About Me

Charlene Ricketts

In 2009 I was introduced to CTMH by a friend who wanted me to go with her to a workshop as they had acrylic stamps- especially alphabets. I ended up falling in love with the company and the products. I became a consultant in order to share them with my friends and also buy my products at a discount. I worked full time then and am now semi-retired and able to build my business to more than a hobby. I'm looking for people interested in doing workshops and others who would like to join my team. Please check out my blog for product videos, ideas, and free sketches and other downloads.
