Shirley Pando, Creative Arts 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/adult boys. 

I was an Independent Scrapbook Instructor from 2004-2008 and loved 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,  I teach online art classes at My Creative Classroom.  There's a great list of new classes coming in September 2009.  Learn something new when you want to and in your p.j.'s! 

Some of my Mixed Media artwork has been published in Somerset Studio Gallery in the Summer 2009, Summer 2010 and the upcoming Winter 2010 issue.  It is truly a dream fulfilled.

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 "old" gal, huh?!!
