Some Funky Facts About Me
My house is full of music, art & the smell of baking bread almost everyday, My husband & both sons are musicians, I am a proud daughter of a Potawatomi Indian and the Sweetest of Southern women, My Best friend once dated Robin Williams & Dave Koz made a video for her memorial- she was funny- we were funny together, I don't like to eat a lot of things that start with the letter A with the exception of apples & artichokes, I love shoes but hardly wear them, I am the only one to have blonde hair & blue eyes in my family that is impossible to curl, I like to paint late at night, I like boating but get sea sick on the ocean, I like cats but have bad luck when it comes to owning them, I appreciate gardens but hate to garden because of dirt & bugs, dark yellow is one of my favorite colors, I am basically a shy person but I can hide it well, I am legally blind in my left eye, I would like to have a gypsy wagon or a vintage camper trailer for studio space, I like to make my own perfume, I have lived in a house with ghosts, I used to catch & collect dragonflies when I was a kid, I received an actual miracle healing from God, and sometimes my friends and family call me Jana.
Things I Love
Time spent with my husband & sons , my family, my friends; hearing my boys belly laugh; my poodle - Roadie; Rainy days & colorful umbrellas, Festivals that aren't just carnivals; looking at art- especially something odd; movies that make you think; being under the covers with the window open when it's cold outside; sweaters; crabbin' in a muddy creek with a just a fish head & string; all things beachy; walks at the river; music -but i couldn't possibly pick which genre is my favorite, driving in the rain with jazz or blues music, reggae when painting mermaids, Motown when I'm cleaning house, rock when I'm in a party mood, country when misery loves company; making other people laugh; smiley people & pirates; traveling- especially going to old little towns; the smell of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, the big trees in the Avenue of the Giants, Myrtle Beach, Mendocino, Seattle & pikake; camping; cooking outside; cooking gourmet food for others, dinner parties with great conversation, good wine, hot food -the hotter & spicier the better, chinese food eaten out of the carton, peanuts in my Pepsi, sushi, coffee, and brand new paint brushes!

I love this mermaid Jana! Can I call you Jana? Funny, after "knowing" each other for all these years I've never known what to call you, haha! I thought maybe for a long time it was Jane. Then thought well maybe it's Campbell.
I have to admit, I've kinda stalked all your "about me" pages on Etsy, Twitter, Ebay, G+ and never found a definitive answer but today I managed to scroll all the way down the blog and read all the really cool and interesting things about you and found your name. Whew! That was a lot of effort. ha ha but you are worth it. I have always been an admirer of your work and when I switched from Blogger to Wordpress, I lost touch with a lot of blogging friends, you included. There just isn't a good or easy way to follow one another if one is doing Blogger and the other Wordpress that I have found. But now that I'm using Google+ more I'll keep up with all your fabulous paintings and who knew! You do all kinds of other cool stuff, too! I'm going to have to make those pretty gypsy bracelets.
While reading your bio at the bottom, I have to say your description of yourself isn't at all what I envisioned you to look like! I always thought the profile painting was you with the dark hair! Ha ha... another insight.
Well now that I have really wrote a book here, I'm so glad that I've found you again. Your work is very inspirational for me. Your life sounds fantastic by the way :)
