Lil' About Me

I've been scrapping for about 10 years now. Ok I started out with construction paper and rubber cement when I was about 12. Does that even count as scrapping? My mom thought it did and she still has all those things I did way back when. I can't get her to hand them over so I can spray them with Archival Mist and put them in a real scrapbook.

I married my best friend and the closest to perfect man I've ever met three days before I turned 19. We're working on being married five years now. Unless you don't count the time the military has taken him away from me. Jonathan joined the military seven months after we got married in June of 2003. He's been in the Air Force going on four years now. He has a love-hate relation with the Air Force. So do I... Grrrr! He's deployed twice already. The first time when I was pregnant with our daughter and the second time right before her first birthday. He's made some sacrifices for his job but he loves it. Hopefully we make it to 20 years.

When Chaiilynn was about three months old a guy that Jon worked with, his wife had a Creative Memories party. I went and got hooked on modern scrapping again. I use everything. I think my favorite embelishment is metal. I love the way metal looks on the page. Oh and ribbon. I can't collect enough ribbon to use. I love it. And ribbon mixed with metal just makes me drool.

This is an 8.5x8.5 album I did for Jonathan to take with him the next time he deploys.
