I worked for over 30 years in IT, most of that time I was part of the web team for a large company. It was a very creative, fun career which kept me grounded in the arts. I began making cards around the time I started working in IT and though over the years my creativity spanned from web design to jewelry crafting to garment design, I've always kept my connection to card making.

After a serious spine injury, which I did recover from thank goodness, I retired so we could slow travel the US in our RV. We sold our home and everything in it, storing what we wanted to keep at our parents. We thoroughly enjoyed our travels and I had plenty of room in our small fifth wheel to store my paper crafting supplies. In fact, I became a demonstrator soon after we hit the road. I enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to make demonstrator life work in a 32 foot trailer. I am 100% online and have over 650 videos on youtube that focus on RVing and card making.

After 7 years of full time travel, we decided to relocate to the east coast having lived most of our lives in the Pacific Northwest. We found our "forever" home in Titusville, Florida. It is a small home with an RV port in an RV resort & nature preserver called The Great Outdoors. It has all the activities and amenities of a high end rv resort. We've grown fond of the permanent vacation vibe of the RV lifestyle.
