i work full time as a doggie daycamp counselor @a Camp Bow Wow and part time as a veterinary receptionist. Dogs are my passion.i'm a 30+ year member of the K-9 Obedience Training Club of Essex County, NJ. i have a senior lab/shepherd mix named Cary.

i live in New Jersey and altho' i was born in Western Pa. i am a real Jersey Girl!

i am Christian and belong to an AWESOME church - Oasis Christian Centre!

i love to paint! Usually decorative painting or dog portraits. i paint on lots of surfaces but mostly wood. i am starting an Etsy shop and have dipped my toes in a craft show or two...but realized i need to add significantly to my inventory first! It's a slow process but i think i will have fun selling my work some day! i do sell my work every January at my dog training club's obedience trial, but i donate those sales to the club to defray the cost of the trial a little bit.

i am also a huge fan of papercrafts - all kinds! i attend scrapbooking crops now & then, love to do pages of my dogs of course! And i also love mini albums - my stash of $1 chipboard albums from Michael's is overflowing! i own lots of tools...hoping this site gets me to use them! My original Cricut, Big Shot and Cinch are all waiting to be utilized! My passion for paper is still not under control and the collection keeps growing! So i am hoping for a lot of motivation from my new friends on this site!

i love all music - i have 45s, albums and CDs of all kinds...from rock to rap to country to alternative to classical and back again. But my absolute FAVE is David Bowie - been a fan since about 1972. Next would be KISS...i see them as much as i can! And altho' Springsteen is considered the Jersey fave...my heart belongs to Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes!

i am single and share my home with my mom & brother, who is recently divorced. i have 2 nieces (24 & 13) and 1 nephew (7) - they all know i am the coolest aunt in the world!

anything dogs!, angels, paint, stickers, scrappy embellishments, chipboard, country decor, apples, patterned papers, pens, pencils, books, Christmas, Halloween...more to come as i look around and see what i really do collect! LOL
