About Me

Hello! I have been crafting for more than 20 years. It is my number one way to de-stress. I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with a completed project. I also love to scrapbook because it helps me to remember the important things. So, while I'm destressing and doing something healthy to strengthen my brain I'm also growing my spirit and creativity. Besides my crafty hobby, I am a wife and a mom to two awesome boys, as well as a doggie momma to the sweetest 17-year-old Shepard mix ever. I live for days that I can spend with my husband, my boys, and our pup. We live in the south, love the country, and strive for a simple quiet life together. Last but not least, we are proud to be  Virginia Tech Hokies! 

 Remember… "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.” 
George Bernard Shaw

Tell the Story…

Welcome! I love all things paper and ink, always have. I am addicted to craft supplies. I love paper crafting pretty gifts and home décor. I love hand-making cards. I love photography, scrapbooking, and preserving family history.   As the years go by, I understand more and more the importance of telling the story. Have you ever looked through a box of old pictures and wondered, "When was that taken? Who is that? Where were you then?” Sometimes you have someone there to provide answers, but as the days go by more often than not, it is too late. The memories and the stories about loved ones that go with the pictures fade and eventually cease to exist when we do not make the effort to document them. We need to ensure that future generations—our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews—know the stories that matter. Traditional, digital, pocket, and hybrid scrapbooking are all ways of telling the stories that go with the pictures; it is our way to add color for future ...
