Community Queen bio

Well, since Leslie shared her bio I am compelled to do the same.  Most of you in the Shopkeeper Community have, in one way or another, interacted with me – whether it’s on the CafePress Community Forums, Meet & Greet events, weekly chats, reached out to me via email, or have been familiar with my mug on the monthly ShopTalk newsletter.  My role here is to be a Shopkeeper advocate – I’m here for you!  And so follows the title of Community Queen – or at least I like to see myself as one ;) 

 

I’ve been here almost as long as Fred, CafePress founder… Well, maybe not quite but this October will be my 7^th anniversary here.  For those of you that have had a chance to meet or chat with me, you know I love CafePress, my job, Shopkeepers… and if you really know me well, I love to eat (and I’m always hungry).    

 

In my years here, I have met so many interesting Shopkeepers, each with an interesting story... and if we had all day, I’d share them all. Since blog entries are supposed to be short, though, I’ll share one Shopkeeper's dillio that's pretty unique.  She’s active in the Community, she likes goats... any guesses?  Yes, it’s Goatlady!  Her “gutmonkey” as Leslie would say, is goats.  She’s very passionate about goats – her shop is all about goats.  She has over a hundred goats and what I find most interesting is the fact that each goat has his/her own name, and Goatlady is able to tell each one from another! If you get a chance to chat with Goatlady on the Community Forums, please do.  She’s an awesome lady with, from what I understand, some awesome goats.

Once I heard the goats on a phone call with her. That's about as close as I've even been to a goat.

Oh did I mention? They're ALL special?
And do I miss the city? Not if meant giving up my babies.. And.. They DO all have names and they (most of the time) will answer to them. Yeah.. They ARE my Gut Monkey (but I won't be telling them that)
Gotta just love'em though Oh.. and I design T-shirts too.. LOL

Thank you Angela, My life has been a bit unusual- from a Bay Area city girl chauffeur(Yes that's me albeit almost 20 yrs ago)with a degree in medicine to being the old goatlady in the middle of MO and all her goats
I don't spoil my goats much by letting sleep in my bed and they are not allowed to watch much TV or hog the space heater!
And Only the Special Ones get kisses.
