My name is Xiomara better known as Margie Overman living in the sunny Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. I'm an enthusiastic Digital Photographer and Designer.

It's so much fun to be an Educator and see all the students get excited when they work on their projects and when they see their final results they are so happy and more eager to learn more exciting techniques.

Jennifer Priest
I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years, teaching for 7 and I just love every aspect of the craft-- the sharing, the friendships, getting my fingers inky, the enjoyment of my family when they look through our books, and the therapeutic value of "creating". I have two kids, ages 11 and 3, and a wonderfully supportive (and sometimes scrappy) husband. Five years ago I became a "mostly" stay-at-home mom -- I do work from home though my scrapbooking classes. I have two B.A.s and a Master's Degree, am a veteran of the Army, was an Arabic Linguist, and do volunteer work through Girl Scouts and other organizations. I love comedy, reading, and baking.I am currently on several design teams as well as an endorsed educator for serval top manufacturers.I love bold colors, silly accents, and household items like buttons, twine, and fabric...anything crafty, count me in!
