Bio: Discovered scrapbooking Nov05 after taking a cruise with friends. We had so much fun I wanted to put the photos in an album & got hooked on scrapbooking. Have been making cards w/Lasting Impressions & embossing for years. Now, I love scrapbooking & want to organize every photo we have..and we have lots. Married 16 years. We've traveled quite a bit. We own a 45 ft sailboat, our dream boat and bought a house 7 years ago. Most weekends are spent working on one or the other. Live close to San Francisco Bay & sail our boat there. Summer 05 we bought a Harley touring motorcycle & I am looking forward to scrapping trips on the bike. I've quilted for 20 years and still love it. My poor room is stuffed between fabric and paper. Got a Cricut in July 06 and upgraded to the Expression April 08. Absolutely luv my bug. Been on scrapbook.com since I started scrapping & have met so many great people through the forums. I feel like I'm constantly learning new techniques and trying new things with my LOs. Newest thing is I bought a Zutter Bind It All to make journals and tag books, and just got the DreamKuts to make uniform cuts for books. I look at my first LO and want to laugh, but still cherish it as much as the one I did today.

2009 I joined a Close to My Heart stamp club and attend a monthly crop. Hope to learn more new techniques, have fun with my scrappy friends, and produce lots of cards and pages in 2009. And plan to participate in swaps and challenges here.
