Debbie Jenkins
Gnome for the Holidays: Kinetic Christmas Card Class
Although Debbie loved drawing, creating, and even acting and singing as a child and young adult, "adulting" pulled her away for most of her adult life. Working full time and raising her step-children with her husband took up all of her time. So creating was placed on the back burner for over a decade. Debbie rediscovered her love of art after deciding to get organized and refocused with a new planner. It wasn't long until she discovered planner stamps AND YouTube videos showing how to use stamps to create cards. Debbie tumbled down that rabbit hole and hasn't come back since.
