Scrapbooking: your life / your story / your way
Taking the picture is only the first step - recording and documenting people, places and time and writing the stories is essential for recording an event for history. Includes demonstrations; hosted by Kerri Weaver.
Kerri Weaver is a Creative Memories consultant. Born and raised in the Lethbridge area, she attended the University of Lethbridge where she earned BA (Psych.) and B Ed. degrees before beginning a teaching career in the elementary and junior high grades. Having been an avid photographer and album maker since Grade 2 (a long time!), this evolved into a love of scrapbooking and a passion for memory keeping that fits in well with also being a busy mom of two boys, ages 1 and 3.
