I must confess… I am guilty of making the memories look better than they really were! It’s all about how you remember it… right? Your memories are, after all, yours! May as well remember the BEST part! My life is a little crazy. I have 5 energetic and active kids that keep me not only BUSY, but  I am convinced they are causing me what Bill Cosby called “Brain Damage” (remember that?)  My oldest is 13 and my youngest is 3 so we have all kinds of action to capture with a camera and document with paper and glue.  I consider myself first and foremost a scrapbooker, but I like to use my ‘mad-crafting’ skills to create mind-blowing party invites and tear-jerking-mini-books as well as repurposed, one-of-a-kind home décor for every season and holiday!

I feel like the luckiest girl ever because I get to do what I love for work!  I have written books and contributed to magazines. I have traveled the world teaching classes, and meeting scrapbookers…I will admit, my favorite thing has been designing product that I get to see go from just an idea to a packaged item…(my favorite item? Matchbook Jewels).  2 years ago, I put together a ‘dream team’ and we formed the House of 3… a website dedicated to lifestyle creating that pushes the possibilities of hybrid crafting. It’s SO much FUN! We put on a weekly LIVE webshow, where we teach and inspire and most of all laugh!

I guess at heart, I am a party-girl! I believe in “more the merrier” and love bringing people together- especially when it involves creating! That is where Creative Escape comes in! I have been blessed to work the the Bazzzill Team to pull off a remarkable event for the last 5 years. It’s been a labor of love, and a tremendous learning and growing experience for me.

I am so thankful for the daily crazy that overwhelms and inspires. I thankful for the undying support from my husband Eric and many, many friends- and of course, family.
I love this little hobby that is Scrapbooking… whatever, however you do it, it’s FUN!
