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.

Creating Keepsakes and a GIVEAWAY.

So. I've kind of fallen off the scrapbooking bandwagon for a bit. :( I'll not apologize because I feel in my gut that my rearranged priorities of late (that have me spending more time on homeschooling and trying to lead a healthy lifestyle) are spot on for me and my family right now. 

And, don't despair. I've not stopped altogether. I continue to gather stories and photos and ideas (and, ahem, supplies). One day soon, I really am going to scrapbook some more. Honest. ;) 

In the meantime, I received this little gem in the mail recently:


It's a special issue that Creating Keepsakes has just come out with...featuring the scrappy spaces of scads of designers (including me!). You can find it here. (It officially goes on sale today!) I don't know about you, but I love looking at other people's rooms. Not only do they inspire for scrap-specific solutions, but I've also found ideas that I want to incorporate in other rooms in my home and ideas that will some day end up having inspired specific layouts!

If you'd like a sneak peek of the issue, click here

If you'd like the opportunity to WIN A FREE COPY of the issue, post a comment here by this Thursday. Tell me your favorite thing about your own scrap space and I'll select a winner on Friday the 13th (May 13, 2011). (This is open even to international scrappers!)

If you're anxious to get your hands on a copy and love a deal, use coupon code SPACESBB for free shipping in the US. It expires May 27, 2011.

Enjoy!

Oh, I'd love to win this! My favorite thing about my scrap space is the quilt that my mom made me that inspired the rest of the room to come together. I love walking into my room and feeling happy!
