About Me

Rebecca Brown

Hi, I'm Rebecca. Welcome to my website! I live in Arnold, MO (just south of St. Louis) with my husband of nearly 20 years, my teenage daughter and our spoiled pup, Calla. I have always loved crafts as a hobby. But for most of my adult life I used primarily the left side of my brain as a math teacher and, more recently, an actuary. In November 2010, I bought the Close To My Heart consultant kit to get a great deal on beautiful products. Let's just say I got hooked! In May, 2012, I left my actuarial job to focus on my Close To My Heart business. I have never looked back. Being a Close To My Heart consultant allows me to be creative (& call it work!), meet new people and share my passion for paper-crafts. I'd love to connect with you! Please use the links below to contact me.
