Jeanne Jachna

Jeanne

I asked Jeanne to tell us a little about herself.

Hi! I’m Jeanne Jachna. I’m a married, stay at home mom of two teenagers, and one very active Akita puppy. I live in Northwest Indiana near Chicago in the US. I like to read, garden, and cook, but I have been completely captivated by card making. I can’t resist a new set of stamps, bling, big bows and colorful paper. I am obsessed with Waltzingmouse Stamps and love playing along with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge every week. I have been impressed by the talented designers that I’ve been introduced to through Waltzingmouse, and touched by their kindness. I'm delighted and honored to be a Waltzingmouse Mischief Maker.

We are all thrilled to have Jeanne join our merry band of Mischief Makers.  I hope you will stop by her blog – A Kept Life – and congratulate her!
