Get to know me: Hi my name is Leica (pronounced Lisa) I am 34yrs old, married for almost 11 years to Jim (love this man!!!) and we have 2 wonderful busy boys; Riley 7 & Jager 5, and baby girl Ireland almost 3. I am now a self employed SAHM. I love working from home. I scrapbook because our memories are treasures that I want to keep exploring. I never want to forget the moments that have shaped who we are, the good and the bad. To understand our past is how to live a better, more exciting future.
I currently am a Special Events coordinator with Scrapbook & Cards Today- Canada's Leading Scrapbook Magazine. I will be coordinating the Crop & Create events all across Canada.

My Mission Statement: I work hard, I never stop learning. I am a scrapbook educator that travels the world meeting awesome people sharing my passion & would love to design my own lines in the future. I complete all tasks to the fullest, and I don't stop until I am satisfied. I am loyal. My formal training is a teacher with a specialty in Art & Special Needs. I exert patience and determination. I am able to teach to large class sizes and have done on stage work, I am comfortable public speaking in front of crowds. I hope to one day work with YOU!
