About
Doris Rickard

WHO ARE "THE TOYBOX GRANNIES"? Well to put it simply, we are Dee (Doris Rickard) and ama (Jan Jensen). Dee is the grandmother of 3 and lives in Ontario, Canada where the winters are cold and long. Ama is the grandmother of 5 and lives in sunny Florida, USA, but has to dodge hurricanes. We have never met in person but have been the best of friends for many years. We met online in 2000 when we were both staff members of a web competition. We immediately formed a bond based on the great respect that we had for each other's artistic talents. It was not long before we were sharing the joys and heartaches of our personal lives as well. We have worked on many projects together, sharing our thoughts, ideas and talents. Along the way, as we discovered new tools or techniques we would say to each other..."I have a new toy for my toybox."....and thus the foundation for "The Toybox Grannies" was laid. We hope you enjoy these stories authored by Dee and beautifully illustrated by ama.
