My husband Steve and I are the proud parents of two grown sons and a cherished daughter-in-law. (Oh, and a handful of cats!) We are lifelong residents of Wichita, KS, living between two rivers near the city center and enjoying all the benefits of being close to parks, theatre, several museums, and the botanical gardens. I love to read and often lose a lot of sleep in the attempt to find out what happens next. I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator after receiving a windfall of papercrafting materials -I mean bushel baskets full- and discovering that I loved playing with them! I had never had a creative hobby, other that what I did for my kids during my elementary teaching career. I found that Stampin' Up! gave me the connection to others that I had missed upon retiring. I love teaching so this was a natural fit for me. I have made truly wonderful friendships with other demonstrators and especially my amazing customers. I love what I do!
