I've always been a crafter and it has taken on many forms throughout my life but my main crafting hobby has always been scrapbooking or memory keeping. I am passionate about preserving life's memories before they fade away and it doesn't hurt to have something pretty to look at as well. I began traditional scrapbooking in 1997 but even before that I would add the stories to my photo books. Kind of an old school Project Life-type approach. I continued scrapbooking and around 2008 took it digital. I even designed and sold digital scrapbooking kits, but I put that aside to have more time to be the family memory keeper. With two growing boys, there have been a lot of great memories to keep. For that, I am truly blessed. In 2014 I decided to delve back into traditional scrapbooking and am IN LOVE with making mini albums now too. They are fun, creative, and a fast way to document the every day.
Here are a few things about me:
- The name Sweet SarahFinn is actually a combination of my name Sarah and that of my loveable labrador, Finn. I think it's a fun play on words. Said together it sounds close to "seraphim", the angels of the Lord.
- Crafting is like therapy for me. I need it.
- While I no longer create digital scrapbook kits, I still dabble in digital items. I create custom invitations, party decor, and home decor. You can learn more about that at my digital design blog, Little Birdie Digital Designs or visit my Etsy shop.
- You can find more of my projects on that blog too. I just decided at one point that I wanted to keep everything separate.
- I used to work as an accountant. People often found it odd that I liked to craft but I think the two mix well together.
- I love to cook, read, and enjoy the great outdoors but I'm not into camping.
- I'd love to take better pictures and am interested in learning more about photography.
- I love healthy eating and clean living and am always looking to learn more about both.
- I'm into mixed media and love finding time to dabble in it
