Thank you to Chris from Chris' Creative Life for nominating me for this slightly different Blog Hop.
This Creative Blog Hop is a way to have an ongoing, never-ending hop that introduces you to other creative crafters and broaden our list of blog artists.What a fun way to expand your eye candy!So the way this works is a answer a few questions about myself and pass you along to the next talented creative person at the end. On with the questions.... 

What am I working on now?
Right now I am mainly working on keeping my scrap-booking supplies organized while in the process of moving. I have started to work on some home-made Christmas cards to sell . I also have an ongoing scrapbook for each of my kids. 
As Chris mentioned my many hats I also have started a photography business. I have been overwhelmed with interest in the small town we have moved to Kenora Ontario. 

How does my work differ from others in my genre?
I don't think what I create in the end is different from others. I like my photos to shine that is what I focus on when I create my pages,  I like to recreate ideas I have seen, always giving credit back to the original creator. 

Why do I create?
I love crafts, I have my whole life. My Mom can tell you about the dream houses I use to draw on stacks of white paper. She was always trying to get me to purge my craft stuff.   I scrapbook to preserve my family memories, and let my kids know what I was thinking when they were little.

How does my creative process work?
I like to pick my photos first before I pick my paper and crop them before I choose a layout to do.  My main focus is to make the photos shine. The paper or embellishment are there to help tell the story but not be the focus.  That must be from the photographer in me.  

I hope that you have enjoyed reading a little bit more about me. Now I am going to pass you along to a super talented person. She is a mother of two, a Close to my Heart director and an amazing inspiration to how to balance a full-time job, being a parent and a crafter all at the same time.  Check out Brae Montgomery of The Brae-er
