Scrapbook.com is a family owned business located in Mesa, AZ; a creative oasis in the center of a sun-scorched desert.

It all began in 2001 during the downward spiral of the first internet craze. Jill Davis had raised her children and decided to spend her new-found free-time to do something big. She had been scrapbooking for over 25 years and loved it and the meaning and joy it gave her life. She decided to share her scrapbooking passion with others...and maybe turn it into a business. And so, with no outside capital and no loans, she jumped in feet first and started Scrapbook.com out of her home office, pulling 12-18 hour days, six days a week.

What a business it has become. Scrapbook.com grew into a thriving, profitable family business in the wake of the dotcom crash. It now employs Jill's three sons (a former Goldman Sachs analyst, a professional singer, and a current college student) and 22 others. The company is one of the largest and fastest growing scrapbooking sites online and touches lives throughout the world. Jill's story is one of passion, optimism and perseverance.

Jill said, "Preserving memories is no small matter. I was driven to create an online resource that would serve scrapbookers worldwide. You can understand this feat even better when you know that I flunked my college computer class a few years earlier. Through sheer determination, exhaustion and overcoming a lot of frustration I have realized my dream."

Our mission is to guide people through the memory preservation process and to keep them motivated to document life through:

• Providing the products they need at the right price
• Supporting them through education
• Inspiring them through creative outlets such as galleries, forums and blogs
• Giving them a home on the web where they can connect with Scrapbookers worldwide
