specialty: Hoarding lovely scrappies like the pack rat I am!

My style is...
All ovah the place eclectic!
Still growing...
But I often find myself channeling my inner Kerry Lynn, with the vintage SHABulousness! I know she's in there.

My best scrapping is done when...
When I am free of guilt!
That means no other current scrappy obligations, or housework nagging at me. I have to do at least one household chore before I can even think about scrapping.
It's a good thing changing a TP roll doesn't take very long.

And my scrap table has to be clean. I MUST clean up the previous project mess, even if I'm going to use some of the same supplies, before I can begin a new one.
'Tis a sickness. I know.

My favorite manufacturers are...
Oh where to start...

My favorite non-essential scrapbook supply is...
I'd say the sewing machine, but I have issues threading the thing. So it's not really my favorite.
I believe it would have to be my collection of found objects. Meaning... trash. But it's my trash!

I am passionate about...
My family and friends are a given, of course.
But I am also passionate about learning and growing. Finding my place in this world.
As a mother. As a wife.
As a daughter. As a sibling.
As a friend. As an artist.
As a woman.
I've reached that age where all of this is of utmost importance.

Whoa. That was deep.

Favorite color...
Can Pottery Barn and Mary Englebreit count as colors?

I like to scrapbook while listening to/watching...
Whatever music fits my needs at that particular time.
*Goa/Psychedelic Trance (or "coding" music, as my DH calls it) for when I need to whip something out real quicklike.
*Classical/LotR soundtrack for when I'm working on something deep and sentimental.
*Disco/Dance/Hip Hop for when I'm not really in the mood to scrap but just want to be in my space. It's good cleanin' & shaking mah groove thing music.
*Latin/Salsa (or "oopma oopma" music, as my DH calls it) for when I have to stand on my feet for a long period of time. Then I can salsa/cumbia/mambo/merengue with my bottom half whilst working with my top half. It's all about the multi-tasking.
*Indie/Folkylike sing along music for when I'm just feelin' the mellow mojo and I want to sing it out.

This list could go on forever... but you get the jist.

This is me in a nutshell...
"Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this bloody great big nutshell? What kind of shell has a nut like this?"

Yes. I did go there.
