Hi, I'm Cindy, the face behind MemoriesCollector! I have collected Hallmark ornaments for my tree and to decorate my home since I was a teen. A little Hallmark shop in Northeast Portland was my first job in the 1970s and there, I fell in love with Hallmark ornaments, pins, magnets, and Merry Miniatures. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of these darling little characters has I do.

One of my favorite things to do is make photo albums! Creative memories is the only brand I have used for 20 years now. I love their commitment to keeping their products photo safe, acid-free and, well, creative! I was even a consultant for eight years, which is why I have so many extra products to share with you.

Working with Alzheimer residents and now, as a new grandma, I know how important it is to preserve our memories in photos. My adult children and their friends still come over and look at photos of themselves in their youth while laughing and sharing stories; what a treasure!
