My Bio

After a career in Retail Merchandising, Banking,Corporate and the Nonprofit world, I decided to go back to my original love of design work. For more than 45 years,I had been affectionately known as “The Crafteelaydee” by my family and friends, so it was only natural for me to continue this name as my professional business identity as well. Now, I was even a Foodie, before Foodies were even popular, I can offer sage advice to the new wife or Mom on how to budget her grocery money, how to make comfort meals and general advice on crafting and household matters. I don't offer miracles, but I can sometimes give you off the wall comments that you would only expect from your Gramma! I am also a contributing Designer to C&T Publishing. My Jewelry and Scrapbook designs have been featured on ArtBeads.com, Tammy Powley’s Original Jewelry Blog, Cool 2 Craft, C&T...
