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.

New Pic


Hello everyone

It has been a while since I have posted on here. There really has not been anything much happening. I just got back from a week and a half trip to Ottawa. Coldest time of the year but it was an enjoyable time.

I also went shopping and got some clothes that fit me! Wooohoooooo. Here is pic of me in my "skinny jeans" and one of the new tops I got. To think 2 years ago I wore size 50 jeans, and these are size 13! I can hardly believe it myself but am so darned proud of all I have accomplished!
