First posting...ever!

Hello. Welcome to my blog. I created this blog as a central location for all my favorite creations and photo's. I am a full time working wife and mother. I have two incredible kids. Emily is 6 and is about to start 1st grade. Shaun is 3 and never stops making me laugh. I am married to my High School sweetheart, Kevin. He means the world to me.


I started scrapbooking about 6 months or so after I had my first child. Of course, like most new parents I took waaayyyy to many photos of her, and I had to do something with them all. My neighbor introduced me to scrapbooking and I have been hooked ever since. My first love though, is photography. I took some classes during my school years, but soon after school I settled into being a wife and mother and lost track of it. Now I work full time in a doctors office. It pays the bills, but I really do wish I would've persued this hobby a little further. I have always said it's never to late to try. I find as much time as possible to indulge myself in photography and scrapbooking. I don't always have time to sit and focus on a project, so sometimes I settle for walking around with the camera in my hand or shopping for scrap supplies, these things make me so happy.

My grandmother passed away about a year ago, and when she did I inherited a lot of her old photos. Most of them go back as far as the 30's and 40's. Thanks to the diligent chronicling of both of my grandparents, I have yet to find one picture that I wasn't sure of the date. It was hand written with a white pen on each and every photo. It was inspiring.

It is now my mision to chronicle as much of my family's life as possible. One day I hope that my children can sit down with their children (and grandchildren) and look at all this stuff that I put my heart into.

So, thats the purpose of this blog. Maybe I will make some friends who feel the same. Maybe, somebody will read this and relate. If you do...let me know. Thanks!
