Jean
I have been interested in crafts all my life and trained as a primary school teacher with my special subject needlecraft. I took up beading about 10 years ago after my best friend got me interested. I am a member of the Bead Workers Guild and the Bead Society and belong to the Ermine Street Beaders in Peterborough.

Kay

I started card making and scrapbooking about six years ago, and have won a few competitions and also had a number of my cards printed in card making magazines. I began holding workshops from 2008 for WI groups as well as private parties. I enjoy encouraging new and beginner crafters to develop card making/scrapbooking skills.
