I have been tagged by BJ Lantz; who continues to inspire me everyday...although I doubt she knows it. I find her blog the most interesting to read which is how I knew I had been tagged. I have to tell everyone 7 things about myself that you might not know about me. Thanks BJ for sharing your creativity & knowledge with us!!!!!

Here goes;

-I left California right after graduating college to conquer the New York Fashion Industry! That was 20 years ago...WOW. I was only supposed to stay 6mo. to a year, get as much experience as I could and then head back...needless to say I am still here on the east coast doin' my thing!!!
-I love animals and have a dog named Chelsea. I can't tell you exactly her breed, but she looks like a fox, other than that the jury is still out. She blends in well in my household being that most of us are mutts in my house and proud of it!!!!
-I am proud to say that my moms family is Creole from New Orleans and yes we make Gumbo, play pitty pat and dance the 2nd line.
-My father is Mexican American also known as Chicano, which is the reason for the big Cinco de Mayo parties at my house...ps; does anyone still make their own taco shells as apposed to the store bought ones? I do and I can't find a restaurant that does on the East Coast or the West Coast.
-I've always wanted to teach art to kids/young adults and inspire them about the many options there are for artists today! Who knows... maybe one day I will.
-City Island in the Bronx is my favorite place to hang out with my family. Johnny's has jumbo shrimp w/fries and killa pina coladas. We make sure to go early before all of the real excitement happens!!! If you know the Bronx you know what I mean!!!
-I love to socialize with like minds...I can be shy at first but get me going and theres no stoppin'!!!
