My Online Classes

I teach online!  I have always loved doing tutorials and when my friend Suzanne Dean started her online classroom, Color Me Creative, and asked if I wanted to teach I jumped at the chance!  Here is a list of classes I offer over there - just click on them to get to the registration page!
