 started making cards in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the craft. I be
 gan taking classes in Arizona when my husband and I were traveling south i
 n the winter. I looked for classes in Central Oregon when my husband passe
 d away but couldn&rsquo\;t find any in the area. I finally discovered some
  online classes\, which I take and\, in turn\, love to pass on what I lear
 n to others. Additionally\, I get together with a few friends every couple
  of weeks to make cards and teach classes."</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;~</p>\n<p><stro
