good friends layout Click image to enlarge Designer: Donna Salazar http://donnasalazar.typepad.com I am extremely proud of the fact that I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, that we have been together over 20 years and that we are able to keep each other sane while raising two teenagers. I love to inspire others to find their “artistic voice”. My mom “made” me take art my freshman year in high school and I quickly realized that something that I thought was nerdy… could satisfy my soul. After school I ended up spending several years working in a corporate job that was “non-artsy”. It took a serious car accident to convince me to return to my passion for art. I’ve learned that sometimes we need to be nudged into trying something that we aren’t used to and in the process we may find that “different” is a very good thing. There are many things that I love about Fiskars. I love the people above all else; I have made some great friends through the Fiskateer program. I LOVE that Fiskars has created a community where people can come together to share their love of crafting. I love the tools; the quality of the Fiskars tools is second to none and because I believe in these tools, I am proud to be able to promote them to others. I love the scrapbook products; I am impressed with the wide range of product offered by Fiskars. Having so much to choose from makes it easy to come up with quality pages. Difficulty rating
