Welcome to Croppin' With Katie

I'm excited to start my blog - a casual way for me to write about my own scrapbooks, share ideas and introduce new products to those interested in this every popular hobby - scrapbooking.

A blog seemed appropriate... they seem to be everywhere these days! And, having a BA in Mass Communications, I'm always trying to keep up to date on the latest and greatest ways to communicate! I make it a habit to check a few blogs regularly (my husband's, a cousin's, a dear friend from college who lives in Austrailia) and I occasionally just surf around and read random ones. As you read mine, you may learn something or you may pick up a hobby that you never thought would interest you, or that you'd have the time for.

A little about me - what most of you who are checking this already know. I have been scrapbooking for 8 years, three of those have also been spent selling scrapbooking supplies as an Independent Consultant for Creative Memories. I love this job, as it allows me to spend time with my family and also to help people, while continuing to do one of the most relaxing and rewarding projects I can think of... preserving my family history and memories.

That was confirmed this morning when my daughters were begging me to look at their albums. They spent the rest of the afternoon looking for toys around the house that they had forgotten about - gifts they now recall getting by looking at Christmases and Birthdays from years past. Cute... okay frustrating spending all day looking for toys that had either been put away, given to someone else or sold at garage sales... but satisfying knowing that my girls can pour over these albums for hours and spark memories and conversations.

So go ahead and bookmark this site and check often... I'll try to post at least weekly, if not more!
