THIS PAGE HAS MOVED!
Everything in this site is now built around my blog, which is now available right at krismom.com!
You'll find the updated version of this page there, or you can search the blog to find info on the subject. As a young married mommy, I blog about anything and everything from my experiences surviving PPD and OCD, to coping with pain from car accident injuries, to daily life with kids, to scrapbooking and card-making, to blogging and internet/new media topics.

Scrappy chickie...
I have been scrapbooking since my DD was about 1 (so since 1999!) and fell in love with it at the first
Class I went to (one of my aunts hosted a CM class). I started with one CM album, a few markers and some
paper from Walmart and a TON of photos! Since then, I've slowly built up my collection of tools & supplies,
and also my personal skills & abilities! Now I enjoy scrapbooking as a hobby, a craft, something I do
for my family, something I do for "me time", as a healing and meditative project, and even sometimes as
something I can control and manage in small bits and pieces when life is overwhelming. :)

My Albums
I always feel a sense of satisfaction when I'm able to complete an album! Yes, often the fun is in
the journey, in the making of it, but it's also great to have a finished project to show off to
family and friends. Here's a summary of all these different projects! :)
(lists are current as of October 2007)

Join one of my Scrapbooking Moms ring!
I was actually surprised to find that there aren't more
scrapbooking rings out there, especially ones for scrapbooking
moms (who else scrapbooks MORE than we do!?) ;)
so I started a webring for scrapbooking moms, and just recently also started a
scrapbook ring specifically for *young* moms who love the scrap! Please take a look
and join one. :)
