As a child I was often scolded by my mother for spending so much time cutting up papers and leaving a mess of scraps around after making scrapbooks and albums or what I referred to as "Books of Remembrance"

Now my mother thinks I am brilliant to be able to make a living cutting up papers and leaving a mess of scraps around to make my picture albums look cute!

I have been obsessed for most of my life with cutting and pasting.  I spend much of my spare time looking for new products to put in my store or playing with my cute boys Roy and Dari.
