My Resume

Get to know me: Hi my name is Leica (pronounced Lisa) I am 32yrs old, married for 9 years to Jim (love this man!!!) and we have 2 wonderful busy boys; Riley 5 1/2 & Jager  4, and baby girl Ireland 16months old. 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 contributing editor with Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. I write articles and do design work with them as well.

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!
