Debbie Budge is a recent widow and the mother of 8 children. She has had a burning interest in researching her family history since the age of 17 and has been able to trace some of her family lines back to the early years of our country and across the sea to Germany and England. She currently is a co-owner of Kiwi Lane Designs, along with Susan Budge and her daughter, Shiloh Jorgensen. Debbie believes scrapbooking is a natural extension of family history as it both documents the lives of family members, both past and present, and brings their stories to life.
