Creating Printable Products Has Been In My Life For A Long Time
My brother-in-law worked for newspapers back in the day when typesetting was literally arranging the metal letters by hand to create articles that would be used to print the newspapers. I spent a lot of time with him in those noisy, inky buildings and I became fascinated with the process of printing and sharing information.
As an adult, I became an elementary educator for 16 years, and making worksheets, activities, and games for my students was one of my favorite parts of my job. Then when I became a grandmother and CoVid hit I wanted some way to stay in touch with my grandchildren. So, I created games, crafts, and activities that we could do together on FaceTime or Zoom. I'd email them the worksheets, craft patterns, game pieces, and activity instructions and we'd spend time together in cyberspace.
Also, for holidays I almost always invent a game for the family that includes a printable of some kind.
Then, when my husband got laid off recently, and since we're also facing retirement, I decided to try to turn my love of making printables into a stream of income.
While a lot of my work is geared toward children, I often make printables for people at their jobs or for their homes.
The world of printables is a creative place that I enjoy swimming around in.
