About Me

I Design Handbags and accessories, I LOVE to paint, I love art and music too, as well as movies. I have 2 four legged children named Bonnie and Clyde who are always with me, and Cat, a kitten that I found in my neighborhood...... I enjoy going for walks, and running in the park, as well as lounging in my back yard, I love thunder & lightning storms, but unfortunately we do not get them here in Sacramento.....I could watch Breakfast at Tiffany's 7 days a week. I absolutely LOVE a child's point of view! You can learn so much from them. I'm also crazy about tennis, mainly spectating, but I like to play too..... My husband and I are always together when he's home, he is my best friend ,and we love to travel. We try to get to Europe at least once a year......I love old churches and architecture, and taking tons of photos of everything that I see.

I am looking forward to meeting some great new friends here, and maybe some from the past as well!
