About Me

My photo
MariLynn
Memphis, Missouri, United States
I've been married to my Best Friend for 34 years. I have four kids, 2 sons -in-law and 5 wonderful grandchildren. I am a born again Christian. I love to create things especially out of paper. I also love photography. I always wonder how people came up with the titles of their blogs, so I thought I would share with you the story behind mine. My title for my blog comes from living along the Mississippi river, and from my friends on Splitcoast Stampers. They call me McGyver. I don't have a lot of money to buy the fancy stamping supplies, so I make do with what I have... hence the nickname McGyver.
