BOISE, Idaho Jacki Kelsch turned her love of scrapbooking into a non-profit organization that makes memory books for those who have lost loved ones. I ve been crafting ever since I could hold scissors, you know. I ve just always been a scrapbooker, I started in the third or fourth grade. I became disabled about 14 years ago, and couldn t work any longer. I ve never been a person who could sit down and not do anything, Kelsch said. I always have to be busy. So, I decided to take my love of scrapbooking and give to others.
