From my early years of helping children in community programs to my career in teaching, I have always had a heart for teaching. My love of art and nature inspired me to become an artist and photographer as well. My three children grew up helping me prepare projects for art shows and exhibits. They too found their own way of expressing themselves. Even after retirement I continue to share my skills with others. Stampin Up has not only been a source of exceptional products but has also given me a community where I can share my skills and continue to learn. My students have become a family of all ages and talents; we beleive in lifelong learning!
