About Me

I was born and raised in Central Ohio, USA. I am a mother of 4 wonderful children, 2 boys and 2 girls, ages 21, 19, 16, and 14. I am newly, Naani, to a grandson born 11.11.2019! I am also engaged to Roy and he has 3 amazing boys, ages 13, 11, and 9, his youngest was actually in my preschool class when he was 3. I have an amazing loving blended family.

I graduated with an Associates degree in nutrition in May 2016. I am a Team Lead at a preschool. I started paper scrapbooking in 1999, but it didn't last long, I found it expensive and hard to manage the collection of supplies and managing layouts when using a dining table to create, so I stopped sometime in 2000. I picked up digital scrapbooking in 2006, on a forum on the parenting site I was visiting daily during my youngest's pregnancy. I also began designing professionally for Elemental Scraps and PickleBerryPop and a few other shops, but went on hiatus during a divorce and then again during my schooling. Hopefully I'm back for good! You may have seen me in other forums as rachelbrein, scarlettcharm or Rachel Martin.

When I am not making memories, preserving them, sleeping or working, Roy and I are avid TV/Film enthusiasts, we love binge watching TV shows and movies and discussing filmography and camera angles and shots, we are as nerdy as we sound. I LOVE the color green. I am the plant mom of 35. The entire family is a lover of the Harry Potter Universe and all things Marvel, we love all types of music, and I love designing scrapbooking kits and elements. We also love attending live events around town, including concerts, live bands, and theatre (big and small). The kids often keep us busy with musical instrument lessons, High School Theatre, Cheerleading etc. We have a large busy family and we love it.

I absolutely love scrapbooking. It serves 2 purposes for me. Creative outlet and preserving the random and poignant moments of my life.
