While we all celebrated the New Year in January, for me, it’s September—Labor Day
weekend, because 18 years ago, I opened the doors to the Paper Garden on this holi-
day. It wouldn’t be fair for me to not include my cousins as the big reason I’m still open
today even after COVID, and moving our boutique two times. My family has stuck by
me thick and thin. In fact, if you think I post and write clever captions on Facebook and
Instagram, it’s not me, my ghost writer is my cousin Christel. She likes to be behind the
scenes, Laurie is my cheerleader when she’s winning on the pickleball court, my mom
and aunt help me package, and everyday I thank my lucky stars for Kelley in my life as
she holds the Paper Garden together when I am gone, on vacation and even when I’m at
the store! And yes, my husband Ken who is not only understanding about my late night hours, but also embraces the creativity the
Paper Garden displays and creates because he helps us too!
On another note, my son Miles will head back to Boston College as a rising sophomore in August. How lucky I am to be the
mom of the most perfect son (wink, wink!).
Please join us as we celebrate being an ADULT as the Paper Garden turn 18, with fun free make and takes and prizes too.
ank you again for being a wonderful customer. I truly appreciate you being a part of our fun crafting journey.
A little tid bit about me…
Have you ever been star-struck? Being a reporter in Kansas City, we interview professional baseball and football players all the
time. I never got starstruck. But then, my producer told me, Stephanie, get ready to interview Hanson, the band of three broth-
ers from Oklahoma. ey will do a free concert in the parking lot of our local mall.. and you get to do the story… I screamed like
young teen at Coachella. I said.. omigosh.. I loooooove that song MmmmBop! When it was my turn for a one on one interview,
my hands got sweaty and I carried my CD with my pen in hand… and mumbled.. may I have your autograph? Of course, they did
sign my CD and said, what is your other favorite song besides MmmmBop! I said… oh uhhhhhhhhhhh… hahahaha…it’s the only
song I listen too, so they signed it… To our favorite reporter Stephanie, from the only song you know we sing MmmmBop! Yes, I
still have that CD today! If only I could’ve said, hey may I braid your hair?
