After teaching kindergarten for 30 years, Barbara and her husband adopted a severely handicapped infant, Ella. This new addition required Barbara to stay at home. She still wanted a creative outlet, so she began making cards. Each of her cards is hand designed using various papers, wine labels, ribbons, images, and charms. No two cards will ever be exactly alike since she puts different pieces into each design. She loves to have this outlet that allows her to create and still be home with her special angel.

Barbara donates a portion of her proceeds to the Makenzie Grace Foundation. This foundation is near and dear to her heart as they help medically challenged children and their families.

"Thank you for supporting my endeavors as an artist. I hope that each piece brings happiness and joy into the lives that they touch."
