Comments: 
OK background check OK 7/03 klr 1/12/10 pending confirmation info current M.Weathers, DN: She did a few classes for me when I was the YA librarian at MC. She was great! It was a while back, but she didn't charge very much then. I kept having her back since I could afford to have more programs with her. S.Beasley, CT: All of the customer comments from all 16 participants were so wonderful. Debbie is insightful, talented and she has a great sense of humor. Everyone created beautiful art.

She is always extremely professional and courteous, the kids love her, and she is very reasonable in price. I will continue to hire her as often as I can. She works well with kids of all ages.”
