I'm an art teacher originally from New York State and now retired, living in Florida. For many years I have experimented with several areas of creativity. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed sewing my own clothes and making designer outfits for my dolls.

For several years my husband and I covered arts and entertainment as correspondents for a local newspaper. I enjoyed participating in special events such as the Menendez Birthday Festival, which took place in St. Augustine. For that event I dressed in a 16th century Spanish wardrobe of my own design. I’ve enjoyed the theater arts so much that eventually I tried out and won parts in four local productions.

I worked as a scrapbook instructor and paper crafting teacher for a year at Michaels, where I learned many new techniques and used a lot of great new tools! My art work is for sale locally and has been published in a few magazine. I take part in designing cards for challenges and belong to several design teams. I recently got into trading Rolodex and Memorydex Cards.

I love working with cute images and enjoy putting them in scenes. My go to medium is Copic Markers. I do enjoy trying out new mediums and techniques. Life right now is full and busy designing and coloring for lots of cards.

I love handmade cards and ephemera of all types. Die cuts bits and pieces are fun to get. I love to give and receive these and embossed papers.

I am not into large bulky items. I like to mail items that go thru the mail without problems or extra postage.

I enjoy receiving lovely pieces to add to my growing collection.
