So I’ve started a blog . . .

Hello, friends!  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little space on the internet.  Many of you may know that I have been crafting for several years - making Christmas ornaments, decorations, and gifts for friends children.  I started paper crafting during the Covid pandemic and have been focusing more on creating cards.  Crafting for me is like therapy.  I spend my daylight hours living in spreadsheets, creating financial models, and things like that.  It can be stressful at times and doesn’t allow me to be very creative.  That’s where crafting comes in - it’s my escape . . . my time to design & create.  A happy companion to being therapeutic is that it also allows me to create cards to share with friends.  It makes me happy to give someone a card and see them smile.

I have been on the design team for Wishbone Stamps since September 2022 and have truly been enjoying it.  I’m now starting another chapter in my crafting journey.  I have been accepted into the Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP)!  I’ll be completing 20 courses and creating several projects to become certified.  This certification work will help me learn new techniques, improve my skills, and open up opportunities to teach.  I really like the products from AlteNew and am truly excited to start this journey!

This blog will allow me to share the projects that I create in the program with more detail than a social media post.  Blogging is something that I have been toying with for a while, and now I have the push that I needed to start!

I hope that you’ll consider joining me on this creative journey by reading my posts, perhaps interacting with them, and asking me questions.  I appreciate all feedback that you share with me.  Perhaps you’ll even choose to subscribe?  I thank you for any and all support!

Crafty posts will start as I go work through the courses.  More to come!
