We have 4 beautiful children. Madalyn (9) Miles (6) Dawson (5) Delaney (4). TOTALLY busy with our kids and their events! We have a boxer named Otto who adds lots of laughs to our household and farts! My son, Dawson got fish in October and one was pregnant so we had baby fish who have made it pretty far. Kind of neat to share that with my crew!
4. Where is home for you? Home is Wisconsin. My family came from Germany to Dale, WI.back in the 1800′s. And this area is where my parents grew up and I see myself growing old. We shall see what happens. I have 4 kids to stay close to. I WILL do anything to continue our relationship even after they are grown.
5. What are your 3 favorite foods? Right now anything healthy is my favorite. I have been on a weightloss journey since Feb 2011 and have lost 53 pounds. I love finding healthy alternatives that taste GOOD! I love ice cream but it always gives me gut rot so I don’t have it often!

7. Snacks…Salty or Sweet? Salty. Popcorn
8. Beverage of choice? Water. I drink a LOT of it!
9. What’s your least favorite food? Liver and Onions ACK! Seafood. The texture freaks me out!
10. PC or Mac? What program do you use? PC all the way. My husband is a Web Designer/Computer Programer and is a PC guy. I don’t know if he even LET me have a mac at the house. I have heard wonderful things about macs tho. I use PS5 for graphic designing and scrapping. I use Lightroom for my photography stuff. I am spoiled!!!
11. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started? 2008 Don’t remember how I got started. But with 4 kids paper scraping was a NIGHTMARE and I didn’t find much time to get everything OUT to scrap with it. I LOVE Digi-land!
12. What was your 1st LO about? My kids. Surprise. Surprise.
13. Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)? Photography and Fitness.
14. What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you? Journaling. I really should do more of it. It will help up remember more about our LIFE events!
15. What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking? Always looking for way to better my photography. I love to knit too. Oh. Forgot to add that to the hobby list but I research that at times too. I have a guitar too I would love to learn out to play better!
16. What are your favorite movies/TV shows? Criminal Minds/Biggest Loser/The Walking Dead/Raising Hope/Office/Modern Family/Impractical Jokers (so funny)
17. Describe your “scrapping” environment. Music? TV in the background? Drinks? Snacks? Where? We have PCs all over the house. (comes from having a computer husband) Mama’s computer is in the dinning room where I can see the living room/bedrooms/etc. The placement is sweet from my view. I can get stuff done and keep an eye on all the little monkeys running around here. Music is a given. Sometimes there is snacks. I normally only get little bits of time so I would call my scrapping environment as STOP and GO!
18. If you only had 2 elements to use on a LO, what would they be? Scallops. I LOVE THEM. And….hmmmmmmmmm….whimsical element. I am all about whimsical
19. Would you like to share a little known fact about you…? I was born 2.5 months premature and weighed 3lbs. in the 70′s. The fact that I am here and healthy is only God’s will. I am thankful to have this wonderful life I live!
20. Can you tell us a little about your scrappin’ style? I would say my scrapping style is Simple. I don’t like a lot to take away from the photos themselves. Does that make sense?
21. Favorite LOs that you have done?
Love that this one is about ALL of my kids. I am working on a book for ME. I make a scrapbook and print at shutterfly for my kids each year. But Mama needs one too. And I am going to try and group photos of them at the same age to scrap with. It is work to look through all the photos but I think the outcome is going to be amazing!
Simple. And the photo tells the story. This is my style in a nutshell.
This one is about all my favorites! MY MONKEYS/MY KNITTING/MY SCRAPPING!
22. What is your favorite part of being a member of the ScrapMatters Girls? I love learning more and more about the girls on the team. I love getting to see all the layouts and different styles of scrapping out there! The rewards are wonderful too, of course!
Thanks so much, Trisha, for sharing with us!! And thanks to Melissa (missi_me) and Sandra (sberkan) for interviewing these ladies!
