About Me
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I am excited to share my passion for stamping, cardmaking, and scrapbooking with you.

I started scrapbooking in the early 1990s when I had kids. I really enjoyed the creativity and artistry of scrapbooking, and the fact that I would have something documenting my memories.
I went to my first Stampin’ Up! party in 2001. I fell completely in love with stamping and immediately signed up as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. At first I thought I would use my demonstratorship to get a discount on my own long wish list, but it did not take long before I was teaching classes and selling crafts as well. I wanted to spread the joy of stamping and creating to others.
I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator! It’s so much fun and I absolutely love cardmaking, scrapbooking, being a demonstrator, and teaching stamping and papercrafting. I cherish the meaningful relationships I have made both with customers and with other demonstrators. Most of all, I treasure the happiness my creations bring to others. There is nothing quite like receiving a hand-made card made specially for you. We can all use a little extra happiness and love!
I look forward to helping you in any way I can. Please reach out to me and let me help you!
Facts About Me
- I am a practicing attorney with my own law firm.
- I love travelling and travel as much as I can. I always say, if it’s a place on Earth, I want to go there. My favorite part of travelling is seeing new cultures. I am particularly entranced by the natural world on my travels.

- I play in Scrabble tournaments. Did you even know there was such a thing? I am rated and ranked, and have even played in the Scrabble Players Championship, which attracts all the top players from around the world to compete in the English language championship.
- I value being active. I particularly enjoy playing tennis, hiking (particularly on trips), and yoga.
- I have a wonderful husband of more than 30 years(!) and three grown children who have incredible lives on their own. I did a lot of stamping with my kids while they were growing up. My everyday dinner plates include plates that we stamped on and had fired in a kiln. I wrote on the bottom of each plate who made each plate and the date. People comment on them all the time.
My Favorite Travel Memories
People always ask me what are my favorite places I have traveled to. I say I don’t have favorite places, but I have favorite memories from my travels. It’s so hard to choose, but here are some:
- Tobogganing down the Great Wall of China.
- Watching the Northern Lights. I was lucky to catch them in Iceland with my daughter in 2018, and nearby my house in 2024, but the absolute best display was in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan with my youngest, his then-fiance, and her parents, also in 2024. We spent two hours on the beach watching the gorgeous display visible to the naked eye.
- Watching the Perseid meteor display in Yosemite National Park. Meteors shot across the sky horizon to horizon, a couple every minute, for more than an hour. We lay on blankets on top of Glacier Point watching the display and chasing away a bear.
- Going on safari in Kenya. We spent five days going on two safaris per day. We got to see the Big Five, including the elusive rhinosaraus. We also were lucky to see the Great Wildebeast Migration on this safari.
- Spending a holy day at one of the most holy temples in Bali, Indonesia. We participated in their ceremonies in the holy water washing away our sins. It was very spiritual!
- Wine tasting in South Africa, in the Winelands near Capetown. There is a wine tram that you take from vineyard to vineyard. We visited vineyards from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, then joined our AirBnb hosts on their porch for more wine, cheese and laugher.
