I live in Lancaster County, PA with my husband and 2 wonderful kids.  My son is currently away at college, and I home school my daughter.  When I'm not working with her, you'll most often find me creating!  I love making cards, and occasionally mixed media canvases.  In addition to crafting I love to read and travel.  I'm so happy to be a guest this month at The Card Concept!
