THE NITTY GRITTY
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 4...

DateThursday, December 6, 2007 at 12:52AM

Thursday again! Ready for another OUT ON A LIMB challenge? Good. Given the holiday season, this week’s challenge is to think of a gift you’d give your loved one this holiday season if he/she were here to receive it. I’ve got a layout in mind for this one, but haven’t finished it yet (sorry!)…will post here when I do!

Alternately (or additionally), do a layout about a gift this year that you’re excited to GIVE. I’m loving seeing all the layouts about wish lists (especially kids’ wish lists! Totally going to do some of those soon…), but got to thinking that we rarely celebrate the giving. Let’s change that up! Why not do a layout about a gift you’ve got for someone and why you chose it?

That’s it. :) Due to the holidays, I’m guessing many of us are more swamped than usual. Please, though, do let me know if you do the challenge...or even just that it inspires you but you haven't tackled it yet. I love hearing your stories!
