My name is Maria, and I'm happily married with two kids. I started playing around with the idea of "Am I scrapbooking? What am I DOING?" when my oldest child was born.

This, "hobby" of mine gradually evolved until I became obsessed. Almost twelve years and about thirty books later (at least ten of which were given away as gifts), I am still obsessed. I have turned my friends to scrapbooking, gotten them hooked, too. I have also discovered the Cricut Expression, and it has been an invaluable tool for me. There is something Cricut-cut on almost all of my LOs.

My thirteen-year-old son shakes his head when he sees me scrapping at the table, as does my husband; but my eight-year-old daughter gets excited because she knows I share stickers and cardstock scraps with her so she can "scrap" too, and cut out her "E" for her. I even print out an extra picture for her and let her go to town!
