ABOUT

picinic [ˈpɪknɪk] n 1. a common mispronunciation of my last name. 2. a common misspelling of my last name. 3. You're not even close to my last name if you say it or spell it this way.

In all seriousness I'm a stay at home wife and mother who loves to take pictures of her family and document our lives. I have been scrapbooking since 1999 and my very first project was an album about our wedding! Talk about ambitious! My love of scrapbooking really peaked though after my daughter was born and I haven’t stopped since then.  My favorite ways to scrapbook right now is to make pocket page albums, mini books and Travelers Notebooks. I do a lot of Hybrid style work and couldn’t possibly scrapbook without a computer. I don’t worry about being caught up any more and make projects based on the story sparks I get from new products, stamps and kits. I love just going with the flow and not worrying about being current all the time. My love of paper and digital scrapbooking has allowed me the pleasure of designing for and contributing to several online scrapbooking classes and brands the past few years. When I'm not scrapbooking I spend my free time with my husband and my daughter and I love sipping coffee, taking care of my burgeoning house plant collection, browsing Instagram, reading, binge watching TV shows, and cheering on my daughter from the soccer field sidelines. I’m a girly girl at heart and love fashion and makeup get a lot of my color inspiration from there.
