Here is the last of our weekly FMS team profiles! We hope you've enjoyed meeting us as much as we enjoy working for you! And while her profile appears last, Ki is first in our hearts as she inspires us, and we hope you, daily!

HOME BASE: Los Angeles

FMS JOB: "A lot of some things and a little of everything. Project ideator and designer. Overal over-see-er. Conceptual planner-t0-proofing crazy person. Bookkeeper and keeper of the budget."

"DAY JOB": "That is it...along with my Junk Revolution Community, my Junk Revolution online store and my event, Junk Bonanza."

ALTER EGO: "Mike Rowe's replacement on the TV show Dirty Jobs, with a good singing voice."

"FROM": "Minnesota-born and raised."

FUN FACT: Ki is short for KiAnn

DREAM JOB (BESIDES THIS ONE): "Opening a retail vintage store in LA."

BEDSIDE READING: "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.

WOULD SAVE IF THE HOUSE WERE ON FIRE: "My black appointment book and pics of my kids."

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT: "Family, friends and horses."

THE PERFECT DAY: "A cup of dark roast coffee, 72 degrees, sunny. A horseback ride in the morning, flea market in the afternoon and dinner with my kids that includes a tall glass of chardonnay."

ON HER iPOD: "I listen to Pandora all day long (contemporary but easy listening while I work)."

IMPORTANT FAMILY/FOLKS: "All of them! I am blessed with the best two kids in the world and family and friends. I am the luckiest gal in the world for sure!"

PETS: "Aunt to Beans and Rigley, my daughter's dogs. Hope to have my own horse again soon along with a dog."

COMFORTABLE CLOTHES: "Jeans, tee, sweatshirt and sneakers."

WILL NEVER BE FOUND: "At a nail salon."

STARTS THE MORNING: "With coffee and more coffee and a glass of juice and a prayer."

GUILTY PLEASURE: Horses and wine

NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE WITHOUT: "My phone and my black book."

FAVORITE JUNKING HAUNTS: "Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa with my junking buddy, Cammie. In the middle of nowhere. Neither snow, nor freezing temps, or extreme heat or mosquitoes can dampen my junking spirit!"

NO ONE WOULD GUESS YOU: "Are a bit of a minimalist when it comes to decorating my own place. Can adequately back a trailer, but couldn't parallel park a car 'til they came up with back-up cameras. I hate scents or perfumes in any products."

FAVORITE QUOTES: " 'Those who discourage your dreams have likely abandoned their own.' --Anonymous, and, 'The more you know, the more you know you don't know.' ''

BEST ADVICE: "Be nice to everybody. Everybody. Never take off your rose-colored glasses. That is where you will find your inspiration and creativity."

Ki's outlook is unendingly rosy, because her creative hits just keep on coming! Among them will be the latest issue of FMS, which we hope is not too far off from coming to a newsstand near you!
