About Me

Originally, I started using MySpace because many of my high school students would tell me about their page and ask me to check out their band's music or things of that sort. I was surprised to find so many people I knew on here too! This has become a great forum for me to catch up with long lost friends and to make a new one here and there as well :) More about me under "General Interest"...Create or get your
very own MySpace Layouts

My Interests

Word of the DayQuotation of the Day This Day in HistoryIn what seems like another lifetime, I was an art student (sculpture concentration). During that time I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people and travel to some pretty incredible places...I lived in England for awhile (University of Essex) and took marble carving classes in Italy . (Pietrasanta) I traveled throughout the US doing a ton of fine art photography...I'm a certified Art Ed instructor but have been teaching Special Ed for nearly 10 years now...I love my job and my students (most of them..LOL) but I would like to get back into teaching art eventually. I got married a few years back to an incredible guy I've known since high school ((strangely enough)) and with him I traveled back to Europe (France, Spain, Italy) and also got to see a bit of Africa (Tunis) I love to dance...I especially love dancing to middle eastern and latin music but a little hip hop will do if it's what's on! I love to read (when I have time :) and to take in an occasional cheesy movie :) I have an incredible daughter and though her, I've become more addicted photography and Scrapbooking! I am a lucky woman in so many ways and I try not to let a day pass by taken for granted. I consider myself truly blessed. Some of my own work:
