OMG..Where have I been ??? + 3 things about me

Well, I've been reading a lot of blogs on design, working out for the first time in my life and loving how I feel. And, a very private and personal part of most of my waking hours are devoted to caring for my Mother.
I have had my blog since 2006, I don't really share too much information about myself...I don't know if you are interested  in "me". Sometimes there seems to be more important things in life than sharing my latest junk find.
Three personal things about me you may or may not want to know.

1. I did not marry until I was 45 years old. Gasp. Why? To busy with working, traveling the world and making a life for myself. I did eventually marry my dream man. We have a fabulous life together.

2. I was a the forefront of "Country Design" in the early 80's in the Seattle area. My retail store was recognized nationally by several design magazines. My passion for design in all forms started when I was a very young child, and I tend to over decorate my home. Why? Because, I can not tame my obsessive designer tendencies.

3. I am happiest when I'm in nature with my two dogs, McKinley and Pasha. We also have two small dogs, Gigi and Prince.

Want to know more ? Only if you are interested. There are some juicy parts, too.
Make it a GREAT day, life really is short and wonderful !!
