A Bit about Me

Ahhhh....this page is finally complete!  Thanks to a little motivation over on the Bo Bunny blog!
I tend to be a rather private person, so I think that is why it has taken me a while to put this page together.  I have been rather good procrastinating don't you think?!

First off, I am going to introduce my family.  This is Danny! We will have been married 6 years this September and we are looking forward to celebrating our special day.  We met in church. He gave me his business card.  I emailed him.  We went on our first date.  And the rest is history!

We don't have any children, but we have a big ol' paint horse named Woody.  He is my husband's pride and joy.  He is also his stress release...kind of like scrapping is for me.  I totally get his need for horsing around and he gets my need for scrapping!

I have two totally adorable nieces and they tend to be the focus of many of my scrapbook layouts as you will notice!

 

 

We recently moved to a small river town in Illinois because my husband got a new job.  I was fortunate enough to find a new job as well working as a physical therapist with the local hospital.  I work full time and dream of one day going part time to have more time to scrap, workout, travel and cook.

Some random tidbits about me...I love Dr. Pepper, Mexican Food and Pasta!  I enjoy working out and lately have gotten back into a modified usage of P90X!  I love to read science fiction and just recently finished reading number 8 of the Dresden Files. I can't wait to read the next one!  I love to travel, but don't get to very often. My favorite place is anywhere with a beach and the ocean.  I would also really love to go to Italy with Danny to see Rome and Assisi. I have been there and he as been there, but we have never been there together and we both really loved it. So, maybe some day!

I have been scrapping for about 15 years now thanks to a wonderful friend of my who got me started all those years ago!  Thanks Carrie!!! We are still friends and love to get together as often as we can to scrapbook and visit.

I am not sure that I can define my style.  I have always struggled with that.  I tend to have more clean, straight lines, but any more than that and I start to have trouble!  I love color!  I love texture!  And I love working with my hands!  I love trying new techniques and products!  The products are usually what inspire me to create whatever it is that I make whether it be a card, a scrapbook layout or an altered object/home decor item.

So that's it for now!  I hope you enjoyed reading a bit more about me!
