About Me

My photo
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.

    It's a shame there's no card, but with 1 year old twins it's very understandable :o)

    I found your blog through the hop and I am glad that I did. You have some amazing creativity! So sorry to read about your story and the loss of you kids. God now has more angels to watch over you. I have twin boys that are 3 and wow how can you get all that scrappin and blogging done? At 1 year I could barely get anything done, cause they would both want me at the same time. Congrats on surviving the hardest year with twins. Now onto the toddler years where they think they know more than you do. Good luck!
