Bio & Headshot

Well Hello there! If you've stumbled your way to this blog WELCOME! I'm a widwestern gal who is darn crafty. I love taking all kinds of pictures,  but taking funny ones of myself are my favourite. I am a t.v. and movie addict who can remeber all kinds of movie history, actors names, dates and trivia, however, I cannot seem to remember where I put my purse, keys and sometimes my children! 

To learn more about me you can get a backstage tour by clicking on the different links and visiting the bio/headshot area.

Sag/ and Oscar odds and ends

 

Tonight is the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I love this awards ceremony, because this where the actors nominate and award each other. Kinda funny and self indulgent. I like to watch this one because just like the Golden Globes it is a relaxed atmosphere and  there is alcohol served, so you never know what is going to be said.

Saw this in the paper this morning. If you are going to have an Oscar party, these little factoids might be fun for a trivia game.
