I love taking pictures! I have over 29,000 digital pictures on my computer, and have printed off maybe 100 of them. I guess you can say I'm a little behind on my scrapbooking. I just love taking pictures of our 3 boys. I've been so blessed to have such an amazing husband and family who support me. I joke my husband that he knows more about scrapbooking than I do, but he won't admit it if you ask. :) I grew up in Las Vegas and went to school at BYU where I received my Elementary Education degree. I love children, which is apparant in Piggy Tales' fun, fairy tale themed products. I enjoy designing products for Piggy Tales, but most of all, I love to see what other people create with our products. I can't believe how talented people are and I love to be a part of this wonderful industry where I can rub heads with so many talented people!

Piggy Tales is a great company and finally provides me an opportunity to boss two of my sisters around, although unlike when we were kids now they get paid for it. Actually, it is so fun having us all work for Piggy Tales!!
I received my bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and a J.D from the University of Iowa College of Law. A few weeks into law school I realized I probably did not have a long term future in the profession, so I enrolled in several MBA classes. Following graduation from law school I worked for a large corporate law firm and began laying the groundwork for several entrepreneurial undertakings.
Now, I work for my wife at PT (I guess my sisters get the last laugh), and I am also a partner in a commercial land development firm, and a partner in a company that supplies heavy construction materials. I love the paper craft industry. I have used my professional education to provide editorial content to several leading publications in the industry. I want to do all I can to help our industry partners grow and succeed together.

I am a wife and a mother from a small Southeast Missouri town on the Mississippi! I taught 3rd grade before landing my dream job of being the mother of 2 absolutely amazing children AND having the opportunity to work for Piggy Tales! It is like having my cake....and eating it too! Oh, and did I mention the "icing on the cake", which, by the way, is the best part--of the cake AND the job!). I am able to utilize my professional background to travel around the country and teach for Piggy Tales at different venues, such as Creating Keepsakes Conventions, CHA, Creating Keepsakes University and a variety of Expos. I absolutely LOVE getting to know, and be inspired by, all of the AWESOME new friends that I meet from around the world! It is so cool knowing that no matter where we are, or where we are from, we share the same passion for this hobby we call scrapbooking!!

Hello! First I have to say that I am so very impressed with my Brother (Ryann) and Sister-in-law (Debbie), the clean lines and colors of Piggy Tales make me so happy to look at and make me want to scrap! I love working with this company and all of the "perks" like playing with all of the "new" stuff and getting to travel and meeting so many wonderful Scrapbookers. Until Piggy Tales went crazy, I was strictly a stay at home mommy to Madelyn and Max. My Children are so busy and fun, which gives me plenty to scrap about. When I am not spending time with my kids and husband or Piggy Tales, I love scrapbooking, although, lately I have been referring to myself as a scrapbook collector, instead of an actual scrapper. As I teach classes, I keep telling myself that I can use these layouts to get "caught up" on my own Scrapbooking! (not working out so well.) I love this craft/industry and can not wait to see all of the fun and innovated product that Ryann and Debbie will come up with next.
