ABOUT THE WEBMASTER

 

Several years after our mother’s death, my sister Helen and I decided to go into the craft business, creating dolls modeled after various family members. The name "Echo's Memory Lane" represents our desire to honor her memory as well as serve as a reminder that how we live our lives affects the generations to follow. The profile on the logo was chosen to represent her own profile, which she often sketched in the upper right corner of her letters.

As our family and career obligations grew, the craft business was temporarily shelved. Some years later, Helen retired from her full-time career and resumed crafting. She is now devoting her time to running 'Grandma's taxi service' and creating clothes for 18” dolls (American Girl and others), and making felt name wall hangings. Check out my "sister site" at www.echoskidz.com. 

I have been a part-time consultant for an international scrapbooking company for 8 years, and have created over 50 keepsake photo albums chronicling the lives of myself,  my kids and grandkids, as well as my personal interests.  Since retiring from my own full time career, I’ve resumed my interest in crafting, and now make dog apparel as well as apparel and accessories for Webkinz.
