Born & raised in central Jersey. Moved to Soprano land at thirty and moved to PA over a year ago. Always loved Philly, lot of great eats, but nothing like the eats in North Jersey. Currently live outside of Philly and work in the city for a large format printing/production company. I am also a freelance Photographer, check out some of my photos. My husband & I currently volunteer for an organization called SAVE THE CATS.
Been happily married for almost 5 years to the man of my wicked dreams, John (check out his website, Caricatoonz.com). And am totally loved and adored by my 3 beautiful cats, Kricket, Spider and Johnny (aren't they cute?).
I love to cook and bake cookies. I travel all around the area to street fairs and festivals with my husband. He is an amazing Caricature Artist and illustrator. He sells his drawings as I sell my delicious cookies. So if you are interested in buying a caricature or some cookies, check us out at one of the several festivals we attend. You can find us every year at the NJ QuikCheck Festival of Ballooning.
I can be a tough cookie. I AM a Jersey Girl. I am a person that stays true as possible to myself. My up-bringing (not an easy hostile enviroment) helped make me the person I am today. I do curse, somethings that surprises a lot of people. I must admit that I sometimes have a short fuse, only with certain things or events. I am German, Irish, Scottish and an Aries.
I don't appreciate phoniness or people who use other people to get ahead, that's just plain wrong. I think I have a great bull-shit detector. Not afraid of much. I like to learn new things. The best thing I have done recently is to learn NOT TO WORRY OR TO FEEL GUILTY. Worry and Guilt are the most futile emotions in life. Don't throw away the present moment when you worry about what MIGHT happen in the future and/or feel guilty for something that is the past and CANNOT be changed. Just learn.
