Kristi grew up in Cullman, Alabama. She graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Rehabilitation Services. She and her husband Jeff, also an Auburn graduate, moved to Griffin in June of 1993. Kristi worked at the Griffin Area Resource Center as a Program Manager until the birth of her son, Ethan, in 1996. Kristi decided then that she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. That decision has given her plenty of time to perfect her crafting skills!

Kristi started scrap-booking in 1999. Since then she has attended numerous national scrap booking conventions, classes and is a graduate of Scrapbook Design University (SDU). Kristi is constantly looking for new techniques to incorporate into her scrap-booking and paper crafting. She has taught scrap-booking classes and enjoys sharing her excitement for the craft with others.
