My name is April. I am 26 years old and I live in Tennessee with my husband Ron, whom I met at art college in Ohio. We are proud/loving parents of 2 furry children otherwise known as cats.

I went to Columbus College of Art and Design 2000-2003 and was majoring in Illustration. I felt like God was calling me to become an art teacher so, I transferred to Tennessee Tech University were I finished my BFA in Art Education and recieved my Teaching Certification for K-12.

I am currently working as a Graphic Designer. I would prefer to be teaching art K-12 or running my own wedding invitation business. My wedding invitations are going to be my priority come the new year.

I am obsessed with anything that has to do with art. So if you are my swapper, I am not very picky. I love original creative things and supplies.

• Crafts that come in pre-made kits that don't allow for creativity. It's only okay if you are under the age of 6 and just learning hand eye coordination and the basics. • Skulls, Goth, Darkness • Cigarette Smoke and beer
