Welcome to my "About Me" page
As the years passed I became interested in decorative painting.
I took some lessons and loved it. I soon put out a painting book of my own. I have done many painting projects for the major painting magazines. I have taught at national conventions as well.
I have a total of 5 books published internationally.
I opened up my own website to sell my books and also patterns that I was doing.
I sold a lot of my handpainted items on ebay and met many wonderful painters there in the process.
After about 5 years of that, scrapbooking caught my attention. I just couldn't figure out what all the excitement was about. So I started investigating this craft. I saw all the little furry animals being made out of paper and decided I wanted to learn how to do that.
While still painting and keeping my website running, I began scrapbooking.
I find it is a very creative industry and one that seems to have no end!
I love making the tear bears and all the other animals you can make using paper.
I am also doing layouts which is a lot harder than it looks. But I am enjoying every minute of it!
This is the only art I have found that is not confining.
If you can make something and put it on a page regardless of what it might be, that is
scrapbooking!! Who knew? Not me, but now I do know and I love the creativeness I have found in scrapbooking and plan to continue in this industry for years to come! that is scrapbooking!
