BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Scrapbooking Introductions

Hello everyone!
My name is Jennifer
I'm 30 - WOW...first time I've written that down.
I'm an Inventory Analyst.
I'm married to my high school sweetheart - we have been married for 13 years and going strong! He is the love of my life! <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" /> He is a deputy sheriff and in the military. I'm very proud of him and all he does to serve our community and country. We do not have any children; but we do have a German Shepherd named - Badge. He is 5.

We do a lot of church and community volunteer work. We coach a little league football team and teach children's church.

I'm an Army brat and proud of it!!! So I've been all over the world.

I love to scrapbook, learn signlanguage, work out/jog, and read.

My husband is very supportive in my scrappin' adventures; from crops, to cruises - he is wonderful. I've been scrapping since 2000 and have not stopped since.

My friend got me started when she went to a CM party - I never got into that; but love all the lumpy embellishments, ribbons, metals, distressing, and all the good stuff.

You can check my scrapbook club out online at:
