Connie A. Boustany

Connie Boustany graduated from Acadiana High School in 1974, and University of Southwestern Louisiana in 1978. She was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in General Home Economics with an emphasis in Social Welfare and a minor in Sociology.

As a Home Economist and Artist, she enjoys many forms of art from Natural Egg Dying passed down from her family for generations, learning the lost art of French Beading, Boudin making, which was learned as a child living on a farm, painting, soap & candle making, sewing etc. Life has changed but being creative is still a way of living. I enjoy teaching and sharing ideas.
