Bio: Hey there everyone! I'm Shannon. As of now I'm a highschool sophomore living not too far from Charlotte, NC. I've been scrapping for about four years now, and love learning new techniques each day. Looking back at my first albums, I can really tell the difference.

Something people may not know about me is that I struggle daily with Juevenile Rheumatoid Arthritis in almost all of my joints. Because of this, I'm out of school for a while on a program called 'homebound' schooling; having a teacher come out to my house for five hours a week.

I've been away from SJ for a while, and with that has brought a whole new chapter to my life. I'm not afraid to risk sounding silly when I say that I've fallen head over heels in love. He's a sophomore at the best university in the state, as well as our priest's son. He's also the best thing that has ever happened to me; giving me a whole new outlook on life. Our families have adopted each other, and will both tell you that we were meant to be. Getting the respect of adults as far as relationships go is quite the task at this age, Understandably, but somehow, we've defeated the odds and have everyone convinced that this is it for us. There's hope yet! Hehe.

With my small chunk of spare time between "class" and physical therapy, I've recently made the decision to start a non-profit organization called Shannon's Scraps of Hope. Please ask me about it and how you can get involved.
