Welcome to my blog!

Hello Everyone!

I don't know why but it seems the first post is so hard to write and I've hard writer's block.  A big thanks to one of my bff's Dolly who helped inspire me to do this blog!  She's been trying to convince for quite some time now and I've finally joined the blogging bandwagon!  I still feel like I have a lot to learn about scrapbooking and at times I still feel like a 'noob'!  However, I know that I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for other people's blogs, tutorials and youtube videos!  Technology is so amazing these days!

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I'm a Mommy of two beautiful girls (Jayna who is 4 and Jade who is 2) and is married to an amazing husband and have been happily married for 8 years.  I work a full time job as a Product Change Analyst for a software company and have been there for almost 10 years.

I first got into scrapbooking when I first had Jayna and I attended my friend Ezlie's workshop.  From that moment on, I knew that this was going to be more than just a hobby.  Scrapbooking has really changed my life in many ways.  It for sure is therapy for me in the hustle and bustle of my daily life.  I'm also a proud owner of my Cricut Expression.  I also love scrapbooking for my loved ones.  I love making giftts; from cards, to scrapbooks or any type of sentimental hand made gift I can make.  I have many people in my life that help me with ideas as well as looking into the online world to inspire and help get my creative juices peculating!

My purpose for this blog is to share some of the things I've created as well as connect with people who have the same passion and love for scrapbooking.  A big thank you to anyone who stumbled along this site and took the time to read this!  I'll be posting some of the recent projects I've done.  Happy scrappin!
