AKAMo
Hmmmmmm..34. Recently moved back to Iowa. We lived in Mesa, Arizona for 9 years. I hated the heat. I hated the bland colors of everything there. I hated seeing sun every friggen day from sun up to sun down. I hated having no rain. ever. So, we come back to Iowa and WTH.. the worst winter ever. I am a licensed nurse, but i kinda set myself into retirement. I started working part-time for our LSS Scrapaganza and I also apprentice with a wedding photographer. I like to eat lunch... kabow. Yup, I love Lunch. I read a lot. Currently I am on a literary diet of English historical fiction. I am one of the last survivors of a diminishing breed of smokers. I drink a lot of coke. I hit a drive-thru at least once a day for a caffinated, carbonated, icy beverage. I enjoy taking photographs. I am no where near as good as I strive to be. I have a nice camera, but I cant figure the Da*m thing out.
(fyi) The avatar is from CKU and it was moments before i got into a scrap fight, um, yeah, a real knock-down match b/w me and a HOF'er. All of this during a dance-off (contest).. And a scrapbooking event nonetheless! YUP. In the end we had a blast, and i was a bit sore from being taken out, and she was still a HOF'er..BRAT. Oh and I have a sailor's mouth.. IRL, of course. Thank goodness for website censorship, no?
my family consists of...
Jeff (husband), beautiful Bella (6)and a wild, crazy toddler, Cadyn (19m). I have 3 really, really bad dogs. No more creatures in this house, 4 or 2 legged.
I feel most creative when...
Really, I always have an idea in my head, so I think I always feel creative. I would love to create all the time, BUT..The issue is finding the time to do something about it. Oh People do it all the time, yeah I know, juggle work, family, house etc. but, me... i am way dramatic.
my favorite scrapbooking products are...
My pen and my heart. I MUST journal. As long as i can get my thoughts into words, The page will be okay.
my favorite color is...
brown, monkey brown.
I scrapbook because...
I like to write. I like to create. I dont always express myself well..or at least, i always end up putting my foot in my mouth and saying some of the stupidest things. So , thinking about stuff and then getting to create around it, makes my heart smile. Of course I do it for my kids, they are my reason for life on earth. But, It ALSO feels good to steal moments away to be creative. It feels so good to do something that make me happy. It feels great doing something for myself. I am selfish scrapper, that I am.
the best song in the world is...
Insatiable by Prince
my favorite movie quote is...
I want more; Claudia from Interview with a Vamp.
I almost couldn't live without...
Not almost... DEFINITLY could NOT live without and icy cold COKE.
