Leavenworth has been my home for 24 years. I came here to open The Gingerbread Factory, which I enjoyed until selling it to raise my family. My creativity has taken many forms beyond the Bachelor of Fine Arts I earned in college; gingerbread and cakes, graphic design and photography, quilting, cooking, drawing and some painting. I love to work with recyclables, making something useful or fun out of throw-a-ways. I enjoyed hosting a few ‘Doll Camps’ with my daughter for girls to explore making little clothes and furniture out of collected materials.
