Do Work

About Me

Let's see, I am a wife of eleven years to my longtime sweetheart and mom of a brilliant 9-year old son and two kitty cats. I hold the occupations of Elementary School Paraeducator, Substitute School Nurse, Happy Homemaker, Woman of Leisure as well as the Nosey Neighbor on your block.


I enjoy spending my time searching on eBay for things to add to my collections, gardening & making things grow with my two green thumbs, crocheting, paper-crafting, cardmaking, scrapping and taking photos. I will pretty much try any art or craft and love dumping my craft experiments off on friends who have to have no choice but to accept them graciously. If you've been the recipient, you know what I'm talking about.
My favorite thing of all to do as a family is being a rail fan and taking my boy to the tracks to watch the trains or going to train shows/museums. We also enjoy daytrips and trying out different hotels. We love to order room service!
Last but not least, I am proud to be a Leprechano. The product of a Mexican mom and a Irish dad.

My Interests

I collect Mexican Folk Art, Talavera Pottery and Day of the Dead stuff.
I also have a collection of vintage Popeye toys.



All hail the mighty blue agave
