Tell us a little about yourself: I'm an academic by day, and a mad crafter by night, weekends and any other time I can. It's all a wonderful balancing act with husband, son, dog, cat and fish thrown into the mix. I wouldn't have it any other way. If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? I’m happy with the ones I have now -- dog, cat and fish. I’d have more of them if I could.

I am a stay at home momma and recently during my free time (nap time) I have found a love of painting, for me and my friends and family..I kind of do a lil of this and a lil of that when it comes to art. I paint, draw, scrapbook, and crochet. I also love to do arts and crafts time with my son. He always looks at all the paintings I do and says, "Momma's painting"

Tell us a little about yourself. I love to spend as much time outdoors as possible walking, cycling, running, hiking, camping, beach walks, traveling etc. This allows me to pursue my interest in photography of landscapes and beautiful scenery to capture moments to share with others. If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? I have 2 adorable cats and someday would love a dog.
