Greetings, I am the owner of Scrapbook Island. My husband, Dan, and I have two wonderful children, Ashley, who graduated from Plymouth State in 2007, and Brandon, a senior at Arizona State. We also have two of the most adorable kitties in the world. Emmy (who is 9 years old) and Eddy (who is 6 years old) continuously entertain us with their antics. They have won permanent places in all of our hearts.
We moved to New Hampshire in 2002, the fifth state in our 25 years of marriage. Now that we have the store to take care of, a sixth is probably not in our near future!
I have been a scrapbook enthusiast most of my life. Before the scrapbook trend even started I was using cookie cutters to cut shapes out of construction paper. I made "This is Your Life" scrapbooks in magnetic photo albums. Well, I've learned a lot since then and corrected my many mistakes.
I've worked in several scrapbook stores and taught a variety of classes. Scrapbooking is my passion and I love everything about it. Most of all I enjoy helping others become excited about their own projects.
I'd like to introduce you to my employees and teachers. By reading below, I hope you get to know them just a little better. Please stop by the store to say "Hello" so that we can get to know you!
Being the daughter of such an avid photo keeper, I was destined to become a scrapbooker. When I was 15 I started my first job at our brand-new local scrapbook store. Ever since that time my hobbies have included scrapbooking, scrapbooking, and more scrapbooking. I love playing with all the new products and designing pages that incorporate a blend of textures and color. I also love to design cards using rubber stamps, inks, and water-colors. I delight in helping others find their creative niche.
