2.What is your main job/career?
I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom and love it! I’ve been home now for almost 10 years. Wow!

3.Are you married/children/pets?
I’ve been married to my best friend for 12 years now. We have 5 beautiful children. Pets or pests? Oh, gotcha! Yes, we have two dogs – 1 of which I truly adore, Hot Lips, and 1 which would be the later, Titan.

4.Where is home for you?
We live in the big ‘ole state of Texas out in the country. I think I was misplaced and should have been born in New England, but can’t seem to find my way back. Really, I’ve never been to New England, but it’s my dream to go there someday.

5.What are your 3 favorite foods?
Anything Greek
Fajitas from Uncle Julio’s
Ice Cream! (yes, even in the Winter!)

6.What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Peanut Butter ‘n Chocolate from Baskin Robbins

7.Snacks…Salty or Sweet?
Both – together of course! Chocolate covered peanuts, French fries and ice cream. Why are we talking about food? It’s almost the New Year! Time for a resolution! Haha!

8.Beverage of choice?
Caramel Macchiato – homemade or straight from Starbucks. I’ve learned to make them perfectly at home, so it’s harder to justify the $4.33 anymore. I’ve even done a LO of it!

10.PC or Mac? What program do you use?
PC – Mac? I wish! I’m using PSE7.0, but haven’t quite taken to it yet, from PSE6 – the actions are different.

11.How long have you been digi-scrapping?
Almost 6 months. I started in July.

12.What was your 1st LO about?
My first layout was about our trip to Branson, Missouri.

13.Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)?
Now that I’m a Nikonian, I’ve gotten back into photography. Some say those are related, but I think they are much different forms of art!

14.What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you?
Trying to narrow down the number of photos I want to use.

15.What would you like to learn to do (or do better) not related to scrapbooking?
Going back to photography (remember, they aren’t related!) I would love to learn to compose my photos well and get out of automatic mode.

16.What are your favorite movies/TV shows?
Well, don’t laugh, but we don’t have TV here, so I usually watch things via the family computer from online or DVDs. My favorites are Little House on the Prairie, Survivor, and The Office.

17.Describe your “scrapping” environment. Music? TV in the background? Drinks? Snacks? Where?
Sometimes I’ll turn on one of my favorites (see above) and just have it going in the background and sit at my desk. But, if I haven’t seen it before, I’ll be on the couch with my laptop (now that I have a tiny EHD!). Hubby works nights, so most of the time I stay up way too late scrapping!

18.If you only had 2 elements to use on a LO, what would they be?
Probably buttons and a flower (even on my boy LOs. I have 4 boys and 1 girl, gotta squeeze those flowers in wherever I can get them!

19.Would you like to share a little known fact about you…?
I’ve given birth to my last 3 children at home (2 in the water). Yes, on purpose!

20.Can you tell us a little about your scrappin’ style?
I love templates! I use them on almost every LO. Is that a handicap? I also use the color within my photos to pull my LOs together in most cases. Usually I’ve already picked a title before I started the LO, so I have an idea of where I want to go with it.

21.Favorite LOs that you have done?
That was hard. I think my scrapping has really progressed since I’ve been hanging out at SM! Must be all the awesome LOs in the gallery that have inspired me so!
