Always being one to look outside the box has led me to many different side income hobbies. My latest (started back in 2008) is creating in vinyl. Born and raised in Los Angeles County, California, but transplanted to North Florida and loving it. Wife of a very talented painter, mom to a terrific son, step mom to three wonderful and beautiful step daughters, and Nana to a few grandbabies! I'm also house mom to our "blakdog" Darrow, a retired guide dog for the blind, 4 house cats and a plethora of chickens! I love my life...and I LOVE making vinyl stickers in my spare time!

Oh yeah, blakdogs. Yeah, I know, it's spelled wrong. WAY back when I got my first email address (decades ago), I could only have so many letters. So, I shortened blackdogs to blakdogs and have used it ever since! Yes, I have been owned by many black labs.

I work full time at the Clay County Humane Society and have been there for 28 years. I've worked as a certified pet dog trainer, competed in agility (AKC, USDAA, NADAC), obedience (AKC), and just dabbled in field work (AKC). I also finished my Australian Shepherd's RACH (Rally Championship) in April of 2023. I competed with two of my Labradors in the Animal Planet All Stars Challenge, one in agility (making it to the final round) and one in dock diving (belly flopping at it's finest!). I'm currently a Tester/Observer for Alliance of Therapy Dogs, Inc.., evaluating pet-assisted therapy dogs for my area, and have been volunteering in the nursing homes, hospitals, schools and libraries through therapy work with my dogs for decades as well.

Enough about me though...I'm just thankful you've found me! :~} Look around the shop and enjoy yourself...if you don't find what you're looking for, ask! I'm happy to take custom orders!
