I figure the best way to tell you about myself is to give you some lists. I am big on lists. To Do List. Songs on a desert island list. Top five cutest boys list. You get my drift. But let me preface this by saying that I am a bit of a dork, as will become obvious by my lists, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I truly believe with all of my heart that I am the luckiest girl in the world. So, without further ado...

And I guess there are a few things that don't quite fit into a list. Like I went to school at Southwest Texas State University and studied under the fabulous Beverly Penn. I received a bachelor's degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Metalsmithing. I love what I do, I love art and creating things, but I don't take myself too seriously. It has to be fun. I also really believe that hand made art should be accessible to everyone - not just people with lots-o-money. I live in a little town outside of Austin and dream of buying an untouched (no granite countertops please!) little 1950's house in the heart of Austin. I have a little studio in my house and I love it. It's filled with stuff I need and lots of stuff I like to look at. My staff includes: my webmaster, aka my husband Tom, aka Metalsboy, my mom, aka queen of errands and anything I can think of for her to do on any given day, my little brother and my dad from time to time, various friends who help me when I am in a panic, and last but not least my team of "alert" dogs who let me know when UPS or FedEx arrive, when the mail is being delivered to the mailbox at the curb, when a neighbor exits their house, or a leaf blows by. And as if our life is not quite busy enough we give our time, home, and love to many foster dogs for Blue Dog Rescue. http://www.bluedogrescue.com/ We've been a part of Blue Dog since day one when a group of people sat around in my living room trying to brain storm up a name for our newly formed rescue group. Since February of 2000 we have rescued more than 1,600 dogs and I am extraordinarily proud of what we have accomplished not only in saving the lives of these dogs, but in local education on pet overpopulation, and in our spay/neuter program. That's about it in a nut shell. Thanks so much for visiting http://www.metalsgirl.com/
