Here is a picture of my wonderful family. My husband, David and I have been married for 38 years and we are still very much in love. Our son, Will just turned 26 and he is a graduate student at University of California, Santa Barbara working on a Ph.D. in Astrophysics.
I have recently retired as a Science Researcher (Biology and Chemistry) from Stanford University. David, a particle physicist has also retired after 35 years at the Stanford Linear Accelerator. We have moved into our dream house on the northern coast of California in a small community called The Sea Ranch. We are located about 3.5 hours north of San Francisco off of Route 1.
We get to see amazing sunsets daily |
This is the view from our front porch |
One of the rooms of our new house was originally constructed to be a double office but since we are both retired now, I have taken it over as my crafting room. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time designing and creating cards.
I have been an avid scrapbooker for many years and made countless scrapbooks documenting Will’s school years, Jazz Band competitions, sport activities (soccer, badminton, and fencing) and his accomplishments leading to becoming an Eagle Scout in high school. Honestly, after he graduated from high school I was burned out on scrapbooking. During a ladies retreat, some close friends introduced me to card making. It was such a joy to create and complete a beautiful card in 15 to 30 minutes versus the weeks or months to complete a scrapbook! While I was working full time, card making allowed me to relax and use my creative energy. Now that I’ve retired I look forward to spending lots more time creating and sharing homemade cards.
I’ll be using this blog site to post new card designs, share the new Stampin’ Up catalogs, keep you up to date on special sales, and invite you to post your creations. I hope you will visit my site often.
Happy Stamping!
Susan
