I am a blessed mama of two boys, both grown and making their way on their own. They are my why! The reason I use the scrapbooking creative is that I always want them to know not only their legacy but also how much they are loved and remember all the fun times they had growing up! I love to keep my precious memories vivid!

I am also blessed with the best "frienstumers" (friends/customers) that support my small business and keep me sane through this crazy life! I love the flexibility this business gives me to spend time with my family and friends and do things that bring me joy (besides scrapbooking). I couldn't do it without my loyal customers! I love my job and working from home!

Family time and outdoors time is a must! We love boating and camping and spending time with our incredible friends. 

Most of all I love sharing that passion with all of you! I will never forget finding pictures of real people at a thrift store! It broke my heart, and I swore from that day forward that my families' precious memories would not end up that way and I vow to help others do the same.

Creative Memories is a pioneering force in the scrapbooking industry! But....I am proud to not just offer STUFF. Yes, I have STUFF: the best photo albums ever with lifetime guarantees, the most exquisite line of papers, stickers and embellishments, and new things are added EVERY month! And innovative paper crafting tools. Ahhh, the tools are the best on the market. But all of that is just STUFF. GOOD stuff: but what I’m most proud of is the community that I’ve built to help others learn the art of scrapbooking. You can't get this kind of customer service from the big box stores! It truly is a vibrant community of positive women celebrating life through the lens of creativity.

Unlock the world of fun, fast and simple scrapbooking! With a focus on Un-Craftiness (I say un-crafty because I really LOVE to copy!), I share insights into page layout ideas, groundbreaking tools and provide organizational tips. Transform your precious memories into timeless art!! Whether virtually or in-person, my workshops, retreats and page classes are designed to unleash your creativity (even if you think you don't have any).
