I was born near Monterrey, California, and raised in San Jose, the heart of the Silicon Valley. My dad is a retired carpenter and my mom was a homemaker. We moved to my dad's hometown, Waco, Texas when he retired in 1978. One night in January 1981, while out at a club called 'The Fog' I picked up my husband Dave 
We've been married going on 23 years and have three sons. Two were born in Texas, one in Ohio.
People call me as an artist. I don't use that term myself. I'm a decorative painter, and craftsman. Craftsperson? Whatever True... I love my power tools & paintbrushes, but I'm equally infatuated with my sewing machine, camcorder, and computer. In fact I have quite a collection of graphic design programs these days and enjoy them as much as any other medium.  I'm a "housewife with hobbies".
 I love to read, and what I love to read the most is popular fiction This doesn't make me a bad person, just common. Some of my favorite authors include ~ Stephen King ~ ~ Tabitha King ~ ~ Dean Koontz ~ ~ Frank Peretti ~ ~ Jonathon Kellerman ~ ~ Faye Kellerman ~ ~ J.K. Rowlings ~ You get the idea. And let's not forget J.R.R. Tolkien I just finished the 'Left Behind' series, the 10 books that were out prior to 2003, and I enjoyed them very much.
MY OTHER HOBBIES INCLUDE 
I prefer to do cartoon character cakes. Gardening and collecting salt and pepper shakers. I have around 70 sets.
