I think the poem I wrote in 4th grade said it all:

“I am a reptile lover who loves HoHo’s.”

I have evolved a bit since then, I’ve become an artist who loves feathers, a designer who loves shopping, a crafter who loves puppies. A fashionista who loves boots, a weaver who loves color, a baker who loves tea, and chocolate, and cupcakes, and pumpkin, and marshmallows, and Oreo’s. A thriftier who loves old cameras, an autumn birthday who loves crunchy leaves, and a sewer who loves squid… yeah.

I grew up in Wisconsin, went to college at Tennessee Tech, got a dog, met a guy, changed my major a few dozen times, got engaged, graduated, moved to Alabama, got married, and now work in a cupcake shop.

I spend the time I’m not at work weaving, designing clothes, fabric shopping, and taking as many pictures with as many different cameras as I can get my hands on.
