Scrapbooking SOS: About ME

Hi! So a little about me!

My name is Michelle and I am a mother of 2 middle school aged children; a girl and a boy. We had 3 dog at one point. Now, we have our Mya who is a 9 year old Border Collie. So, our house has slowed down as far a family pets go, BUT it is still a busy place! My daughter is very artistic, there is usually something on her desk if not she has snuck into my craft room. My son is nuts about hockey, if he is not on the ice he is doing something related! Thankfully we have a full basement that he can go!

Scrapbooking has been my SOS so to speak. I started scrapbooking back in 2004 when I went to a Local Scrapbook Store for a class. It was slow going in the beginning but once I got some great travels, married and the kids came I was hooked.

I am a Jersey Girl born and raised. My husband was born in Queens, NY but raised in Newfoundland. Our family moved back to New Jersey almost 3 years ago. After being in Canada for 7 years. We lived in a small town just outside the capital city of St. John's, Newfoundland.

So my Numbers: I think it is posted on here as a challenge I did!

Met my husband in 2003

Married in 2005

Started a family 2007 (NJ)

I started scrapbooking back in 2004.

I started making cards about 2008, instead of buying them.

I started attending workshops, day crops, expos, retreats and even joined a hostess club. The hostess club is where my stamping started. The stamping is usually a part of my scrapbooking & cardmaking.

I created Scrapbooking SOS blog to share why I scrapbook. I scrap for me, my creativity and sanity. Of course, my family benefits from it all too. I 1st created the blog because I saw a lot of other scrappers using them. I wanted to be able to document my creativity. By having the blog it gives me the opportunity to keep up-to-date photos of my work. As well as, seeing my progress over time.

By having the blog it has allowed me the opportunity to be apart of blog hops and design teams.

I am a Fiskateer and love participating on the boards there until they closed down :(

I enjoy doing different challenges and sketches. As well as participating in blog hops and online crops.

I am currently on Pawer Paws Design Team, which is a Facebook Group. I was on true XOXO Scrapbooking, Scrap Our Stash, If Its Groovy - A Groovy Chick. As well as, some other design team spotlight opportunities in the past. Which are fun and challenging in the same.

I was one of the TOP 3 for Paper Secrets SYAO2 Weekly Challenges.
