Hey look! It's Megan!

Lady Shrie, of the red hair
Born and raised in rural east Texas, Shrie swears by the healing power of rice and beans, cream gravy, hot sauce and cheesy casseroles.
Besides dog parkin' it with the dogs, honing her crafting wiles, making mixtapes and eating her hubs' stellar cooking, she also enjoys writing about music, DIYin' and design.
She moved up to WA with her red dog, Clem the Chusky, the burly hubby Brett and their two neurotic cats. The newest addition to her family is Iris, the Pittahoula.
