Hello,

My name is Diane Gardner. I live in Hendersonville, NC which is in the mountains of Western North Carolina near Asheville. I have lived here for 42 years. My husband of 54 years and I have three beautiful daughters. Combined they have given us 5 amazing grandchildren – 3 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. They call me Dee Dee hence the name of my blog.

My oldest daughter took me to my first stamping class in 2003. Once I retired from teaching in 2007, stamping became my passion. In November of 2010 I decided to join the Stampin’ Up! Family. My neighbors and friends asked if I would consider teaching some classes so they too could learn to make beautiful cards. Now 13 years later, I am still holding classes. I consider myself very lucky to have met so many amazing people who share my love of stamping. Many of them have become close special friends.

I love teaching paper crafting and meeting new people. Please contact me if you are interested in scheduling a workshop, attending one of my classes or just having a fun Girl’s Night Out.
