Dianne used to have other hobbies. She used to include counted cross-stitch, sewing, decorating and cooking among her hobbies, but now she is unwavering in her devotion to scrapbooking! And it shows in her amazing talent! This St. Petersburg native originally earned her teaching degree from the University of South Florida, but soon after graduation decided that teaching wasn’t what she wanted to do. Currently, Dianne is working full-time as an assistant to a Family Court judge. But before you ask - she cannot fix any parking tickets!

She and Bob, her husband of 32 years, still make time for fun! Since Bob worked for the St. Petersburg Times for 20 years as the travel editor, they got to enjoy seeing many beautiful sights together. Along with wonderful travel photos, Dianne also has some other ‘scrapbooking subjects’ in her two handsome sons, Michael and Ryan, both into graphic design, as well as her two cats, Scottie and ZuZu, both into being cats!

Dianne has been a shopper at The Doodle since scrapbooking has taken over her life, her bedroom and all her money! Once her incredible talent was discovered, Dianne fast became a valued member of the Doodle Design Team. Not only does she create beautiful projects and layouts, but she finishes them in record time! In fact, she can often be heard asking Jen when she can get her hands on the next project!

When asked where she finds the time to scrapbook she states simply, “It’s easy…I don’t clean my house!” Her motto? Life is short - eat dessert and scrapbook!
