Join us every first Monday of the month from 10 a.m.-noon for a fun and creative time as we preserve memories, share ideas, and make lasting keepsakes. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced scrapbooker, everyone is welcome.

Bring your favorite photos, supplies and creativity - we'll inspire one another while enjoying a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Members should bring their own supplies and projects. If you don't have any supplies, there will be plenty to share.

Members may work on scrapbooks, photo albums, memory books, journaling projects, personalized cardmaking and other paper crafts while socializing and sharing ideas with others. This is not an instructor-led class, but a space to create, collaborate, and enjoy crafting in a welcoming group setting.
