On the personal side... A bit of history

PaperCents.com was started almost 2 years ago. I fell in love with my Wishblade and wanted to sell them (I actually didn't until 6 or 7 months later). I started with enough products to fit on a shelf in a walk-in closet, just SEI & Making Memories...

Now, I have filled that closet and an entire other bedroom. I'm not sure where I'm going to put all these new products I've ordered.

I need a couple of weeks off to get everything better organized, for sure. One day soon I'll have to post some pictures of my storage or lack thereof. Maybe I can even get some tips from you! I am working on a hanging file system for all the new paper that's coming in.

A bit about me... I graduated from Florida International University in 1997 with a business degree in MIS. I have worked as a computer consultant and programmer since then. I love web design, graphics and other creative aspects of my work, but lately have been working more on logic and really techie stuff. So, I use PaperCents.com as my creative outlet. I've given up on trying to explain my font obsession to my co-workers! (I have to head over to the Marketing department for that.)

I've been married for 9 years and have two kids, Isabel 5 and Ryan 2. My husband is from Panama, so we took some portraits of the kids in native dress (called apoyera) a couple of months ago at the Fairchild Gardens Mango Festival. I've included a few of the pictures in this post.

Scenic Route is here!

Well, most of it is. The rest is coming very soon! Check out the beautiful new lines from Scenic Route: Ashville & Sumner! I just love Scenic Route's double-sided cardstock and the beautifully coordinating embellishments! Their scrap strip papers are a great way to buy a variety of patterns for backing and accents on a page.
