This is an overview of my scrapbooking history and accomplishments.

I started scrapbooking in 1997. I started with my older pictures and scrapped them in chronological order. It took me 4 years to catch up and get "current". Since that time, I have been able to scrapbook events as they happen.

I became part of the Design Team for my local scrapbook store (Pages In Time - Mishawaka, IN) in 2004. Each month I am given a new assignment. Sometimes it's working with specific products, other times it's with a certain theme in mind... but it's always a blast!

I didn't start submitting my work to scrapbook publications until Jan 2004. Although seeing my work in print is a huge honor, I don't obsess about it. I like to see what the various publications are looking for and submit to that call if I feel my work qualifies. Then, I tend to forget about it. Because of the way I handle submitting, it's always been a very nice surprise when the call comes.
