Hi! Michelle Houghton here. I am the wife to an amazing husband and the mother of two beautiful girls in Alaska. I am a busy stay-at-home mom, teaching doodling and Copic classes both on-line and across the US and Canada.
Prior to motherhood, I was a high school art teacher and I love being able to continue sharing my art through card making and scrapbooking techniques. I have been scrapbooking for about 20 years and coloring with Copic markers for the last 15 years. When I first tried Copics I fell in love and received both my Certification and Intermediate Certification. After about 5 years of teaching Copic classes on-line I began teaching live classes including Certification and Workshop weekends. Three years ago I began teaching live weekend events of my own design while running Copic In The Craft Room, on-line Facebook, Pintrest and YouTube sites. Bottom line: I love to teach! Teaching live and on-line has been an amazing adventure!
