I love to scrapbook! I always have!  I have been scrapbooking my photos and keepsakes for about 25 years now.  My earliest of "Scrapbooks" were my journals.  Now that there is so much to make scrapbooking fun, I love it even more! I used to paint and draw, but scrapbooking has been able to fill those creative outlets.  Each layout or spread is a blank canvas for me and I truly enjoy creating great pages to store and journal precious memories.  I love trying new techniques and products and I am always looking for the newest creations to make for family, friends and Ebay.

I have a very understanding and supportive family where my craft is concerned.  My husband runs "Quality Control" on all pages or projects that I list on Ebay.  He will comb over each layout for an indescretion but rarely finds one!  My daughters love having a mom with tons of scrapbook supplies and fun toys, there is never a need to run out for supplies for school projects because they know I have it all!

Almost 3 years ago I lost my dad, my hero, to esophageal cancer.  He was just 52 years old.  Since then, I put away scrapbooking for 1-2 months a year and pick up my crochet hooks, knitting needles, and sewing machine and our family makes blankets, hats and scarves for the the Chemo Bay that treated him for his 13 months of fighting the cancer.  Anyone who has had chemotherapy knows how cold you can get while having it administered.  It is our way of giving back and saying "Thank You" for all you did and continue to do.  I also make sterling silver and Swarovski crystal cancer awareness bracelets for those who help with the effort.  To date, we have made over 150 blankets, 200 hats and 100 scraves.  I have had the honor of presenting over 100 bracelets to friends and family for the their help with the cause.
