This calendar holds a very special place in my heart. Not only does it feature photos of my beloved family over the course of a year, it was this very project that marked a major change in my scrapping style. Through trying the many techniques that were new to me in this project a whole new world of scrapbooking opened up to me. It is a wonderful world that I am so thankful to have.

I have enjoyed the art of scrapbooking for over 13 years, since that first darling baby arrived on the scene. It is in this past year however, that my style has truly evolved and my passion for paper crafting has become a happy obsession. Lucky for me my family is very supportive, especially my sweet husband. I am now a busy mom of five sweet children who range in age from 2 to 12! Scrapbooking provides me with the creative outlet that I need while enabling me to create something of real value for the ones that I love. I guess you could say it is my creative therapy! I am pleased to design for Creative Cookbooking, Cookbookin', Scrap-a-Little and Whimsical Scraps & Bugs. You can also find me on my blog: Scrappy Days.
