About Jen

Hi, I’m Jen! A small-town deaf girl with a big passion for chatting & crafting! Here on this blog, I’ll be sharing all about card-making and scrapbooking.  I’ve got something for everyone! All vlogs on Facebook and YouTube are in ASL, so no one is left behind. You will always see ASL (America Sign Language) because it is my language.  Also,  I usually mute my videos because of my two boxer dogs that are LOUD.

So onto the introduction; I’m a stay at home mom and nana. I also am a veteran wife and mom.  My husband and oldest son served in the United States Air Forces. I have been married to Jeff for 28 + years, we have 3 boys together, age 27, 23 and 21 We are grandparents to 8 years old and 6 years old grandsons and 2 year old granddaughter. We also have 2 daughter in laws that we adore! Now, we have 2 boxers, Dozer who is a fawn color and is 9 years old and Diesel who is a white color and is 3 years old.  At times, you will see the dogs during some videos or lives. They’re crazy! 😀

I have been into craft since 2002.  I love to do home decor, scrapbook, make cards and decorate the planners as well!  I have been with several different direct sales company such as Close to my Heart, Leavin’ Prints, and Stampin’ Up.  

I discovered Chalk Couture through my sponsor, Mandy Leahy – team leader of Glam Chalkers, in 2018.  I came back in full circle in 2020 and have been with them since then.   I am currently Independent Designer & Couturier for Chalk Couture.  I am team leader for ASL Messy Chalkers where we have 185 + designers all over the USA and Canada.  There are a wide range of business and hobbyist designers.

I have been with Stampin’ Up! on and off since 2008, but came back to Stampin’ Up! in 2024 when Close to my Heart has ceased their operations due to the CEO’s declining health.  Stampin’ Up! has taken on the Makers from Close to my Heart and is also providing brand new scrapbooking line to be completed in May of 2025! I am SO EXCITED about that!  

As for the photos, one of them is the family photo from our middle son, Duncan’s wedding.  Grandma Leta is 100 years old in that photos! YES, 100 years old!!! 

You can always find all of us at our local favorite Mexican restaurant, Casa Romero every Friday night from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.  Yes, EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT.  Grandma has been going to the restaurant ever since it opened up almost 20 years ago and we have taken over Jeff”s parents spots who passed away tragically from a fatal motorcycle accident vs a drunk driver in September 2013.

I’d be happy to chat with you and answer any questions you have!  Until then!
