Hi, my name is Jennifer Lee.  I love scrapbooking, making artist trading cards and altering anything.  My favorite thing to do is be creative.  I love getting inspired by other artists.  During the school year I teach art full-time.  I live in Orange with my husband Preston, our kids, Emma and Henry and our dog, Jack and lizard, Alidar.  Can't wait to get creative with you!

Jessica has always been interested in scrapbooking –  she just didn’t know it! From her first Fisher-Price camera (that really worked!) given to her on her 7th Christmas, to the short stories she wrote through elementary school, Jessica was putting the pieces of her scrapbooking foundation together for future use. Introduced to Creative Memories at a Yuma, Ariz., workshop in 1998, Jessica immediately jumped into the scrapbook craze with both feet. After discovering the three-dimensional embellishments that were hitting the market, Jessica branched out from her original style and began seeking out the latest products, styles and techniques. Today, Jessica scrapbooks about 10 hours a week, attending crops, conventions and workshops regularly and teaching. She loves sharing the hobby with others – and turning hobbyists into addicted enthusiasts! Jessica is an Orange County, Calif., native and is wife to U.S. Marine Rodney, mother to two boys, Will, 5 and Xan, 1, and owner to three boxer dogs, Slade, Marble and Ripley.

      Knitting and crocheting have been my most favorite crafts to do since I was about 10 years old. I am mostly self taught challenging myself to learn more and master almost every technique that can be done. For many years I have belonged to the Knitting Guild Association which enabled me to join a guild, attend conventions and workshops and meet many other knitters and crocheters. Since 2001 I have been teaching knitting and crochet at Michaels. When the Red Bee opened I joined the Friday night knitting group.   I enjoy helping others along with teaching and watching the excitement on the faces of people when it all comes together.

       In my classes I can teach beginners to knit and crochet. If someone needs help with a project I am glad to give assistance. There have been ladies who had done the crafts at a younger age wanting to return to it and forgetting how to do it, therefore it is more of a refresher course at which it clicks pretty quickly. When a customer came in with a project on which they were stuck or couldn’t read the pattern, I offered help also.

"Learn a pastime for a life time" 

A folk artist and needle crafter for over 50 years, Martha teaches knitting, crochet and Webkinz Outfitters workshops.  She endeavors to share her enthusiasm for these art forms and the life-long benefits of engineering your own creativity as a medium for life learning.  Crafting is a powerful means of creating community while fostering an environment of enjoyment and relaxation. Fascinated by the influence of traditional crafting modes, lifestyle, available media, effects of sun exposure and climate on use of color and design, she has a life-long interest in the history of folk art forms that are uniquely American.  This interest has found expression in clothing and theater costume design and research, design and sale of folk and needle crafts in boutiques, in development of curricula, teaching, as well as organizing, coordinating and promoting arts and craft workshops and events for children, teens and adults. She offers basic to advanced instruction with emphasis on fun, skills and self-confidence building, sharing our ideas, successes and problem solving techniques.

“The results of your efforts in the needlecraft and regional folk arts---your color, fiber and design---are unique expressions of your environment and creativity and make you one of the architects of your local culture.”---Martha J.

Young Rembrandts Children's Drawing Program combines a unique step-by-step method of teaching children how to draw while instilling life-long skills that lead to a child's overall personal success. Drawing is a learnable skill, therefore, each child, especially those with an interest in art, deserves the chance to be taught, just as they would be taught to read, write, add or subtract.
