All About Me

I currently live in Katy, TX which is

a town not far from Houston.

I was born in NY, moved to NJ at about 16

and always wanted to be a Fashion Designer.

At 4 I was drawing girls and clothes, and at 6 I cut all my newborn baby brothers diapers to make

Barbie clothes, and sold them!

By the time I was 14, I was the oldest of 5 children.

But moving to a different state at 16 was really

hard and my dreams of living in the dorm at

either Pratt Institute or FIT were squashed by

out of state fees.  So like a bratty teenager, I

abandoned my wishes and choose a different field.

So I became an Imaging Tech, which used to be known

as an X ray tech.  I worked many years in Doctors offices and hospitals.

Recently I worked at a small hospital that did finally go bankrupt, but I saw so much sadness and death that I decided I needed a change.

During all this time I married, had 2 sons, and divorced.

  I remarried the love of my life Robert, about 16 years ago. Robert is very supportive of all my dabblings.
We have a little boy who is now 13. He has grown so much this last 
year, we just can't believe.  He loves basketball, and hopes
to be a NBA player one day.

But something was always missing and I dabbled

in different forms of art...painting, designing jewelry,

t shirt designing, personalized Christmas ornaments,

and I hit the jackpot on scrapbooking. I have such enjoyment from designing photo books that record my life.

I have enough paper to fill a 3000 square foot home, floor to ceiling!.

My Dad died May 30, 2019 and my depression was just
thru the roof.  All Summer I just got thru the days.  In August,
just as school was starting I found a new passion.  I began making flower
arrangement with tiny little flowers that I made with dies.
They are designed by a Susan Tierney Cockburn.  This started 
to help get my depression in check, and created lots
of layouts for Christmas gifts. But I love these little paper 
flowers and pretty much have been dedicated to learning all the flowers
and how to make them.

I taught classes at Michaels.  I really enjoy this

and love teaching other people,  When a woman

learns to do things on her own, she has such a sense

of accomplishment.

So in my quest to find "me" I went back to school several times. I became a Baby
Planner, became interested in Green Living.  Then to go along with Baby Planning, I thought
it would be an enhancement to be able to design Nursery's,
so jumped head into a 4 year degree in Interior Design!  I just finished
that and might be doing a little Designing on the side.  I did get my degree in all aspects of
Interior Design, not just for the baby.
