About the Expert

Donna Fisher has been scrapbooking for over 10 years. She has taught classes for beginners and advanced students alike.

A teacher, with a Master’s Degree in Education, Donna admits to being a hobby-a-holic! She and her husband of 25 years enjoy gardening, admittedly made more difficult by two Alaskan Malamutes and their grand-dog, a collie. Besides scrapbooking, gardening, and training two rambunctious dogs, Donna enjoys making soldered jewelry and writing. She does bemoan the fact that housework is not one of her hobbies, but freely admits that the bemoaning is less and less frequent.
