I am a Baby Boomer and I Love to scrap. I am a non-smoker in progress! I made it January 2, 2009 was my One Year without a cigarette thanks to Chantix. I can’t believe I really quit. God has given me the Grace to do it. Thanks to His mercy I am still smoke free.

I Love my family and to scrapbook my family memories. I started scrapbooking before scrapbooking was 'cool' in 1999. My goodness it changes so fast and it is hard to stay up to date on all the newest trends. I have just started making cards for the instant gratification! Much faster and a smaller canvas then scrabook pages. I still have to do a page or two here and there because I miss working with the photos and the journaling. I would love to be on a Design Team someday. Wouldn't that be fun?

My web is www.scrapbookingal.com

I love to read and recently read Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski.

I love to listen to music, crochet, photography, walk my dog Sonny, a black cocker spaniel, and spend time with my children 24 and 22.

BTW, I have had a lot of compliments on my Avatar. It is a scanned image from an old Sears Catalog! Gotta love the vintage stuff.

I am participating in my first Swap! I definitely recommend it to any newbie. Now I am going to start a list, (like my friend dkravec) for my 2009 Swaps:

Lace & Ribbon Swap

NJR007's Fall/Winter ATC Swap
