Getting to Know Me

Here's a quick "about me" for Blogger!  I mainly blog from my personal style site, Cozy Reverie  and my art site, Noisy Merriment, but I didn’t want to leave this blank.  That would be silly.  I joined Blogger mainly to follow my favorite blogs and be able to comment on my favorites.  You can follow me on Bloglovin too!

I am a native of the hot and sunny San Fernando Valley, located in Southern California. I graduated with my BA in Theater from California State University – Northridge.  I am a single mother, with the most incredible four-year old in the universe.  IN THE UNIVERSE. 

Currently, I work a normal Monday through Friday desk job.  To achieve a creativity level that I (so desperately) need, I paint and write anything that my little heart desires.  This little hobby transformed into what is now known as Noisy Merriment.

Noisy Merriment began as a small Etsy shop that sold vintage items I had found in my mother’s closet.  I was tickled to find that I made my first sale the very next day!  A small bar sign sold for $5 literally overnight.  I decided to begin selling my artwork.  I had never had a way to reach people around the country before, so I figured I’d give it a shot. 

With the small success found with my Etsy shop, I created the Noisy Merriment blog and the Noisy Merriment Facebook fan page.  I was able to connect to people I had never met before; people who admired my work for what it was.  With the support and encouragement of family, friends, and fans, in 2012, I self-published my first children’s book, “Hooty Takes A Bath”.

I am excited and incredibly honored to be a partner in the project, A Waltz Through Disney.  From the beginning talks of this blog, I have been eager to create art that mirrors my opinion of the Disney world, which I hold very dear to my heart.  I grew up with Disney, and now my son is as well.  I hope to inspire and express new views, and encourage our readers to do the same.

Now, I have recently started my own neckwear fashion line: Cozy Reverie. With Cozy Reverie, I have added a personal style blog (www.cozyreverie.com), and Instagram account (@CozyReverie).  Connect with me there!
