About Me:

I am a mosaic artist living at the Jersey Shore with my husband and my AussiePoo Polly. I love to entertain and go out on our boat, crabbing or just cruising Barnegat Bay. Some of my work can be seen @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/glassylassmosaic Website: http://www.artbreak.com/glassylass http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kathleen-McKen...

Favorite area of home improvement:

I am always thinking of ways to improve my living environment~~ inside and out.
