About
I am a single mom of four boys that keep me on my toes. I work full time and seem to have no time to myself. I started scrapbooking years ago when I was still married. I am in a scrapbooking group I only wish I could do it more often. Since my divorce "me" time has seemed to dwindle more and more. But I find peace and solitude in doing it when I have time. I want to leave something for my boys I want them to know someday how much they were loved and are loved each and everyday. My mom never did anything like that for us when we were kids. She barely even took pictures so I have nothing to look back on from my childhood. So I promised myself that I would keep up on this, although with four kids I seem to get farther and farther behind. I have found this place to be very heartwarming and inspiring to me. I have done so many more pages since finding you guys. Thank you for that I needed a little pick me up and this has done it for me.
