I am an accomplished pianist and singer, and also love scrapbooking and other paper-crafts. I use these talents to the glory of our Father, by being the Founder of an online website called "ChristianCrafters," for scrapbookers who are also women of faith, and I lead praise and worship time for a group at my church. I've been writing for my own enjoyment for as long as I can remember, but my first submission to ChristianMagazine.org was my very first professional journalistic effort!
