THE BEGINNING

My adventure with hybrid scrapbooking began five years ago in 2003. I was a 53 year old single Mom struggling financially and emotionally. The question that haunted me was: "How can I make a positive difference in the lives of my sons that will continue on when I'm gone?" It occurred to me that the one precious thing I had to offer was my unique memories. Their Dad died that year, so the pressure to share these memories rested on my shoulders. More than just memories, I wanted to share feelings; to help them understand their own self worth, sense of identity, and individuality.
