Creating With Collette: Create 3D Paper Snowflakes

I am an outgoing mom of three beautiful children ages 6, 8, and 10 years old. I offer classes to kids of all ages who want to create. This could be in the kitchen, garage, sewing machines or even around an instrument! I have been teaching and working with kids for 14 years. I have a Bachelors in Communications, Minor in Music, a Masters Degree in Business Administration, and lots of life skills to offer my students. My husband and I own a remodeling business. I have always been taught you can do anything you put your mind to! My three beautiful children help inspire me and help me to become the best me I can be! I want to inspire other kids to have the same outlook and try new things! Learning is a life long mission, starting young helps give your kids confidence and skills for success! I incorporate worksheets, class participation and sometimes games in class to make learning fun. 

A little more about my background, I have been cooking and baking for 22 yrs. My experience started when I created my own business in High School called “Lady Collette’s” and sold baked goods such as my famous Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake. I have taught preschool and elementary school aged children how to cook and bake, the science behind it and how to have fun in the kitchen! I have catered many small parties with appetizers, main course dishes and desserts; including working on the dude ranch in Bryce Canyon, UT. I have three kids myself and I have been teaching them to prepare and fix food for themselves so they can feel confidence and independence. This is a huge life skill we all should master to set them up for success in the future! 

I have had a passion for design and crafting for over 22 years. I have had my own Etsy business creating many house hold decorations; such as pallet wood picture frames, wooden boxes, wooden decorative arrows, felt wreaths, and bedding and more. I also have my own business with my husband, called BC Projects. Our business offers demolition, design and remodeling of kitchens, bathrooms and other living spaces. Our projects vary for each client; such as bringing a modern farmhouse flair to a home to giving the client their dream bathroom. I love building, design and putting beautiful finishing touches on each project we complete. 

I am also a professional singer and have had a huge passion for music my whole life. I have been hired to perform at charity events, conventions, and at the Mesa, AZ Fourth of July Show. At the Fourth of July show I sang the Star-Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs in front of 30,000 people three years in a row.
