Here are 9 Fierce Facts about Anna and one line is completely fictional.  Get involved by guessing which one of the 10 items listed below is the impostor. Put your comments below to test your sleuthing skills!  The fictional statement about Anna will be posted next Tuesday when I feature the next CN Teammie. See below for the false fact about last week's featured teammie, Stacey.

1.  I’m originally from Missouri; however I’ve lived in Florida for over 20 years, except for a period of time when I lived in Madrid, Spain.

2.  I have a master’s in public administration and previously worked as an HR administrator for the state attorney's office. I’ve also worked as a state social worker and I was a bartender for five years. I’ve almost completed a veterinary nursing degree as well. Last year I got to intern at a veterinary hospital where I was able to observe (and participate a little) in surgeries. It was amazing! I’ve been happily self-employed since 2007.

3.  I grew up an only child; however I always thought it’d be fun to have lots of brothers and sisters!

4.  For a brief time when I was very young we had an outhouse instead of indoor plumbing on our farm in Missouri. My parents also ran a food co-op, grew all of our food and kept bees.

5.  My family moved to Madrid, Spain when I was in high school. I went to an International school in Madrid and I was able to travel around Europe during the years my family was there. I even backpacked alone once from Germany to Spain, stopping in France and Belgium on the way. Kinda crazy now that I look back, but I was 19 at the time and, of course, invincible!

6.  I love to horseback ride and work with horses! I’ve been western riding for years. I’ve also worked as a volunteer with a therapeutic horse riding program and a wild horse rescue center. Sadly though, I’ve never owned my own horse.

7.  I think Creature Collars was founded when I was about 7 years old. I loved to make leashes, collars, harnesses and reins for all my toy horses and stuffed animals. I even made a harness and leash for my pet hamster so I could walk him around the house!

8.  I have a huge sweet tooth! I don’t go a day without eating a little sweet treat of some kind. Although I’m trying to break that habit!

9.  I’ve always had animals in my house. I think a house feels a little empty without a pet. I have 6 cats and 2 dogs, all shelter rescues or adopted strays. My newest family member, little “Hobo” is singing me a song in the photo above. He’s also the model for some of my shop photos. My other dog, “Beany”, is almost 18 years old!

10. I’m part of a group of seven girls who have been close friends for almost 25 years. We all met in middle school and still get together often. It’s an amazing experience to go through all of life’s ups and downs with these gals!

*******Last week's false fact about Stacey from CreaShines was this one: #6: She said she doesn't need to have Jean Claude Van Damme's babies.  HOWEVER, she would LOVE to meet him but just to maybe make out for a bit and have him whisper sweet French nothings into her ear.
