Scrapbooking to me is an art form; a form of therapy and an outlet for my creativity. A way to record memories, milestones, journal thoughts and feelings and a way to provide my very personal history for the future generations to remember and enjoy. Scrapbooking to me is celebrating my passion for living and life. My desire and hope is to be an on-going contributing editor to a successful crafting magazine and/or be a part of one of the industry's leading manufacturer's design teams as well as independently owned online scrapbooking kit clubs, scrapbooking sites and/or forums.

Some of my other goals include teaching (in a work-shop type setting or online), getting more of my work published in addition to doing continued freelance work. I am interested in manufacturer and/or independently owned kit club online design team positions that will enable me to show my creativity and sense of style and design using some of the industry's most cutting edge scrapbooking products.
