Hi. I’m Debbie Hodge. I’ve run online businesses since 2007, creating and selling over 100 creative and technical courses at Get It Scrapped and TeachWhatYouDo — and now I also have an ecommerce biz at StitchedStories.com. I’ve been in love with “explaining things” since my first extra-credit report in elementary school. Mix that with my passion for creative endeavors (writing, photography, scrapbooking, web design) plus an MBA, and it makes perfect sense that online teaching and course design is my perfect gig–especially since this work has enabled me to work from home and raise two boys up into tall, bearded

men.
