Marcia DeFalco<\/strong> is a former corporate executive and military spouse who survived seven household moves. For more than forty years, she juggled a marketing and sales career with her passions and active family life. This included becoming an accomplished mixed media artist and an avid collector of things ranging from postage stamps to rabbit figurines. She also volunteered with local service organizations and served as a family archivist for orphaned memorability. Through all of this she gained a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
