Introduction	I live with my husband and my very spoiled collie in Michigan. I enjoy scrapbooking because I feel like it is both a way to preserve memories and create art. I love being on the Dreamweaver Design Team because I can explore techniques using these exquisite stencils and work with a group of wonderful teammates. I previously enjoyed working on the sparkling teams of both Art Glitter and Connie Crystals. I have also served on the Globecraft Memories Design Team, and completely addicted to their 3D Enamel Gels. I appeared in the Dec/Jan 2011 edition of The Stampers Sampler, The 2011 Catch Up Issue. and the April 2011 Stamp & Scrap Arts.
Interests	Scrapbooking, Drawing, Colored Pencil, Painting, Ceramics, Stained Glass, Jewelry Making, Knitting, Cross Stitching, Quilting, Singing, and Reading.
Favorite movies	While You Were Sleeping, Star Wars (the original trilogy), Indiana Jones and the Ark of the Covenant, Mamma Mia, Harry Potter (all of them), and Les Miserables.
Favorite music	I love most music. I even like chorale music although I am not a big fan of rap.
Favorite books	I enjoy reading. I like most books by Tammi Hoag and Alice Hoffman. I love Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood for its sheer creepy factor. The Night Circus is a favorite for its magic and beautiful details. I also love the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling and The Olympians series by Rick Riordian.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

I suppose it is done when the alien leaves. Otherwise, I can talk for a very long time.
