Eileen Hull


Paper Trail 15
with
Eileen Hull

It is with heavy heart that I announce Eileen has had to cancel the Paper Trail 15 tour.  Eileen's father's health has declined to the point it was felt she should return home.

For those of you who don't know Eileen, she is an artist, author, product designer and adventurer.  She licenses her die designs with Sizzix and unique ink applicators with Clearsnap.  She purchased a vintage trailer, Scotty, on eBay and outfitted it as a mobile studio.  She now travels cross-country on the Paper Trail and teaches at stores, retreats and events.  She has logged over 43,000 miles in the past 3 years and has visited 30+ states.  Her home is Herndon, VA where she lives with her husband.  Visit her website to read about her latest travels and adventures!

I am sure Eileen will resume the tour sometime next year when things return to normal.  And I am planning to have her when that time comes so stay tuned, watch for the announcement and remember to .....

Are you an art journaler?  Do you want to art journal?  This is the class for you!
