My name is Shana-- well, my nickname is Birdie, actually. Even just "Bird" sometimes. I have many nicknames, but Birdie is probably my favorite.
I'm a jill-of-all-trades, and enjoy dabbling in this and that, keeping myself busier than I ever intend to. That's where the name of this blog comes from, after all... I'm a very, very busy birdie.
A lot of my heritage is Native American, and in the Native American culture, you become what you are named. Ironically, "Shana" means "little bird"-- and that's exactly what I am.
I chirp incessantly. I'm a magpie, attracted to shiny things. I flutter from place to place and subject to subject. My house is my nest, and I am a nester. I collect things. I have A.D.D.... the fact that I've gotten this far into an introduction is actually incredible.
(I may or may not have stopped and came back a few times during the creation of this post. A.D.D. is the spice of life, after all.)
I'm married to a wonderful man named Jake, and am currently pregnant with TWINS! It's a new chapter in my life... a book with many diverse chapters already written. I've been a waitress, a reporter, a teacher, worked in radio, and had an accounting job. I'm a hustler at heart, and have a combination of "side jobs" now... I'm a makeup artist, a pinup girl, a plus-size model, a rhinestoner, an independent Scentsy consultant, a crafter, a baker, an amateur photographer, and I also own my own vintage-inspired international pinup magazine.
But I think the best job yet is coming soon-- "twin mom".
I decided it's time to document my life, and put some of this creative energy to good use. So welcome to my entire life on one website-- where all of the insanity is conveniently located in one place.
