"wannabe artsy" I always say that I'm *creative*, but not *artsy* so sometimes I'm unable to create the pages that are in my head...I don't have that "knack" that some people do. I try though...I love using unconventional products in my layouts and I don't know how to use any kind of embellishment that already has a word or phrase on it...

I have enough time to get in a zone, and I have some intention with what I'm trying to accomplish...I don't do well when I crafting aimlessly.

Sassafras, Cosmo Cricket, AC, Jenni Bowlin, October Afternoon...oh who am I kidding, I love them all!

Vintage magazines for cut out letters, streamers, vintage wallpaper and contact paper, tape products...duct tape, gaffer tape, vinyl striping, paint, sandpaper and those paper edge razor things my MM.

My faith, being a good wife and mom, scrapbooking, being a good person and always doing the right thing, integrity...reality TV, aesthetics (I like things to look good), and comfort...I do not do high heels. (I had to separate the noble things from the shallow things with an ellipsis...HEY, there's a "SIS" in ellipsis! I am so using that for something. That makes me so happy!!!), oh yeah I also might have ADD.

Green...more specifically green-blue right now...it makes me so happy...other favs are orange and red...right now I'm all into yellow, it's really hard to pick favorites...

John Mayer, David Mead, Movie Scores (not soundtracks...the scores are the instrumental music from the movies...see it's meant to enhance the viewing of the movie, not distract from it so it's perfect for scrapbooking...when music has words I tend to want to sing which takes me away from creating sometimes.)

"Gone with the Wind", "Steel Magnolias", "LA Confidential", "Usual Suspects", "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood", oh I know I'm forgetting some big ones...

"The Bible" and "Wuthering Heights"

When Jerri from Survivor Outback got voted off. But I could talk for hours about my favorite RTV moments...I really have some issues with this genre of TV. A lot of people hate it, but I can hardly watch scripted shows anymore. Once "Friends" was gone I went "Reality Only" 'cuz I was like in mourning in stuff...now I watch "Lost", "24" and "Grey's Anatomy", and "the Office"...oh you just wanted to know the one "favorite reality tv moment" thing? Sorry, I am also a little bit of an overtalker...

to live in s quaint, small town where my kids go to a great school, we're involved in a fantastic church, and for one week a month I fly to a location and film a month's worth of Scrap In Style TV episodes for some cable network.

uh...the aforementioned Reality TV maybe? And "US Weekly" magazine, totally...I have to read that thing every week..."People" has become too cerebral for me...

People's goodness...and people who stand up for what they believe in despite the cost...oh yeah and Domino Magazine and Anthropologie. ;)

I'm kind of a character. I know a lot of the perceptions that people have about me and sometimes I like to play into those a little bit. I exaggerate characteristics that I do posses to some extent, but not to the level that people think. It's just kind of funny and I like to make people laugh.

I'm almost always in a good mood, but when I get mad it's not something I hide well...I'm strong willed, too. And controlling and kind of picky about things. Sometimes my standards are too high so I get frustrated...but I've been working on that (a little therapy never hurt anyone).

I think I'm a good friend and fun to be with, although since SIS I don't have as much time to be the kind of friend I want to be to people, and that bums me out.

Ok, this is one MASSIVE nutshell...
