As far back as I can remember, I have been collecting and creating. As a child, art
supplies were my greatest joy, paper topping the list. As a teen, all of my
babysitting money was spent on stationery. I didn't even have a pen pal!

I love taking pictures and collecting memories. My favorite subject is my
family...especially my cute kids. My favorite canvas to create on is anything at
hand. Scrapbooking and paper art is where I first turn, but I find it challenging to
create on everyday ordinary items that I find interesting.

My scrapbook pages and altered art have been featured in Creating Keepsakes
Disney Idea Book and Memory Makers magazines. I have enjoyed teaching
scrapbook and journal classes for Premiere Scrapbook Convention and the St.
Louis Scrapbook Tour. I recently had the pleasure of appearing on That's Clever!
on HGTV. I am an instructor and designer at For Keepsakes Scrapbook Store in
St.Louis, Mo. Please contact me for current class listings.

Thanks for visiting.
Stop by often for updates.
