About Me

My name is Jessica, an army wife and mother to two beautiful (and silly) kids. We live in the gorgeous Bavarian region of Germany. Although I've been here for less than a year, I have already fallen in love with it. My only complaint is the monetary conversion rate and the lack of scrapbooking and craft stores in my area. That is why MemoryWorks caught my eye. I find that there is a need for a venue for military spouses overseas to shop and learn scrapbooking without having to worry about the costs associated with buying on the economy.

As an independent consultant, I am new to the field, but please do not let that discourage you. I have been scrapbooking for many years and have worked along side some serious talent via design teams. I look forward to sharing with you the best, newest, and hottest products on the market. Not sure what to do with it? No problem! I offer workshops, teaching beautiful projects with even more beautiful product. Need an idea for a page? I have sketches available to aid in quicker scrapbooking.

Why scrapbooking? For those of you who are either brand new or completely unfamiliar to the craft, you are probably asking yourself what the big deal is? Scrapbooking is a multi-billion dollar industry and the fastest growing hobby in the US. Here are a few reasons why I enjoy scrapbooking:

1. Protecting and sharing memories in a physical medium (i.e. an album) that can be viewed decades down the road.
2. It keeps me connected with the people, events, places and experiences that make up my life.
3. Completing a layout or a project gives a enormous sense of accomplishent, even if the finished product is small. I end up with a feeling of being capable of accomplishing more and feeds my drive to create.
4. It is my favorite creative outlet and stress relief.
5. The social aspect of scrapbooking is phenominal. Besides having fun exploring your art, you learn new techniques and tips from other enthusiasts.

Whether you attend a scrapbooking party, a crop, or a workshop with me, I look forward to showing you how to accomplish your crafting desires. Feel free to email me any questions or if you need recommendations on starting.

Jessica
