Expertise

Scrapbooking and making Memory Albums. I can answer questions regarding proper products to use to preserve photographs. Additionally, I can provide information on layouts and the other processes to use to make memory books attractive. I have taken many classes in scrapbooking and am have done books for others. I am an active participant on several e-mail loops which discuss style, products and idea exchange. I have completed dozens of memory albums and am currently working on four new ones.

Experience in the area

Albums that are complete are the greatest accomplishments!

What do you like about this subject?

More than anything I enjoy the looks on my children's faces when they see themselves in our albums. Having the priviledge of being the family historian is terrific!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I would like to be able to submit some of my more creative pages to scrapbook layout magazines.
