: About Me

I've been married 15 years and I'm the mother of 4 wonderful boys (most of the time) ranging from ages 2- 13. I grew up in a smaller town in norther Utah where I currently live. Both of my parents owned their own buisnesses and I grew up helping them out. I earned an associates of Arts from Snow Colllege majoring in in Art and Creative writing.

I spent the last 13 years running a business with my husband designing kitchen cabinets for by Dad's cabinet shop. It was a great way to use my artistic talents. I still enjoy doing this in my spare time.

3 years ago I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. This is by far my favorite job. I love creating new things and teaching others how they can create things themselves. I love the income I can earn doing something I love and the friendships that I have developed.

I'm now a stay at home mom and love being able to work from home. Writing is just another one of my passions. I also love to go camping with my family. I'm learning a lot about sports having four boys and enjoy going to games. I love to read books and to create things with my hands. I also love to be on the computer and to create blogs. Anything that gets the creative juices flowing. I also love to travel. I've had the opportunity to visit many wonderful places and hope that I will be able to visit many more. I love to go to the theater and preform when I can. I'm no professional, but I love the feeling when I can be on stage.

I'm always looking for ways to grow. Reading and writing are just another ways to help make that happen.

I needed all the help I could get. Finally I discovered a few helpful tips. Added with a little bit of practice I soon started to develop my skill.
