My love of crafting (sewing, crocheting and scrapbooking) started when I was young girl. At age 10, I remember asking my mother for a book called ‘Crafts for Kids.’ I still have that book today! My memory keeping at that time consisted of putting photos in a paper scrapbooks and placing memorabilia in my hope chest. Remembering this brings the memories to life and a smile on my face.

I am originally from Minnesota, retiring from nursing in 2021 before moving to Oregon. My three kids live throughout the U.S. (North Dakota, Georgia and New York). I am a grandmother of three adorable kids. My husband and I love to travel and are certainly enjoying the milder winters in Oregon!

I started scrapbooking with Creative Memories products in the early 1990’s when my children were young. I wanted to capture every moment and never let it go! This is when I became passionate about scrapbooking ‘My Story’ and helping others preserve theirs.

My goal is to help you get the photos from your phones (previously shoe boxes/plastic bins) into an album creating a ‘Legacy of Love’ for you and your family with Creative Memories!
