Throughout my life, my faith has been a consistent element. Mac and I truly believe that the Lord brought us together and has provided for us, guided us and inspired us throughout our marriage.

We also believe the Bible is very clear on the importance and power of remembering AND telling the Lord’s praiseworthy deeds in our lives.

When I started making albums at the age of 15, I always tried to include some references about how the Lord was working in my life, but it was sadly incomplete. In February 2000, my life, and my album-making style was changed forever.

That month I was doing a Bible study with my prayer partner Naomi Shedd. When we began discussing how many Old Testament verses compel us to remember God’s divine intervention in our lives, Naomi looked concerned. She showed me several journals that she had written about the amazing stories of answered prayer and the Lord’s guidance in her life. However, she was sad that perhaps these stories would never be read by her children or the next generation. The journals would probably not sound “interesting enough” for others to read.

My response to her was our revelation about Faithbooking. I said, “Naomi, if we could weave stories like you have in your journal in our photo albums, combining the spiritual stories WITH our pictures, the result would be powerful. Our children would look at these albums and benefit from the God stories.” Both Naomi and I felt like the Lord had spoken to us and we began calling this “ new style” of album making, “Faithbooking.”

Little by little we began developing materials; Naomi wrote a book and Creative Memories developed more products.

We hope you find these materials and the Creative Memories products motivating and instructional as you develop your Faithbook albums. As you continue reading through this Web site, you’ll discover the specific verses that motivated Faithbooking and you’ll find comments from other authors and teachers who too have been challenged by the importance of “remembering and telling the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.”
