If she\u2019s not in her studio (aka \u2018the bat cave\u2019) then she\u2019s probably out running around having fun with her family or cooking up a storm. \u00a0May has been working in the scrapbooking industry for a decade and currently blogs [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayflaum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.mayflaum.com<\/a>] her crafty adventures, teaches on-line classes, and works with amazing companies sharing her projects and ideas.
