I have been married for 26 years to my wonderful husband and have two
    children, a boy, 20, beginning his junior year in college this fall, and a girl,
    15, who will be a sophomore in high school. I am originally from Northern
    Arizona, but currently live in Nebraska in corn country!
    We have two dogs (one a brand new, rambunctious puppy!) and a water
    turtle.

    I first began stamping way back in 1992, when I found a couple of fun
    images at an office store in Arizona.  After moving to Nebraska and
discovering a lack of craft stores, I heard about Stampin' Up! and immediately signed up to be a
demonstrator, just so I would have access to supplies!  I didn't stamp a lot, until I found SCS in
2004.  Now I have a gallery there,
StampingQueenJAR, and a blog, Joy in a Jar.

When I am not stamping, I am a part-time elementary music teacher in my 28th year of teaching,
and direct the music activities at my church.  Occasionally I will throw in a community theater
show as well.  

I am honored to be working with such a great company with high ideals and standards, and with
such beautiful and God-centered designs.  I am also thrilled and humbled to be in the company of
such a fantastic and creative group of stampers!  Thank you, Kelley, for asking me!  I am looking
forward to designing with joy!
