I am a very lucky stay-at-home mom. I started scrapbooking in 1996 after my daughter was born and became addicted to it in 2002 with the birth of my son. I love trying new scrapbooking techniques and following the trends. Besides scrapbooking I love to travel, shop, garden, and photography. Someday I plan on returning to my nursing career but for now I am enjoying life at home.
I LOVE to scrapbook and it is a hobby I am passionate about. I have been scrapbooking for the past 8 years. I especially like to preserve the memories that will be passed down to my children. I have traditional scrapbooks documenting my girls’ steps along the way. I especially enjoy making mini books and projects. I give some as gifts and keep others for myself. I really like
the hands on work with papers, inks and ribbons. I like to touch and feel the products. For now, digital scrapbooking is not for me. I have let my style
evolve over the years and I always like to learnsomething new. Besides scrapbooking, I enjoy reading, both books and magazines, creating hand sewn crafts, and painting. I balance the rest of my life with a career as a
registered landscape architect. I am married to Tony and we have two daughters, Ashley and Sarah. We also share our home with our dog, Jasmine..
I love ART. I paint, collage, draw, create Altered Books/Art/ATC's, do Art swaps online with my Yahoo groups, make cards and scrapbooks and mini books. I do visual journaling and paint out my inner feelings. I take tons and tons of photos.Family is everything to me. I am a Mom to two beautiful daughters and they and their hubbies have given us my 7 wonderful grandchildren and now a great grandson (my photo is recent too). I read voraciously. My "Sister" is my best friend. I live with the KING of my world George and my younger stepson- (the King added his two sons to my family). We live in the woods in the southwestern corner of RI. I was born and raised in Boston and am a huge fan of all the Boston sports teams.I am very grateful for all of my blessings and honored to be in this group of artists at Bella.
