Our staff absolutely loves what they do and it shows, they are always willing and eager to help you so just ask.

   LYNN PRICE, OWNER:

Lynn is excited to be the new owner of Creative Gatherings. She began scrapbooking about 10 years ago when her son Eric was only two. She still remembers buying her first issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine and becoming instantly hooked. Her motto: "I have to have it all".

When Lynn is not scrapbooking or taking care of store business, she is a high school math teacher. She has been teaching for 20 years now and still loves that each year is a fresh start full of new students, ideas and fun. 

Thankfully, she also has a very supportive family who understands how busy it can  be at times juggling the store and school. Her son Eric is her pride and joy. Her husband Matt is the love of her life and her best friend. He has also become the store's maintenance man - what a good guy!

Lynn admits to a few secret passions: QVC, General hospital, a glass of merlot, margarita's with Vicki and Jenn - and, of course, chocolate (that's not much of a secret).

   VICKI SULLIVAN, MANAGER:

Vicki started scrapbooking at the early age of 11 and still has her early work to look back at (construction paper, magazine clippings and teachers stickers).

She worked 10 years for a utility company and then 4 years at a baseball training facility and was happy to land at Creative Gatherings in the most "perfect job" ever!!!. She says  she loves working at a scrapbook/stamp store, especially being surrounded by a wonderful boss, great co-workers, her best friend (Jenn), fun customers and who is she kidding all the great supplies.

 

Vicki is so happy to share her passion and hobby with her mother, they crop a lot together. Being able to go to scrapbooking conventions is one of her favorite things to do. Aside from scrapbooking, some of her other favorites are spending time with family and friends, DISNEY!, prickly pear margaritas (ok, most all margaritas) and country music.

JENN BODNAR, SALES CLERK EXTRAORDINAIRE:

Jenn has been scrapbooking for about 12 years now, her sister-in-law, Shannon, is the one who got her started on the hobby and she just LOVES IT!

She says the best job she could ever want is working at Creative Gatherings, her other jobs were working in law firms, how boring was that. She met great people but it just wasn't the right thing for her. Jenn also sells Mary Kay cosmetics which she says is great because she loves makeup, however, she has found what she loves to do, SCRAPBOOKING. Her family built her a scrapbooking room in the basement and that is where you can find her most of the time.  She just loves to sit in her room and scrap, although she says you'll find her just sitting and looking around at all her stuff. YIKES....

Jenn has met some wonderful scrapbooking celebs, gone to awesome shows, been published in a magazine (Ivy Cottage) and even met her best friend, Vicki, since working at Creative Gatherings.

  JAN RANDOLPH, STAMP COORDINATOR:

Jan has been a crafter most of her life. She has taught everything from pottery to stained glass to fabric painting. She was introduced to rubber stamping about 11 years ago and that has certainly changed her life.

She has traveled all over the USA attending stamping conventions and learning techniques from all over the country. About 4 years ago she was dared to go to a "crop" even though she did not like scrapbooking. The rest, they say, is history. She especially loves Iris Folding and layering, using Outlines and Holly Berry stamps. She loves incorporating rubber stamping into scrapbooking layouts. She is always anxious to work with new products and learn new techniques and she feels blessed to have the opportunity to share her love for both stamping and scrapbooking with others.
