Farmington Public Schools

Leonilda has been a public teacher for over 40 years but her free time has always gone to crafting and art. She started with charcoal, pastels, and acrylics before moving on to photography and paper crafts. She has stayed with this genre for the past two decades. Leonilda developed life-books (an album developed from photos and paper designs documenting life as it goes from birth to beyond) for each of her daughters. She also makes all occasion cards to send to family and friends to remind them they are loved.

Leonilda has learned so much more about this FABULOUS craft, and her love of this hobby has led her to become a part-time advisor for Creative Memories, helping clients create both scrapbooks and cards. Leonilda is excited to share her knowledge as they are both forms of creative expression and a photo-legacy of one's journey in life.
