I am a mother of two teenage boys.

I started clowning for my children family and friends. I decided that since I knew how to sew, I could make my costumes and I was gifted in the arts, so face painting would be easy. I, as many other clowns, started out as a whiteface, "Jingles The Clown". After many years as Jingles I evolved into "JuJuBee The Clown", an auguste clown, with help of my friend, Milton "Shortee" Eldridge. I do many characters. Jingles - Whiteface, JuJuBee - August, Say-D - Hillbilly Character, Trudy The Christmas Elf, And Mrs.. Clause, Judy the Balloon Lady, More to come I'm sure.

I loved to learn new things -- that's when I bought my first balloon sculpturing book. After a gross or two of balloons, I was able to make four or five animals successfully. I was ready for my kid's birthday party. Much to my surprise, the adults had just as much fun as the children. After my first appearance, friends and family asked me to come to birthday parties and local charity events. This all started in 1987.

I belong to two clown organizations: Clowns Of America International and the World Clowns Organization. I am the current Clowns OF America International Ambassador For The Sate Of New Hampshire. I have served as Vice President and President of the COAI Pounds of Clowns, Alley #240. I am the past Newsletter Editor for the Greater Boston COAI Alley #54. I am a member of Hap's Alley, World Clown Association. Since 1997, I have actively been involved with competitions. In 2002 & 2003 I was in the Top Ten in Clowns Of America International Competition. Additionally I have won several awards for my balloon sculptures and single/double skits throughout the Northeast region. I have won 13 1st, 2nd or 3rd in 2003. I guess you could say I have come a long way. I do Magic, Puppetry, Ventriloquism, Balloon Story Telling, Facepainting, and over 50+ balloon sculptures as well as an assortment of balloon hats.

I do work for the Mt. Washington Hotel In Bretton Woods, NH; The Cog Rail Road, White Mts.; WOKQ97.5; Steve Thomas Magic; Dwight Damon Magic; Health And Human Services Of Concord Family Fun Day; NH Buddy Walk, Concord NH; Deerfield Fair; North East Benefits Teamsters Union; many other Entertainment Companies throughout New England.

A smile on a small child's face is worth all the money in the world
