Hi! I'm Tracey Odachowski, and I am live in Virginia with my husband Chris and our two children, Gabe (8) and Emily (4). I've been scrapbooking for nearly eight years; it is my stress reliever!!! My greatest joy in scrapbooking was my induction into the 2007 Scrapbook Hall of Fame. I also work full time as a Nurse Staff Development Educator for the eight critical care units in our hospital.

I've used Fiskars products every since I began scrapbooking - my first purchase was their paper cutter, and I own way too much more of their products! I also ADORE the Heidi Grace line - I love how it is feminine and fun! The papers went so well with this picture of my beautiful stepmother, Bette, who unfortunately passed away after her short battle with cancer just days after I created this layout. It means so much to me to share this tribute of her with the Fiskars community.
