Time for Creativity.

Today I am thankful for the talent God gave me to create. All my life I have enjoyed all sorts of crafts, from painting ceramics, to cross stitching, to many other things and now on to scrapbooking. I think I have finally found my creative niche in scrapbooking. When Timothy was a little over a year old, I went to a Creative Memories party. There I created a page of Timothy's first birthday. I was hooked. I got all the necessary tools and things I would need to continue this wonderful hobby. Once I got it all home though, it sat... and sat. After a while I decided it was just not for me. I have to credit my friend Terrie B. for reintroducing me into this wonderful world of scrapbooking. At the time, she was a CM consultant, and she invited me to a crop. I was hesitant at first, but I went. Again, I was hooked, but this time it stuck. I have now been scrapbooking for almost 10 years. My style has changed from simple to elegant and back and forth. It is such a blessing to me to have been able to document our lives through photos and journaling and turning it into a piece of art. I have completed many many pages and completed over 25 scrapbooks. I hope that one day my children will really love the fact that I documented their birthdays, holidays, hair cuts, every day moments, silly moments and everything in between. Now I not only get to enjoy my hobby, but in being a partner in my own scrapbooking store, I feel I am living out a dream! So, thank you God for giving me this talent, and thank you Terrie for developing my love of this hobby! Here is my most recent creation!
