What People Are Saying:

I love your workshops. Your mixed-media style really appeals to me. Your instructions and handouts are always so clear and helpful, and I enjoy the chatter. I still have one (the mini map one) to enjoy. I frequently use the pop-up cottage one and the teeny typewriters, which both make for amazing greeting cards.
