ABOUT
I LOVE CHICAGO (EVEN IF YOU HEAR ME COMPLAIN THAT IT'S TOO HOT OR TOO COLD) - IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE WITH SO MANY COOL NEIGHBORHOODS & INTERESTING PEOPLE.
WHEN I'M NOT WORKING OR PAINTING, I'M HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND MY SWEET DOG KNOX.
WHAT STARTED AS A FUN WEEKEND OIL PAINTING CLASS MANY YEARS AGO TURNED INTO SO MUCH MORE... ❤️ AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THE WHIMSICAL DOG PAINTINGS INSPIRED BY MILLER GRACE BECAME A FAVORITE!
WRAPS!!! FINALLY, ONE OF MY PASSION PROJECTS IS COMING TO LIFE. INSPIRED BY AN OLD FRIEND WHO FEARLESSLY SUPPORTED ME THROUGH MY BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER, THEN WENT THROUGH IT HERSELF ONCE TOLD ME "ALL I CAN DO IS WRAP MYSELF IN POSITIVITY". THE THOUGHT OF PHYSICALLY WRAPPING SOMEONE IN LOVE & POSITIVITY NEEDED TO HAPPEN AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
JIMMY'S BIRDHOUSES HAS BEEN A FABULOUS DISTRACTION WHILE STUCK AT HOME DURING COVID...I LOVE THE WONKY LITTLE FENCE. THERE ARE A FEW AVAILABLE AND I'M BEGGING HIM TO MAKE MORE!
COMING SOON AND HOPEFULLY LISTING IT HERE WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE FORWARD...OUR PODCAST!!! WOMEN WHO LAUGH LIKE MEN: TRUE STORIES, BAD ADVICE & INAPPROPRIATE LAUGHTER. CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD IT HURTS. A SPLASH OF TRUTH IN A WORLD OF PERFECT PICS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
