Lise Raynor was born in New Brunswick, Canada where she grew up in a totally French community.  She attended college at the University of Moncton, N.B. and upon graduation married an American and VOILA, she has been living in the United States ever since.  She moved to the McCormick area in November 2007 from Atlanta.  Lise taught French for many years in both the Georgia and North Carolina public school systems.  She has always been involved in a craft project of one kind or another, either at school, in the community or at home.  Her first experience with paper products began at a very early age when she did scrap booking for friends and family members.  Then, this craft evolved into a whole new world of inspirations.  Registering at one workshop after another, she has learned various ways to embellish her projects and has created several products of her own such as: clocks, recipe organizers, personalized pads and her most popular item, cards for all occasions.  She has named her business A Paper Affair.  Now that she has retired, Lise feels that there are no limits to all the possibilities that exist in her creative mind.
