🌟SPECIAL EMPLOYEE FEATURE🌟 our newest team member Nicole is not only a super talented music therapist, but she also has her own card business!
“I started making Christmas cards for my family when I was in college. I got more seriously into the art of paper crafting when my work supervisor invited me to a craft night at her house and showed me all of her gadgets and methods. I started Lencio Celebrations in March of 2021 as a way to share my cards with the community. All of my cards are handmade, unique, and completely customizable. Shout out to my dad for building the website! lenciocelebrations.com
Follow my Facebook/Instagram pages:
(Fun fact: “Lencio” is “Nicole” scrambled.)”
Ways to a music therapist’s heart:
1. Our amazing clients
2. Apple cider 🍎🍏
Today during our lunch we had some apple cider with caramel and brown sugar rims and an apple slice! Highly recommend with both hot and cold cider ☺️
