HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Various "schtuff"

First of all, I just made the most adorable little mini album! It was for my design team duties at The Treasure Box (my local scrapping store), but it's so cute and easy that I'm making one for myself also. After a month of making stuff for the book, this was a welcome little distraction. I'll post pictures this weekend!

Second, my layouts and projects for my book go postal (okay, not through the post office, though, so does that mean they're going UPS-al?) TOMORROW morning! Woooohooo! I'm sad to see them go, but it's also a relief to just have them out of my hands. By the way, the release date on my book got moved to November 2008. Complicated story, but it'll be good. :) So sorry for the additional wait, though. Trust me, I'll be waiting just as impatiently as everyone else! *laugh*

Third, does anyone know of any good kids books (like for toddlers) with lots of pictures of planes? Micah's a bit obsessed of late (gee, wonder where he gets that?) with planes of any sort. He wore a tee shirt with a car on it today and went around making car noises all day and pointing out cars everywhere but kept asking for planes. He prefers things that fly. :) (Yes, need to find more shirts with planes also.)

Okay, that was all for now. :)
