My story
I have been organizing scrapbook retreats and workshops for over 23 years. I started my journey as an Creative Memories Advisor to share the importance of preserving and celebrating your personal history. During the COVID pandemic, I relocated from Washington State to Utah and found that this state is eager for scrapbooking! It has made a comeback, and in a very encouraging manner. Apart from sharing my passion for our paper and album collections, I am excited to provide workshops and retreats that allow you the opportunity to create your own narrative.
I have more pictures of my two furry companions on my phone than I care to admit. Yes, I have children with paws! My current goals are to gather, arrange, and create albums that reflect my early life and new experiences here in the Beehive State.
I moved from the Pacific Northwest in November 2020
I adopted my furr babies Cookie & Jazz after relocating to Utah.
My workshop why
Uninterrupted Crafting Time
Say goodbye to daily distractions and hello to hours (or days!) of focused time to catch up on your albums, photo books, and creative projects.
Inspiration Everywhere
Surround yourself with fellow scrapbookers, fresh ideas, and new techniques. It’s impossible not to feel inspired when you see everyone’s creativity in action!
Connection & Community
Meet amazing people who share your love of memory-keeping. Whether you come with friends or make new ones, the retreat vibe is warm, welcoming, and fun.
Relax & Recharge
Treat yourself to a change of scenery, great food, and some well-deserved “me time.” This is your chance to unwind and do what you love.
All the Extras
Enjoy games, prizes, goodie bags, exclusive shopping, fun challenges—and maybe even a few surprises!
Don’t miss out—it’s more than just crafting; it’s an experience!
Bring your projects and your creativity. We’ll take care of the rest.
Ready for a weekend of creativity, connection, and fun? Here’s why a scrapbook retreat is the ultimate getaway.
