About me
In the Spring of 2008 I discovered my passion (and addiction) for making cards. My (DS) sister, Nancy, introduced me to the papercrafting world and I haven’t looked back since!
I’m VERY proud to have spearheaded the Copics Creations blog … showcasing various Copic Marker (my true love) techniques. I’m privileged to work on this blog with the best Copic marker artists in the business!!
I have three amazing kids ~ Jennifer, living in FL with her FOUR children and husband, Falko (from Germany): Jessica, living in McFarland, WI with her twin daughters and husband, Brian; and Justin, still single, going to school and also living in McFarland, WI. Justin had been in the WISCONSIN NATIONAL GUARD and served in Iraq (You wouldn’t have wanted to know me at that time…)
I have SIX adorable grandkids ~ Justus, Hailee & Jordynn (twins), Anna, Caleb, and Elia!
I’m sure I’ll have lots of info about all of them throughout this card blog! (Just a proud mom & grandma.)
Thanks for stopping in ~ All comments are truly appreciated! Feel free to copy any of my cards, I’d be flattered!

Great Blog! You kindly commented on my, which is how I found yours. It’s not often you run into a Raihala, though DH said he knew there were some Raihalas in Madison. We were there in Sept for the Ironman, which I blogged about then. What an amazing race.
Blessings!
