When I work, I work in high tech as a director or manager Quality Assurance for software and hardware. I just finished a contract as a QA consultant to Digital Motorworks. So I'm looking for another job.

Right now I'm updating my craft room so that I can have even more fun with my crafting and actually find what I am looking for.

I have 2 dogs, a chihuahua and a cocker spaniel. I also have a cat. Oh, forgot to mention, I also have a husband and two children - ok make that three children, even though my husband is in his 50s.

Reggae and old fashioned rock and roll. Really all kinds of music except country and western. Ok, I do like Willie Nelson but that is probably because I live near him in Austin, TX.

You name it - I read it. I love reading a good novel with a great plot - not so much into romance novels though... I am currently reading the Twllilight series. One of my favorite fiction authors is Dean Koontz - he writes creepy stories that scare me.

I also like Patrick Lencioni for his management novels. He always has a good "corporate" story followed by ways to implement improvements in an organizaiton. The book Fish! is a great to read for those who need to bring some fun into the work place.

Paint, mosaic, ceramic, sewing, stamping, scrapbooking, everything...

I love art and yes, I am a crafter but prefer to be called an artist! Someday, I dream of leaving the computer field and owning my own art studio when I retire. I just finished work on a mosaic table. I also like to paint, sew, make glass beads, fused glass, ceramics, needle point, and make jewelry. Did I mention that I like crafts???

My website is still under design but hopefully I'll have some of my creations posted on it one day. www.bumblebeepath.com

I love aqua - the color of the ocean on a white sand beach. I also like reds, oranges, purples, browns. I'm not picky about colors and really like them all. However, I look sick in green or yellow.

I am a life time Girl Scout. I was a "first Class" scout as a girl, which is the equivalent to "eagle scout" in Boy Scouts and the same as the "gold award" in Girl Scouting today. I have been a leader, camp counselor and assistant service unit director. My daugher is now grown and stopped being a scout when she was in 8th grade, but I still love the organization. I also volunteer when ever I can for local charities. I like giving back to the community.

I have always wanted to own a store. I love working with people and meeting new people. I also love art, so I would really like to own an art studio where I could teach people how to make stuff.

Monster in a tin!
