: About Me

I fell in love with writing in the 2nd grade. I was amazed at the freedom I gained through putting my thoughts onto paper. I had my first journal (then called a diary) in the 2nd grade and enjoyed writing my sporadic entries in it. Poetry soon became my favorite during middle school and has remained at the top of my list.

It's not a coincidence that two of my favorite things to do since I was 8 (writing and photography) would come together in the ultimate hobby for me - scrapbooking. I journal on every page and derive great pleasure from teaching scrapbooking and rubber stamping classes to others through my Stampin' Up! Demonstratorship.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I have been a dance teacher for many years, specializing in tap. Tap dance to me is the greatest form of dance because you not only create art and tell a story through your movement, but through sound as well. Sharing my story with others is important to me.

I hope to share my stories with you through this site and in the process, I hope to learn many things from others who are sharing here.
