Hi there! Where do I begin? Right…….. I’m known as Miss Jane, everyone calls me that and it’s just stuck, I love it! I’ve been making cards now for over 20 years! EEEKKKK I feel old saying that LOL.
I started out in the cardmaking world as a Crafty Kids consultant, doing party plan and teaching classes. I taught my first class to a group of six friends and from then on it grew into teaching six classes a week which were always full, I enjoyed it so much and I made so many wonderful lifetime friends. I opened my own craft shop (in my double-garage) for a few years, I even hired others to teach as well.
In 2004 I was fortunate to land the job as the Technical Editor a popular cardmaking magazine called “Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft’ in Silverwater NSW. I did that for ten years and loved every day of it! I got to meet so many talented cardmakers, whom many have become wonderful friends, I also got to teach around the state as well.
The magazine was sold to another publisher and I then became the Editor, I did that for a year, but unfortunately the magazine closed down and is no longer in production. I miss it terribly.
Oh my personal life LOL…. I’ve been happily married to my wonderful husband Richard for 27 years now, we’ve been going out for 35, we met on a blind date! We have two gorgeous children who aren’t really children anymore, they’re 24 and 21. Three years ago we made the brave decision to move out to the country, I didn’t think we would go so far, but a job opportunity came up to Richard and we took it! So for the past three years we have lived in Moree NSW, a small town of just over 9000? It’s such a beautiful, peaceful, slow paced life! I miss my kids, family and friends, it’s a long drive back, a seven and a half drive, but I do love all the catch ups!
My wonderful husband and I “Taking the waters” at Gurley Hot Springs near our home in Moree NSW. We are truly blessed and thankful to have this life!
Wow you reached the end! Good on you for reading all that rambling! Thanks so much, I do hope I can inspire you in some way, share a few tips and tricks, maybe I’ll be brave and even do some videos?!
Happy creating
Miss Jane
