My Interest:
I am scrapping and designing and LOVING IT, but there is really so much more! As much as I love to design, I'm even more excited about writing! Perhaps that is why I enjoy scrapping so much... creative design, family memories, writing my thoughts and feelings, and rocking out to my 80's music in my studio with the door closed! My creative santuary! :-)

My ulitmate goal would be to author a scrap design related book. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my resume! I look forward to chatting with you soon!
