Hello,
I'm Isabel, (also known as Itsybel, Itsymama, Abuela, Mom & Honey) -- I am the owner and custom scrapbook designer for Isabel's Homemade Memories which began in September 1993 out of my love for scrapbooking, genealogy, and my dream of wanting to help others preserve their photos and memories at a price that everyone could afford. My dream grew into my Scrapbook Retail Store & Custom Scrapbook Design Service.
I am a wife, daughter, mommy to 3, step-mom to 2, sister to 2, Grandma/Abuela to 7, and friend to many . . . so I know how special it is to have family and friends look through my albums, learning the stories behind the people they see in the photos and how they are an important part of who I am today. In addition to the layouts in my Photo/Layout Gallery showcasing my scrapbook design skills and style; it also introduces you to my family and friends that I cherish dearly.
Knowing how busy one's life can get--leaving you with no energy at the end of the day to preserve your own photographs and memories; means they end up in shoeboxes or remain in their developer packets in a drawer or closet, eventually getting lost with the memories that are so special. That's why I am so passionate about my Custom Scrapbook Design Service -- because, everyone should pass their memories & heritage to their loved ones; not the boxes & envelopes of unidentified photographs and forgotten memories they currently have.
Scrapbooking is just one of my many pastimes . . . I also love to crochet prayer/comfort shawls & afghans for those needing them . . . I'm also a quilter, love working in my flower gardens filled with both flowers & veggies, going fishing with my hubby, as well as any and all handmade crafts. I especially love the time I spend with my family and friends.
Well, now that you know a little about me . . . I hope it's helped you feel more comfortable in hiring me to be your personal designer in preserving your family's photographs, memories & history. I'm looking forward to meeting, getting to know you and your family through your photos & memories as I preserve them in your own family scrapbook album.
Sincerely,
Isabel
