About Me

tweetybrrd
I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.

A Couple New Pics

The 2 new pics to the right, were taken at my Cribbage League Banquet May 3/08. We're recieving the plaques for winning the captain & co-captain playoff as well as receiving the trophy for the team winning the Season's Champs! I am 92.8 pounds lighter here. The lighting in the hall did not do me any justice (I take a lousy pic anways LOL) and the person taking the pics was not familiar with my camera. I'll have some much better pics come June at our family reunion where we will be outside and the lighting will be much better. Hopefully by then I will be very close to reaching the 100 pounds lost mark.
