Your Hostesses
Michelle Nystrom
I have been scrapbooking for 6 years now. I love taking
the pictures of my family (my wonderful husband and three beautiful
children) and turning them into scrapbook pages that I love to look at
and share with others. I work part-time for Scraps of Life (an awesome
scrapbook store in Redding CA). I started Scrap Happy Retreats because
I love to get away and scrap. I relish the time I can spend truly
devoting myself to scrapping and creating amazing pages. I love getting
together with friends who share my passions and getting to know other
scrappers! I also enjoy reading, sleeping, watching sports, spending
time with my husband (did I mention he was wonderful?) and kids,
listening to talk radio and shopping. I am passionate about my God, my
family, scrapbooking, politics and football. I look forward to getting
to know you!
Angie Kelley
I have been crafting in some fashion or another as long as I can
remember. I have always loved paper crafts; even as a child I was
spending most of my pocket money on paper, colored markers and glue. I
worked as a floral designer for 17 years, doing mostly wedding and
custom work. I have been married for 9 years and have two wonderful
small children at home.
Brenda Walker
My family calls me...Wife, Sweetie, and now Mommy. I am
wife to my amazing husband Zachary, and new mommy to my beautiful baby
girl Emily Elizabeth. I am passionate about my family, but I have other
passions too. Just to name a few of those personal interests: I love
starbucks, Disneyland, the color pink, playing on the computer,
spending time with my husband, my Savior and Lord, church, reading and
Christmas. Somewhere in the midst of everday activities: laundry,
dishes, cooking, changing diapers and cleaning I find time to
scrapbook. I love sitting down with my patterned paper, cardstock and
pictures and creating pages about the little things in life. I am
blessed beyond measure and look forward to all the God has in store for
me and my family.
Toni Berry
I have been scrapbooking for nine years,and also enjoy card making and
rubberstamping. I am the owner of Scraps
of Life in Redding, Ca. When I am not busy at the store I enjoy
spending time with my husband, 4 kids and 6 grandkids. I also find time
to help with my daughters music program and volunteer at church.
Susie White
I have been involved in paper arts and crafty projects for 15 years,
and have been scrapbooking for about 8 years now. I especially love
making
gifts for my friends and family. I enjoy making themed albums, sets
of handmade cards and anything that allows me to be creative. If I
can't find what I want in the store, I'll just figure out how to
make it myself! I have been married for 8 years now (to my high
school sweetheart!), and I have 2 beautiful children who take up most
of
my time and are the focus of most of my projects.

as addicted as the rest of us!). She also enjoys swimming, hiking,
playing softball and being a stay-at-home mom!
