About Me

Typical girl next door... Love to shop for handbags, ride bikes with my kids, and decorate the house. A graphic designer by trade and an entrepreneur at heart... founded OOGALOO, a little greeting card company... not a millionaire, but love it. Oh! Did I mention HANDBAGS?... I just love 'em.

Named after Hayley Mills...
my dad had a crush on her (and apparently couldn't spell.) Now that's creepy.

Learning to surf...

... and go-go dancing. Yeah, baby!

And someday...

My Interests

My Kids! They are the best... way too cute to post pics of them online. This is the illustration on our Christmas card from a few years ago (Shag inspired). I told you they were cute!

Very interested in Steve (Commodore Schmidlapp), drummer in "The Verbtones" (yes, I married a HOT drummer!)

Graphic design and thrift stores. Old movies, radios, and handbags (circa 40s, 50s, and 60s).

VW GTI Mk5, anything tiki, MCM homes and furniture, and vintage travel trailers... plan to caravan around in my '56 Airstream Safari when I retire.

I'd like to meet:

Doris Day, Sean Connery (the true James Bond), Roy Clark and the whole HeeHaw Gang.

Music:

SURF: The Verbtones (Of course! They practice in my family room... I can't get away from them.)

Movies:

Pillow Talk (all time favorite... and anything with Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall!) The Italian Job, and Dirty Dancing (to my own shame.)

Television:



HeeHaw, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie.

Heroes:

My mom, Grace Kelly and Milton Glaser (a true innovator.)

Online shopping!

Clip from the 1967 film 1999 A.D. in which we see the family of the future shopping, paying bills and using electronic mail from home. Oh, those whacky futurists... That could never happen for reals! ...
