full of books, friends' artwork, and various “treasures” I have collected. My decorating style is shabby chic and quirky. I enjoy baking desserts, especially chocolate desserts! (I am a chocoholic.) I have run a large email list for 14 years - members of the list share potlucks and socializing. I am known as the Queen of the Potlickers. I have begun exploring my love of the creative process, having neglected that part of my life for many years. I am interested in drawing, mixed media and fabric art. I am a “newbie” to mixed media and fabric art and am re-learning to draw. Drawing relaxes me.

Favorite Movies I don't watch movies much but Babette's Feast and Men in Black have always been favorites.
Favorite Music I enjoy many bands that are not famous. Their music tends to be old timey; blues; world; alt country; cowboy; dance music - especially if a fiddle is involved!
