I have been a crafter of many kinds for most of my life. In fact, I still have some of my drawings, sketches and decoupage projects from my pre-teen years!
I started scrapbooking after I found huge boxes of old family photos at my parents’ house. For ten months I created seven identical scrapbooks for my siblings and parents for Christmas that year. Imagine the tears and surprise when they opened the 42-page books I had made. Well, there was no turning back for me…I was absolutely hooked on my new artistic hobby.
I have an at-home scrapbooking business where I host monthly crops in my home, vend at local events, scrap-4-hire and have sold handmade items on eBay. I have been a product demonstrator for Xyron, Inc. and have created projects for the company’s website and product packaging. I have also worked the consumer scrapbook shows for a few years with two different scrapbook companies.
I love being able to preserve memories of my family and my life, but I extremely enjoy the artistic side of the craft. Altered items, hand lettering, machine stitching on paper creating books from scratch. I could go on about the love I have with paper.
I am extremely thrilled to have the opportunity to teach online crafting classes at My Creative Classroom. I get to create what I love and share my passion with others. It really can’t get much better!!
