Hello and Welcome to Finding Sunshine. I’m
Jessica Barnes. I am currently living in
the Northern Virginia area. I am lucky
enough to be a part of an amazing family of four. I’m married to a wonderfully supportive man
who encourages my crazy craft obsession.
I have two gorgeous girls. My
oldest daughter is five and my youngest is two. I love watching them each grow and their
personalities evolve.
During the
day, I work full time as a commercial interior designer. While I love what I do, the best part of my
day hands down is getting to pick my kids up from daycare/school. I love seeing the smiles on their faces when
I walk through the door. We have only
lived in the NOVA/DC area for two years, so you can find us doing a lot of
exploring on the weekends being tourists.
When we are not out exploring, we love quiet weekends at home watching a
movie, reading, playing games or just hanging out.
I have been
scrapbooking for about fifteen years, some years doing far more than other
years. My main scrapbooking topics
involve my family and the random things that we do and see. I don’t tend to scrapbook to many holidays or
birthdays. I just find it easier and
more fun to do the other things. I
started scrapbooking in high school when I returned from a mission trip. Upon my return, I had to give presentations
on what we had learned and did on the trip.
I wanted a way to show people my pictures, preserve my own memories and
relay the stories at the same time. In
walks scrapbooking to my life. After
that there was no stopping me, I was hooked.
Though my style as improved and changed since then, I still love looking
through my first scrapbook. I love
preserving the memories of our family.
Last year, I took on project life for the first time and fell in love
with the process. It allows me to tell
some of the smaller day to day stories that I wouldn’t normally scrapbook.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you stay, look around and enjoy!
Have a great day.

Jessica
