Hi! I’m Jill Sprott (which rhymes with “vote” — and as a reminder, please do!). I’ve been obsessed with paper and storytelling all my life — I’ve got the journals, the house full of books (including scrapbooks), and the job as an English teacher to prove it. I was born and raised on Oahu, Hawai’i, where I live with my family, a canine/feline/human mix (it’s all kind of blurry). I’ve been scrapbooking for nearly two decades now — clearly, this love is for keeps. Whenever I’m asked why I scrapbook, I offer up the same defense that Robert Frost gave for why poetry matters: it is “a way of remembering that which it would impoverish us to forget.”
