About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Publishing
Location	SPRINGFIELD, Missouri, United States
Introduction	I've worked as a graphic artist for several advertising agencies, as a consultant and technical trainer in graphic arts as it relates to printing and image, worked as an Instructional Designer for Oracle, as a Marketing Director for a semiconductor company, owned my own graphic arts training and freelance technical support business, and now I have been working in the crafting industry for the past four years. I teach scrapbook classes, digital photo correction and digital scrapbooking (Photoshop Elements on PC), design paper crafting projects incorporating stamping and mixed media, and now I create stamp designs for the Timeless Treasures and Clearly Christian stamps lines at Clear Dollar Stamps. I teach paper craft classes at our two local Hobby Lobby stores, at crops, shows and in my home studio. Recently, I had the privilege of getting Copic Marker Certification. The rest of my life I spend trying to keep track of my five cats and the DH. My Himalayan/long hair menagerie includes Maki (Macciato), Pewter, Mr. Sniffy, Kahlua, and Pumpkin. God has also blessed me with a wonderful DH who loves me and takes care of me when I need it.

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?
