About Me

Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

A very quick layout...




I stumbled upon the Imaginisce challenge blog today. They had a great sketch challenge that I wanted to take part in. The only problem is that it had to be done by today. So I quickly came up this layout using Imaginisce papers that I had in my scrap pile, that made me happy :) The pictures stink because I took them at night while I was half asleep. The middle picture I popped up with pop dots but it is hard to make out.

    Your layout is beautiful! I know what you mean about scrapbooking! I started a group in St.George, Ut. where I live called "Mothers of Angels". I lost my 15 1/2 year old son 7 years ago and scrapbooking has been my total therapy. I scrapbooked before he passed away, but it means so much more to me now!!! I'm so sorry for you loss!
