About Michelle:

My best friend and I started making "memory books" when we were in ninth grade. We devoured all of our parent's magazines to cut things out and stick into our books! What a long way the scrapbooking industry and my personal memory books have come since then!

I became totally obsessed with scrapbooking when my daughter was very little! I dove in head first to start a scrapbooking career. My passion is helping others learn to preserve their family heritage and faith through scrapbooking and journaling. In 2001 I started hosting Scrap Camp weekend retreats and every year since approximately 100 ladies gather together for a weekend of scrapbooking twice a year! I really enjoy event planning and pampering other scrappers so my sister and I bought a building and started Get Crafty Studios weekend retreats. I have also been the BellaOnline Scrapbooking Editor for the past four years. I feel so blessed to have met scrappers and crafters from all over the United States that I now call friends!

I was born and raised in West Virginia, where I currently live with my husband and our 3 children. I am a retired homeschooling mother! My children are all in public schools now and I am blessed to be teaching 3 and 4 yr olds at Mt Pleasant Preschool where I am the teacher/ director. I am also the Sparks Director for our Awanas club at church.

I enjoy spending time with my family, entertaining at our home, playing with my kids, listening to contemporary Christian music, going to concerts, scrapbooking and talking with my friends, trying new recipes, reading and playing Canasta! I enjoy every day to the fullest and always try to make the best of every situation.

I praise the Lord that he put the desire in our hearts to create FaithSisters.com. Sunny and Karma are the Bestest SISTERS in the world! I am so thankful that He put them in my life! I continue to be amazed at how He has used Faith Sisters and grown it into a community of wonderful supporting sisters. When I need prayer I know exactly where to turn and I know that our heavenly father answers the prayers of our Faith Sisters! I know that there are only more wonderful things in store!

Here are my latest projects:
