Welcome to My Creative Space!
I have been organizing scrapbook retreats and workshops for over 23 years. My journey began as a Creative Memories Advisor with a simple mission: to share the vital importance of preserving and celebrating your personal history. When I relocated from Washington State to Utah, I discovered an incredible community eager for connection and creativity! Scrapbooking is making a beautiful comeback here in the Beehive State, and the energy is truly inspiring. Beyond sharing my passion for premium paper and album collections, I am dedicated to providing retreats and workshops that offer you the time, space, and community to create your own narrative.
A Little About Me...
When I’m not at a cropping table, you can usually find me with my two favorite furry companions. Like any true memory keeper, I have more pictures of my cats on my phone than I care to admit! Yes, I proudly have children with paws. My current personal goals are to gather, arrange, and design albums that reflect both my early life and the wonderful new experiences I am making here in Utah. Whether you are a seasoned creator or just beginning to gather your photos, I can't wait to help you bring your stories to life!
I moved from the Pacific Northwest in November 2020
I adopted my furr babies Cookie & Jazz after relocating to Utah.
