Hey Friends!  Welcome!

I'm excited to continue my crafting journey with Stampin' Up! I'm a veteran crafter coming from Close To My Heart, where I joined at age 23 in 1996 and ran my business for almost 28 years.  The company closed on April 30th, 2024 but I wasn't ready to close my business, so I made the jump to SU! I am excited to continue sharing all things stamping, scrapbooking and papercrafting while having a blast holding classes, clubs, workshops, and weekend retreats in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  Meeting new crafty friends is one of my favorite things, and I love helping others start at-home businesses - I've been doing this since 1996, y'all...it works and there is great income to be earned crafting.  :)

I'm married and my husband and I have four kids - all grown & now married - so we are officially empty-nesters.  Woop!  LOL!  We have two beautiful granddaughters and they are such a light! My family is a treasure and they are each such incredible people.  In addition to crafting, I love baking (cookies and breads are my specialty) and traveling with my husband.  Our bucket-list of places to see is long, but we've tackled so many destinations together through the years and we look forward to more.

Thanks for coming with me on my new journey with Stampin' Up!  I have much to learn but I'm confident in the products they carry and the blessings of connected relationships through crafting and creating.
