She is married to her super talented band teacher husband, and has 2 beautiful teenage stepdaughters. Rounding out their crazy little family is a crazy rescue pooch, Kya. She\u2019s been crafting and artsy all her life, but her LOVE for scrapbooking started around 1999. She dabbles in mixed media, loves doodling, calligraphy and anything to do with paper.
