April Massad

Hi! My name is April Massad and I'm a full time mommy to my son Brodey! He just turned 4 in January of 2010! I live in Tahlequah, Oklahoma! My husband is a dentist in Muskogee. Before staying home with Brodey full time I owned a photography studio in my hometown. When Eric started dental school we had to move and I had to close the studio. Photography is a passion of mine and always has been. When the time is right for our family I will open another studio.
I have scrapbooked for at least 10 years now. I started out like most people with stickers, construction paper, and Elmer's glue! It was a way for me to tell my story through my photos! Scrapbooking means so much more to me today. It's not just something I do to preserve memories. It is my "me" time! It's my total creative outlet! I have always loved being creative and getting my hands dirty and scrapbooking fulfills all of those needs for me! It's the perfect hobby...or should I say obsession?
I also love passing my obsession on to others! I love to teach scrapbook classes at my local scrapbook stores! Most of my classes center around techniques and stamping.
Well that's just a little bit about me! Feel free to follow the links below to learn more about me on my blog and to see my work!
Thanks for stopping by!
