ABOUT WENDY

A pioneer in the scrapbooking industry since the mid-1990s, Wendy Smedley is a passionate advocate for the importance of creative pursuits. As a mother of five boys and an avid crafter, memory keeper, and reader, she adores anything—smartphone included—that makes her life a little easier so she can focus on what's important. She is the co-author (with Aby Garvey) of the bestselling scrapbooking organization book, The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker, and the author of three additional books about memory keeping.
