April

I still love the old 70"s music, classics like Neil Young, Beatles. I also like U2 and some of the new music Nelly Furtado, Melissa Eherridge, Chemical Parade,James Blunt.I also enjoy talk radio and books on tape, especially mysteries and spooky ghost stories.

I love mini-books, ATC, deco, Inchies, I love to alter anything and learning new messy techniques is the best.I also love making books from scratch and learning new ways to bind them. I love to teach children about art and just watch the natural artists blossom within.I love making new art friends, it seemed for so long I didn't have any, but now I have several. I teach classes at my LSS and i travel all over the Bay area to take casses from other artists.I belong to Fiskateers, which is where I started doing swaps and ATC World where I do several swaps a month. I was just invited to join a new group of artists on Yahoo:DecoDepo which is focused on Deco books and ATC swaps. I just completed my first Charm Swap, which was a really learning experience, but now I can't wait for the next one!!!

Love Dexter,House and Law and Order reruns. I guess it is fair to say I love crime and legal dramas. For fun I love old reruns of Seinfield, who doesn't?

Right now it is all about the ART books for me. The last several I have added have been about altered books and book binding.I also enjoy books on tape: Patterson, Koontz and Nicolas Sparks.

I am married with 3 children between the ages os 8-16! I have always loved art of most every kind. My background is in mental health and art. I have a MA in Marriage and Child Counseling with a minor in art. I teach at my LSS and plan to teach full-time once my children are a little older.I love to garden and take art classes. I love to work in the garden or at my craft table with my children!Life is good!
