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.

OUT ON A LIMB, week 5...

Dude. It’s Thursday again already! Okay, if you're on the west coast, it's not technically Thursday yet, but I'm up and figured I'd mark this off my to do list early. Also, I’m gonna be up front here and state that it is highly probable that I will not post any more layouts until the new year…too many holiday projects vying for my attention. I was hopeful but it’s come to the point where I have to be realistic *laugh*. Sorry! (And if I do manage to find time to post some, it’ll just be that much sweeter, right?)

But. I still have challenges for those of you who actually got your “schtuff” done in advance. (One day I aspire to be like you.) Or, if you’re like me, challenges for you to simply ponder during this holiday time and come back to later. :) This week’s challenge…create a layout about your loved one using a poem…one that touches you, one that makes you think of your loved one, one that your loved one particularly enjoyed, one that you wrote, etc.

As an alternative (if you don’t want to work on a layout focusing on a loved one), simply challenge yourself to use a poem…any poem…on your layout. I know, for myself, I often notice little poems or quotes and think to myself that they’re so appropriate but then inevitably neglect to include them on my work. I even have a spot where I jot these down for future use, just haven’t actually *used* them.

Okay, off to get some of these projects tackled...meanwhile, stay warm and have fun!
