About Me

Marie Farson

I started scrapbooking while living overseas in Brussels, Belgium with my DH who is US Navy and was assigned to NATO. We have 5 children: 21 yr, 17 yr, 13 yr old twins and 9 yrs old. In Belgium, enjoyed getting together with my other American friends for a fun morning/afternoon/evening of scrapping and chatting so much, that I signed on as a Close To My Heart consultant and loved every minute of it! After a brief training period in the US we were sent to Libya. In February 2011 my family was evacuated from Libya, along with other American families from the US Embassy. We are now living in the Washington DC area, awaiting news of our next adventure. I am sure that wherever it takes us, I’ll be sharing my love of scrapbooking and cardmaking with the many new friends I’ll meet there!
