Let
me introduce myself. My name is Barbara. I'm the
owner of OakLeaf Acre. My wonderful husband says I am the
matriarch and inspiration for the Acre. I have devoted full-time
to
creating a unique source for scrappers to share
and find all things scrapping. In my spare time, I enjoy
spending time with my family, scrapping, and in December
2002 I
became a grandmother for the first time. I have
always said, " I
was born to be a grandmother".
I
have had a very close and talented group
of people involved in creating OakLeaf Acre...
my wonderful family.
Larry,
my husband of thirty five years, is a very
gifted
Carpentry Contractor and is responsible for
the construction of the warehouse and office
here on the acre. His willingness to do anything
necessary when called upon has been a great
help in getting up and running on time.
Amy,
our oldest child, is the other scrapper in
the family. She is a scrapbook consultant.
As a former engineer working in the aerospace
industry
she has had the opportunity to travel around
the USA and other parts of the world. The
pictures
she takes on her travels, along with those
of special occasions, have been
turned into many scrapbooks. She has shared
her
experiences on a regular basis
with Scrap
Classes on the OakLeaf Acre site. She
is married to her college sweetheart Rick
and is the mother of Eli and Grace and
Noah our
grandchildren.
Rob,
our oldest son, is the chief designer and
creator of the Acre. Rob has been using
computers
for his design work for over fifteen years
and
has created dozens of web sites for local
as well as national businesses through his
company, Quinton
Chandler Advertising. Rob was
just married
to his wonderful girl, Jennifer, this
spring.
Jeff,
our
youngest son, set up our computer network
and
is our go to guy for technical help. He
has
been working in the computer networking
field
for many years.
He was married this summer (July 10,
2008) to his sweetheart Andrea.
I
must acknowledge the greatest inspiration
and guidance, my relationship with Christ.
He has made all this possible and continues
to give us the strength we need and the direction
for OakLeaf Acre.
