First tell me a little bit about how you got started. When did you
make the move to Etsy with your products?
I actually made the move to Etsy on my 30th birthday! This past October... I kind of did it as a gift to myself to finally do what I've been wanting to do for so long now which is share my art with others, not just on the computer, but in real life... framed, matted, up on a wall!

What inspires you most?
I find inspiration in almost everything and everyone around me. I've been taking pictures for as long as I can remember, and you will rarely ever see me without a camera by my side. I love to travel, even if it is just a road trip for a day (or photo trip as we call them) with

my sister to go somewhere we've never been and just take photo's all day!
Share a funny and/or scary crafting story!
Well my most recent mishap just happens to be an injury story! Me and my sister decided to hike around the desert to see the wildflowers blooming... which is a very surreal, amazing site to see! I saw a gorgeous bright red flower and it was the only one around so I just had to get the shot. I tend to get right in there while photographing so I was in a very twisted position half on the sand with the other leg balancing myself so not to crush a line of ants. When all of a sudden I lost my balance and BAM right onto a cactus! No less a "teddy bear" cactus I later found out it is called... not so cuddly... Just writing this I can still feel the sting! Ow!
What is your favorite item currently in your shop and why?
I actually have 2 favorite listings... "That's the life" because I just love the colors in it, and it has a sort of calming effect on me. It's funny though, both my mom and sister initially told me they just didn't like it for some reason... but then it grew on them and is now one of their favorites as well!
My other favorite is "Sw
ing" because it reminds me of the care-free fun I had the day it was taken. Me and my sister woke up for work one morning and decided we wanted to play hooky! So we went to the county fair! I think we had more fun that day because we were supposed to be at work, not eating corn dogs and funnel cakes!
**Side note from Knit: Did she just say corn dogs? I think she is my soul mate!**
What is your “day job” if you are not a full-time seller? Do you ever
take inspiration from your “day job”?
I'm an office manager/receptionist/secretary/Girl Friday... basically I run the show in the office! I have found inspiration while at work, however only a few times was able to take advantage of it while the boss was away. You can actually view a few of those instances on my flickr stream in my 365 set.
Tell me 3 interesting things about you.
~I am a huge animal person, and spend a great deal of time working with rescue agencies all across the country. I try to find animals in danger a place of safe haven, a foster home, or even better a forever home.
~My sister is not only family, but my best friend. We do pretty much everything together! Which includes many many long road trips!
~I very rarely get mad, and pretty much always have a smile on my face! Also, I never hold grudges, love to laugh, and even love it more when I make someone else laugh!
