After leaving my corporate career, I began chalk painting antiques and vintage furniture to restore their beauty.  Soon thereafter, my Company was showcased at McKinney and Frisco Mercantiles growing to include home decor.  All this fun became quite fulfilling using my God-given, artistic talents. With the demand and accolaids of friends and clients, I expanded my business to interior design, home decorating and staging and also offer fashion design including clothing and jewelry. My former Chalk This business has evolved to become Bells and Whistles.

My husband Stephen and I have two Yorkshire Terriers. Mason is the most loyal and adorable little guy.  He follows me to every room of the house and will sit behind my back on the chair as I work on the computer.  He is nine pounds of love bringing great joy to Momma.  Tawny is our spunky girl who we hoped would keep Mason company while we worked in corporate America.  She weaseled her way into our hearts and now thinks she rules the roost.
