My first project, the notepad holder.  My card stock cracked so next time I’ll try a lighter weight.  It was a good first time book for me.

Good Evening my crafty friends!  I am from a small town in Iowa of about 1200 people.  I am a nurse by day and crafter by night.  I am a mother of 3 grown sons, 1 daughter, 1 bonus daughter, and grandmother of 5 grandchildren; with another coming in March.  I came across one of Frances books when looking for a cute baby album and what can I say, I'm hooked.  I love her teaching style and the constant encouragement she gives during tutorials.  I look forward to seeing all the beautiful creations you all come up with.  God bless! My last project was a waterfall folio for a baby shower.

So, I realized that I jumped directly into my first post like i actually knew what I was doing and totally forgot to introduce myself. My bad! I’m Toni. I live in Champlin, with my hubby of forever and two geriatric kitties. Who am I kidding…we’re all a little older than we would like to admit. I am still learning this whole make -it-from-the-ground-up album thing but am (as Frances would say) having a blast at it. Praise the Lord for people like Frances who can teach! i am loving this community and can’t wait to share more of what I am doing. Happy crafting everyone!
