Grew up in Anacortes, spent two years in Bellingham before moving to "The big City" when I was 20. then moved to Olympia intending to become a'greener'. Got bored (but the campus was beautiful!), moved back home  to Seattle after 8 mos.Fiddled around for a long time in my 20's. I don't remember much-but I'm pretty sure most of it was a great time, got in shape, got married (and more cats!), got a super awesome job at the bead shop (World Beads downtown). I still read astrology charts for friends, paint obsessively, make jewelry and teach others the fine art of jewelry making. In my spare time I crochet, run, paint,Read hoards of nonfiction (psychology, and HIV/AIDS), love politics( Liberal Socialist),Yes to Gay marriage (duh), yes to abortion rights, no to eating critters(for me), no thank you to war,and big yes to cupcakes!!!
