About Me

Hello and welcome—I'm so glad you're here!

I’m a wife, mom, grandmother, and lifelong creator with a passion for memory keeping and handmade art. For 10 wonderful years, I was part of the Close to My Heart (CTMH) community, where I nurtured my love for scrapbooking and storytelling. When CTMH closed its doors, I joined Stampin’ Up! in May 2024—and it’s been an exciting new chapter.

In this past year, I’ve discovered a whole new creative outlet: card making. While I’ll always treasure memory keeping, learning new techniques, experimenting with designs, and sharing cards with others has truly enriched my crafting journey.

Professionally, I also dedicated 32 years as a civilian with the United States Marine Corps—an experience that shaped my values of service, consistency, and hard work.

On the personal side, I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, a devoted pastor, for over 46 years. We have two amazing daughters and three grown grandsons who light up our lives.

Scrapbooking and crafting have been part of my life since 1996, and they continue to bring me joy, purpose, and community. Whether you're here to learn, connect, or just explore, I’m so glad you stopped by!
