Hello, my name is Iara (yes, it is my real name *Ü*) and I am the person behind Baers Garten Graphics.

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, on June 16th. I am a only child now. My only sister, Amanda, died when I was 14.

I believe in God. God has always been by my side and I only have reasons to thank him.

I always loved all kind of hand crafts and to draw. I am addicted to cross-stitch, scrapbooking and to my computer. I love to draw using my PSP and my mouse and to work on my websites. I am also addicted to scrapbooking, both paper and digital, and also design graphics for digital scrapbooking.

I also love to read and to study and have studied a lot. First I got my degree of kindergarten teacher (1993), them my bacharelor of biological sciences (1997 - University of Campinas, Brazil), Masters of morphological sciences (1999 - Institute of Anatomy, University of Campinas, Brazil) and PhD of Biomedical Sciences (2005 - Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Philips University Marburg, Germany). I am so happy to have had the possibility of study and have learned so much wonderful things. If I could go back in the time, I would do the same again.

My mother language is Portuguese and the only language I can speak and write without mistakes, but I also speak German, English and Spanish and can read French and Italian.

I have worked in all kind of jobs, from waitress to scientist and I believe that each job and each person I have met in such different situations has contributed to built my personality and my way to see the life and world. I am actually working in my dream job as a SAHM of my precious daughter, Maisa, born on July 31st, 2005 and my precious son, Theo, born on February 7, 2007. I am married to the big love of my life since June 1st, 2002. We know each other since 9 years already and have been a couple since the third time we met *Ü* My husband and my daughter are Germans. My son was born in Spain.
