A small post about myself.

I don't normally enjoy talking about my self but for the sake of the blog I think I can muster up a little info. My name is Helen, I'm 23 and I have owned various small animals most of my life. I have had mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Now I have two chinchillas and a hedgehog. I have a big heart full of love and compassion for all things furry.

Today I'm blogging from my glass blowing class. We do a lot of waiting for our turn to make something, so I took the opportunity to write this post. We have been practicing making cups for a few weeks now. Apparently you cant learn anything else until you master making a small cup like vessel. Today I made the best looking one out of all the others I made.

My recreational time is mostly made up of hanging out with my friends, my family, and my babies. I hula hoop on really nice days but I haven't been practicing lately. I like to go to thrift stores and find treasures. Recently I found 1920's depression era Uranium Glass bowls. They glow under black light and have a green tint in regular light. I got each dish for 75 cents, they are worth at the very least $20 a piece. They are priceless to me.
