Shirley Pando, Independent Scrapbook Instructor!

 

My name is Shirley Pando and I live in beautiful Longwood, Florida, just northwest of Orlando.  I have been married since 1987 and have three teenage boys. 

I have been an Independent Scrapbook Instructor with I Remember When since 2004 and love having my own scrapbook business at home. I have been able to meet many people and share my passion for a love of family and creating lasting memories for the generations to come. I have a great passion for all sorts of paper arts and mixed media.  It is such a joy to create something beautiful that is appreciated and treasured.

When I am not creating something you can probably find me either walking my black lab, Pepper, or at the TaeKwonDo school, among other things, practicing my butterfly kick!! I am very proud of my 3rd Degree Black Belt!!  Not bad for an "over 45" gal, huh?!!
