HELLO

Meet Joy

  1. I took piano lessons as an adult. My teacher said I was better than most of her students. It would’ve held more weight had my classmates not been five-year-olds.
  2. I love all things butterflies. Who wouldn’t love a creature that can transform itself into something so majestic?
  3. I love big cats. Particularly lions and panthers.
  4. I am a hobbyist cake decorator. I’ve been told that I make the best ever triple chocolate cake.
  5. I love Maya Angelou quotes. My favorite quote is: “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”
  6. My nickname is … well, I’ll share that one a little later.
  7. I love glitter. Like love, love glitter.
  8. I have a ridiculous collection of Sharpie markers.
  9. I love horror movies, but refuse to watch THE EXORCIST. Not now; not never!!!

Lastly, and probably the most important thing you should know about me…

  1. I DETEST SPIDERS WITH A PASSION!!!
