As a creative person, I have always found myself dabbling in all areas--working with my hands & keeping my eyes open to all of God's beauty that surrounds us. I have discovered my true passion in storytelling and photography. I also enjoy crafts & love all things in nature and tinker in the garden, trying to incorporate planting and crafty ideas into my yard and home .
A child at heart, I love to weave spontaneously created, interactive stories with children in a school or library settings. I started telling stories when my daughter was just a little thing, begging me to read 'one more story'. I grew tired of reading the same old thing over and over, and decided to spin a yarn using her favorite characters. One thing lead to another and I found myself not only telling my daughter stories, but creating my own characters and sharing stories with my daughter's classmates. Then I spread my wings and once I told stories to most of the school, I finally started sharing my stories at the local library with preschoolers.
As a Sunday school substitute helper and teacher at church, I was able to work with children from K-3rd grade. In the past I has been lead teacher, but I have taken a bit of a sabbatical for a number of years. Now I am helping the teachers with crafts.
I am nearly finished editing a science fiction chapter book for 10-15+ year-olds and am hoping to have it to the publisher by October, 2013! I will let you know as soon as it comes off the press (just let me know you're interested)!
My photography originally grew out of a love for nature, wanting to capture everything I saw and keep it for myself. I loved to experiment with whatever camera I had at the time (Swinger, Instamatic, my first SLR, now a digital camera) --and I still do...experiment, that is! I found lugging my camera around to the places I have traveled has been quite rewarding and now I want to share what I has seen with you. I am sure you'll find something you'd like to hang on the wall or perhaps use as your stationery!
...So, go to each of links and check out the different things that I have to offer here. Have fun and I would love to get your feedback on the products and services or website!
My pledge is to create products, whether storybook, storytelling or photograph, that will be satisfactory, or your money back.
