From now on when I hear the word creativity, I'll think of Kelley Lohr.  In her fascinating presentation last evening, Kelley talked about her artistic journey, nurtured first by her parents and now supported by her husband, that has resulted in her being hired to create entire lines of artistic items for manufacturers.  She loves to share her passion, which was readily apparent as she spoke, and she teaches workshops locally.  For more information, visit Kelley's Let's Bee Crafty Blog.  You may contact Kelley by email at beeingcrafty@gmail.com, or by phone at 330-329-9539.
