Hi everyone, my name is Tonya and I have been making mini albums for about 20 yrs on and off. I love to look at pictures and the thought of just holding them individually is not appealing to me. I am nosey so I need to know who they are and what they were doing in the picture. That really hit me after my parents passed and going thru their albums, I wasn't sure who most of the people where. With the new phones and snapping pictures everyone has them and never prints them out and there is not much said about them. This is why I do it. I give most away that I make and recently with Frances' guidance have been keeping more and more of them for myself.

Hello! My name is Deb. I’ve been making/following along with Frances’s tutorials for a few years. I had a bit of a crafting “break” within the past year and a half as I was going through cancer treatments. I have been cancer free for a year and am finally on medications that don’t make me super tired all the time. I also teach first grade full time and have two teenage children who are in many activities. Now that summer is almost here and I’m feeling so much better, I’m ready to start crafting again! I joined the June challenge to get me started again. 😊

Hi Everyone!!
My name is Cate. Born and raised in Utah, I've been building handmade books and scrapbooking since 1998 and haven't slowed down since (I've definitely evolved from the stapler and printer paper though).
I started building minis in 2018 after I got married and have crafted over 100+ books to collect or to give them away as gifts.
I studied biology and chemistry and have worked in research and development for 10 years and like to apply that kind of experimentation to craft supplies and paper. I've learned there's no wrong way to create and express yourself!
So excited to be part of this community and see so many talented people who are passionate about making albums!
