Hello. Hi. Aloha. Bonjour! Guten tag. Ni hao. Konnichiwa.
I have been crafty for as long as I can remember, but I really found my passion in 2005 when I designed and created my own wedding invitations in an effort to save money. I staged my own engagement photos and and printed our favorite
images on vellum. The vellum photo was an overlay to a heat embossed linen paper invitation. Little did I know that saving money 15 years ago most certainly did NOT in the long run!
In 2012, I began teaching classes in my home studio as well as throughout my greater community to share my love of papercrafting with others. I have discovered I enjoy teaching just as much as I love creating. I have had the benefit of teaching a variety of classes at craft trade shows with Heirloom Productions, Scrapbook Expo and Stamp Scrap Art Tour. I also teach weekly classes in my home studio.
When I'm not crafting, I also enjoy baking, reading, yoga, word puzzles and playing board games with my family. Hailing from small town, Dexter, Maine, my husband and I currently live in Western Massachusetts with our three rescue cats Sadie, Guinness and Pizu.
