About Me




Hi my scrappin' friends,

Karen is my name and working with paper is my game.  What I love to do with paper and other sundry items is create cards and scrapbooks, especially mini-scrapbooks using unusual materials.  I'll share more about that in the upcoming postings.

I began this artistic adventure about two years ago and LOVE IT!!  The adventure started when I decided to become an Independent Consultant for Close To My Heart.  I had been attending CTMH gatherings and buying product but the products were gathering dust on the closet shelf.  So, I decided if I got involved in the selling end of the process maybe I would actually dust off what I had and use it.  Well, it worked!  I have been stamping and scrapping since!

In my other lives I am a mother to two grown children, Matthew and Elaine.  Matthew lives near LaCrosse WI and manages two apartment complexes.  Elaine is an RN and works as a supervising nurse for an in-home care program.  Elaine is also mother to my one and only grandchild, Thomas age 7, who is the very light of my life!

I am semi-retired and to make ends meet (or at times almost meet ;-)) I run an in-home daycare.  I currently provide care for two toddlers and a 4 year old preschooler.  I love my job!!!  

My other creative interest  is writing for young children.  I hope that someday my name will be on a published children's picture book!  

I hope that my little blog will inspire and motivate the exploration of stamping and scrapping as a creative outlet for others. 

I believe that preserving your memories is an important way to tell your story to the next generations.

COME AND JOIN ME ON THIS FUN  JOURNEY TO PRESERVING YOUR MEMORIES!

TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Karen
