Scrapbooks, Stamps and Crafts - OH MY!

Aby Garvey and Donna Downey

Our first guest is Aby Garvey a professional organizer who believes getting organized can be creative and fun! She is the co-author of The Organized & Inspired Scrapbooker and a contributor to Simple Scrapbooks magazine. Aby is the co-owner of simplify101 a website that provides online organizing workshops that teach people how to get organized so they can have more fun and get more done. Aby also publishes a free, monthly organizing newsletter and shares her organizing tips (and thoughts on life) via her creative organizing blog.

Our second guest is Donna Downey author of the book series, “Yes, It's a Scrapbook!” She is a craft and paper-product junkie often spending hours walking the aisles of her local office supply, fabric, craft and hardware store just gathering items and ideas on how to turn everything into a scrapbook. As a Craft-Media artist, she enjoys experimenting, blending and transforming both traditional and unexpected items into meaningful pieces of self-expression. Donna enjoys traveling across the globe teaching her workshops, writing books, gathering inspiration, designing, and creating art. Originally from the Jersey shore, she now lives in North Carolina, with her husband Bill and their three children, McKenna, Payton and Cole.
