Statement of Purpose:
I have been a crafter all my life, so it seemed natural to start scrapbooking after my son was born. For me it's not just a means to record life's special moments, it's a creative outlet. I love expressing myself creatively, but I also love to encourage others to find their own creative outlet.  I have embraced it with my entire being and want to share with others my enthusiasm and be an active and inspiring part of this dynamic and growing art.
