I've been a storyteller, artist, and crafter all my life. I've been dog and cat owned since I was very young. As an adult I have added all manner of critters in need of a new home to my family, including birds of all sizes, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, an iguana, horses, and mules. I've sold crafts at craft fairs, told stories at festivals, been an horse camp counselor, been a puppeteer, and was a children's librarian for too many years.
