JUST THE FACTS:
Debbi Ball (aka the mom):

Elisha Reese (aka the daughter): I guess you could sum me up by my four passions in life: my faith, my family, technology and design. I am married to my best friend who is an amazing teacher and Army Reservist. I'm also the proud mother to two of the sweetest and smartest little boys. I am proud to say that I'm a fourth generation teacher, although to be honest up until my second year in college I swore I would NEVER be a teacher. I knew teachers were underpaid and overworked, now I realize a teachers riches are not found in their bank accounts. I have worked in the education field since 2003. I taught high school business/technology for the first seven years. I'm now the high school Instructional Technologist for the best high school in Texas, Frenship High School. I have always had a passion for designing and began digital scrapbooking when my first son was born. That passion has continued to grow throughout my graduate work in Instructional Design and Technology and even more so in designing birthday invitations and school party favors for my boys. Since there is only so many things I can design for two young boys I decided to create Our Creative Mess so that I could design all year long for others.
