This is what that baby looks like now!


My first scrapbook page - January 1998.

About Me

I started my artsy journey as a new mom in 1998.  I was introduced to scrapbooking, and fell in love (the old Creative Memories way...).  I had never been very artsy before, and it was quite fun.  I scrapped and cropped for many years, but then we moved, I worked full-time, etc., etc., and fell out of doing much but a couple mini-albums. 

But another move later, kids getting older and more independent, and my mom passing away, gave me some time I wasn't expecting.  I got out my 'now fairly old' scrapbooking supplies and started taking some online classes.  I fell in love with using mixed media on my pages, and it has grown to a whole lot of art supplies in my 'hobby corner' of the house!

I have been married for 23 years to my high school sweetheart.  I have a son and daughter both in high school. Also inhabiting our house are two fun cats, and a very friendly goldfish. 

I have a master's degree in speech-language pathology, specializing in children, and working with kiddos on the autism spectrum. 

Beginning of the Blog

Hello - I have been wanting to set up an art blog for awhile.  So here we go!

I hope to inspire you with ideas and motivation.  Enjoy!
