Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for checking out my blog! A little about me...I love taking pictures more than anything. I was introduced several years ago to Creative Memories when my sister invited me to a party where a consultant helped us make a scrapbook page. I had never seen or done that before. I was thrilled. I created a page of my daughter's 1st birthday. I was so proud. After a year or two, I decided to become a consultant to help support my new habit. The discount on products was great. I didn't have any customers or downline, but it really didn't matter because I only wanted the discount. A few years later, my maternal grandfather introduced me to genealogy. He had traced our family history all the way back to Adam of the Bible, yes, it's true. It took him 10 years. He was an incredible man. I was very proud of what he had done for our family. It was fascinating! I then started tracing my father's side of the family to learn more about my Cherokee Indian heritage. It was at that point in my journey that scrapbooking became so much more for me. After digging and realizing I had very few pictures of my ancestors and didn't really know anything about them, nor could I find anything about them, I realized I had to do a better job of documenting my life and my family's life for my children and future generations. They deserve to know all about me and my family and my life. I was really saddened that I didn't have any documentation of my ancestors like my grandfather had found for his side of the family. It then became a quest for me to help others understand how important it was to journal their life, preserve their pictures, and come up with meaningful ways to display all of it. It is now my passion to help people with their journeys. I love Creative Memories for what they stand for, their incredible quality of products, and the people I have met along the way. I am now a stay-at-home mom and am looking forward to my new journey and helping as many people as I can along the way.
