My journey with stamping, cardmaking & scrapbooking started in October 1996. I was looking for a green and red ink pad and a small holly stamp to liven up some holiday cards I was sending! I wandered into my local stamp store, Lady & the Stamp and met two of the most awesome people - Linda and Karen! They were very helpful and I signed up for a staionery box class to make my Grandma a set of notecards for Christmas. Then in March, 1997 my sister-in-law, Shelly, introduced me to Stampin Up. From the moment I saw the catalog and attended my first party I was hooked and as they say, the rest is history...
I am now hopelessly addicted and passionate about stamping! Over the ensuing years I’ve introduced many others to the wonders of Stampin Up through parties I hosted and now I am demonstrator! I'd love the opportunity to share what I love with you and your friends and family!
I reside in Chesterton, Indiana where I was born & raised. I've been married to my best friend, Jim, for several years; and we share a love for history, gardening in our yard and dogs. We have three wonderful dogs - Sabre 12 YO, Ziva 3 YO and JoDee 1.5 YO; and a cat named Shaquille who is 17 YO! My day job is as a Sourcing Manager Environmental Services with a global steel producer.
