Brownie and girl scout. Loved the cookies.
Sports (below average at everything): gymnastics, golf, skiing, synchronized swimming, softball, soccer & dance.

Enjoyed hunting scorpions and building forts – barefoot. Intelligent creature.

Fell out of a tree once and landed on my face.

Did gymnastics for 11 years and quit because soccer uniforms were cuter. Seriously. Sucked at soccer. Scored goal for the other team.

Always loved art. Loved food more.
Mastered the pinata. I figured out that if I wore a dress to parties I could sit on a pile of candy and just shovel it under my dress. Wasn’t popular with other kids on pinata day.
Had a lot of cavities.
Moved to Boise in 1991.
Unfortunate middle school years. Red glasses and braces.

Dad was a pro tennis player. Uncle is a pro tennis player. Cousin plays for the bigs in baseball. Brother did play pro ball. Aunt was pro golfer. And I played all of the sports because the uniforms were cute and the snacks were good at the end of the game. What a letdown!

I used to love sparkly things so much that I stole a jar of glitter from church...while teaching Sunday school. (Check age on that one).

Rock bottom: Was briefly put on academic probation in college because I felt that beating Super Mario 3 would take me farther in life than my classes. Update...beat the game in just a hair under 8 wks.

Got married in Tucson 10/13/07.

Co-founded think pink with some friends. Raised nearly $50,000 to date.

Moved back to Boise in '06.

Have a jewelry business, Izzy P and a store downtown on 6th and Main.

Decided photography is really fun. Photoshop is even better. Diving in head first. I always pick cheap hobbies.

I blog when fun or pointless things go down. Design Eat Play
