I am originally from Illinois, moved to
sunny California when I was nine. I was
never real artistic as a child (although I
liked all kinds of arts and craft, never
thought I was to good at it). My husband
is the artistic one in the family and guess
my daughter Danielle got it from
him....she was the one that got me into
scrapbooking. I started by redoing my
wedding book that was falling apart. Still
wasn't real into it until my husband
moved me to Texas - kicking and
screaming !!!! My daughter pushed me
out the door and said go scrap and meet
some people. That was the best thing I
ever did, found my artistic self and some
of the best girlfriends I have ever had.
Although I like scrapbooking, I really love
making cards and have even gotten into
making mini books and alittle altering.
My scrapping has gotten a lot more
attention since acquiring my first
grandbaby! Scrapping Kyle sure beats
scrapping my cats !
