About the Author
Jill Haglund, owner, operator, and Executive Director of TweetyJill Publications, thinks of herself as an artist first and a publisher second. She is enthusiastic about inspiring others and providing ideas to scrapbookers and beyond. Her love for memories, photography, books, and art is what has given her the passion over the last ten years for TweetyJill Publications. TweetyJill sprouted its wings in 1996 with its first book, The Complete Guide to Scrapbooking. This how-to book caused overnight success for the company as one of the first instructional guides in the scrapbooking community, and sold over 150,000 copies. The Idea Book for Scrapbooking and Scrapbooking for Kids (ages 1 to 100) were released shortly after, and rivaled in sales. TweetyJill has published 15 books since, and currently offers 10 active titles, with new books being released every year.
