Carole HortonAs a young child, Carole Horton always liked the feel of coins. She would rub her thumb across their surface and wonder where they had been. When she was about three years old, her older sister convinced her to trade all of her shiny coins for all ofher sister's darker ones. Carole traded her nickels, dimes and quarters for more of her sister's pennies-and had no idea she was giving away more than she was getting! Today, Carole collects pennies to make art pieces and murals, one of which used over 6,000 pennies. She loves to explore the Royal Canadian Mint, spend time at the lake, draw, journal, and sketch. With a full-time job, volunteering, curling, golfing, vacationing, and renovating her home, it's amazing she has time for anything else. But somehow she also finds the time to write invention ideas down in her notebook, and write her own comedy skits.Carole lost her mother when she was young, and was part of a blended family of seven. That was her inspiration for the blended Coin family and their bevvy of children. Carole lives in Timmins, in Northern Ontario, with her husband David. Her children, Savannah and Mackenzie, are twins who have moved out and are off on their own adventures. Read More Read Less
