and of COURSE some CANDEEE to welcome KRISTIN FAUST, one of our BELLARIFIC SCRAPPING BABES! OMG she said YES when I attacked her!! can you believe? LOL

Just take one look at her, as a fellow curly haired sistah and you just can’t help falling in love 🙂

Here’s a little bio and then I will follow with amazing blog candy!

Kristin lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four year old son.  When she is not scrapbooking, she works full time helping children and families at a community health center.  “I wear many hats in my current position and my scrapbooking skills often come in handy when preparing presentations or teaching” Kristin says.

She has been scrapbooking since 2007.  “I started getting involved in scrapbooking because it was the only neutral topic that I could discuss with my boss”.  Since that time, and that job, she has embraced every aspect of this hobby and continues to learn more each day.

Kristin says “I think that I fell hard for scrapbooking because I feel so strongly about documenting all of the little things that I don’t want my heart to forget.  I always try to think about what I would want my family to know if I’m not here tomorrow.  My family won’t care if my page was published but will care if journalins is meaningful and heartfelt.”

Kristin currently designs for Collage Press and her work has been published in Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbook Trends magazine”

Is she cute or WHAT?  Thank you Kristin for saying YES!
