I live in a suburb of Chicago in  the USA.  I have always lived in the area and moved back to my childhood home 10 years ago to help care for my mom. We share our home with our boxer Krew.

I've been married to my high school sweetheart, Dave, for over 47 years.  We have 4 children, 3 sons, and 1 daughter who have blessed us with 6 grandchildren.

I began crafting at a very young age, dabbling in just about everything you can imagine. I began paper crafting at the age of 5 when I made paper dresses for my dolls and stuffed animals. 

 I enjoy have found such joy in building relationships through showing others that they, too, can be creative. Whether you are just beginning, or a seasoned paper crafter, I'd like to welcome you to my HapBEE Stamping Studio where I hope to inspire you in your everyday stamping and papercrafting.
