About Me

EDUCATOR, PAPER CRAFTER, DOG LOVER

Thanks for visiting my blog! I am a retired physician and an "artist wanna-be" who took up card making, paper crafting and dabbling in other artistic media a few years ago. I love making beautiful and unique cards, because they make me happy, and my hope is that whoever receives them will smile when they open the card.

I'm very excited to have completed the Altenew Education Certification Program and enjoy blog hops for their new releases. I am also a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I'm looking forward to hosting workshops in person and online very soon! I hope you will enjoy seeing my latest projects.

If you are in the Northeast Ohio area and you'd like to purchase my cards, they can be found at:

Our Favorite Things Boutique, 12730 Larchmere Blvd, Cleveland, OH
Mac'sBacks Books on Coventry,1820 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights, OH
The Corner at Van Aken District, 3401 Tuttle Road, Shaker Heights, OH. (I'll be there in May with Mother's Day, Graduation, Wedding and other cards)
