I am a Montana Native, who ended up in the tiniest corner of Southern California with a wonderful husband, married September 23, 2004, and a little daughter born May 12, 2007.

I have a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am a Christian.

I love scrapbooking, stamping and making altered books and art. I don't have a lot of friends down here, but I don't mind. I would like to have some pen pals perhaps and share inspiration with you all through scrapbooking. Many others have inspired me with their creations.

I think becoming a scrapbooker, so to speak, has trained my brain to notice the small and delicate things around me. It has made my senses seek out and capture moments that are precious and rare. I am learning to almost forsee what may be a "kodak" moment. Scrapbooking has also helped my spiritual life. It has helped me to lay down a picture story of how my decisions have lead me to this moment and the good that has been brought out of the bad. Scrapbooking has allowed me to use my many talents and skills to bridge gaps in communicating the passion I have for life and to make friends where I might not have.
