More about me...

Lets see... I love chocolate. I have an obsession for skin care. I love the sun. I am a Leo. I picked up my first camera in the Summer of 2008. My husband is in Afghanistan. My friends are my family and my family is my life. I love Diet Coke. I love shopping (too much). I drive to relax. I am a news and reality tv addict. I have a passion for interior decorating. Jewelry makes me happy. My love language is gifts : ). When my kids get along, my day is good... when they don't, it's ugly. I have 2 degrees in psychology that I used to go into sales. I've sold everything from postage meters to PET machines (Positron Emission Tomography). I have a huge interest in healthcare and love to talk about medical things, but mostly I just love to take pictures.

In the last year, since I ❤ Faces has taken over my life, I have learned more than I could have even imagined. I love free education! I love peoples stories and photographs to go with them. I am blown away by the vast amount of talent that is out there. I am awe stricken every day by the sheer brilliance of photos I see on I Faces and I'm driven to try to create ore and more beautiful art. The people are so supportive and friendly and I honestly feel at home when I am cruising through the website. So, Thank You to Angie and Amy for making my online addiction one that I am learning from and one that I direct people to when they ask, “Where did you learn everything?”

So in preparation for the big week ahead, here are some of my brilliant and highly amusing outtakes....
