about me

here’s everything you could possibly want to know about me. . . or at least what i’m willing to post on a public blog. LOL! -first thing i have a dorky since of humor, and you’ll likely see evidence of that all over this blog :)

 

personal

married: yep, 3 years and counting
kids: none, but i love my niece & nephew to pieces.
i live: in southern california and i love the fact that i’m never too far from the beach.

i'm just a regular girl (or just an average scrapper-if you will :) who loves crafts. i've been scrapbooking since i was 18. i recently started cardmaking, and it has become my hobby of choice. although i do want to get back into scrapping more. i used to be a 12x12 scrapper, i think when i go back i'm going to do 8x8 books, since i've gotten used to working on a smaller scale. none of my friends are as into scrapping as i am, so i love checking out other scrappers blogs and getting to know people who love this hobby as much as i do :)

scrappy favs
brands: basic grey, cosmo cricket,sassafras lass, hero arts, making memories, martha stewart, october afternoon, k&co, echo park and american crafts.
embellishments: rhinestones, ribbon, & flowers
paper: basic grey, cosmo cricket, october afternoon, echo park
tools: fiskars, making memories
stamps: hero arts, inkadinkado, the cats pajamas, lawn fawn

hobbies
making cards & scrapbooks (though i’ve been making a lot more cards than scrapbook pages lately because i haven’t been taking as many pics),
reading- (fav books: the notebook, the wedding, a walk to remember-can you tell i love nicolas sparks?-the entire confessions of a shopaholic series, the twilite saga-TEAM EDWARD, and just about every john grisham novel you can name)
writing
listening to music
watching movies (i have too many fav movies to even start listing them)

random facts & all my little quirks
i dream of. . .
having my own scrapbooking line someday.

you may have noticed. . .
i don’t capitalize words. it’s one of my quirks. it started literally when i was in second grade, i turned in a homework assignment like that and my teacher made me fix it. but i’m grown now, and it’s my blog so everything can be lower case if i want!

fav tv shows. . .
the game, sister sister, i love lucy, the cosby show, community, & the office, because i LOVE jim & pam. they are so cute together.  i love my husband because i have watched the casino episode (season 2 finale where jim finally tells pam he loves her) a million times on netflix, and he never complains.

fav color. . .
pink. like the magenta & hot pink shades. i like bold bright colors, and i loathe pastels. yet oddly enough when making cards i reach for yellow and orange more than pink. . . go figure
