Surprise--it's me, Julie! *grin* Today I have the great pleasure of announcing one of our newest A Muse Instructors to all of you: Geeta Suggs
Geeta and her family live down Texas way, and we're so excited to have her teaching classes for retail stores in the Central Texas area! I think you can already tell from the brilliant smile in this photo that Geeta has a bubbly and enthusiastic personality, as well as a fun sense of humor! We asked her to share a bit about herself and how she became interested in stamping:
My name is Geeta. I live in Austin (Hook ‘em Horns!) and am married to my best friend. We met in college at UT and received our Engineering degrees together. We have 2 awesome, funny and very sweet boys, age 5 (starts Kindergarten in 2 weeks!) and 17 months.
At age 11, I moved to Texas from Canada. When I left my childhood best friend in Canada, my dad told me that I could write to her as much as I wanted. He took me to the local office supply/stationery store all the time, to get supplies. This was the beginning of my love for paper.
As an adult, I scrap booked a lot, then I found stamping and card making, and, as they say, the rest is history. I left my job as a Software Engineer, when I was pregnant with my first son. But the engineer within me lives on in everything I do! I have always liked the simple and elegant look, although at times I get bogged down with adding too much to my work. I found A Muse earlier this year and felt a pull towards their simple approach. I participated in the A*Muse*A*Palooza contest and was hooked! Now, I love A Muse and can’t wait to share it with others. Every A Muse design that I have seen makes me smile. It’s just a happy thing!
You can view more of Geeta's designs, and learn about her class schedule, by visiting her blog, Crafty Engineer.
