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.

Just quick...

Creating Keepsakes' December issue is now up online! I received mine in the mail yesterday and must say that it's got some fabulous ideas in there, folks!

With the December issue comes the end of my Album in a Year column. Thank you, thank you for joining me throughout the year! It's been a great experience and I'm loving having my album complete. Not to worry, though, I'm not going anywhere. Join me in 2009 with a new little column that (in my opinion, lol) is just as fun... ;)

Oh, and you can find all of the instructions, title blocks and sketches in the CK archives and here on my blog. (I've posted the layouts, themselves, in my Gallery here as well.) I just added December and the album wrap up pages (title and end pages to finish off your album). Enjoy!

I'm a little behind on this project ( the last page I made was for september) but I know my album will be finished at the end of the year ! It's a good thing ! generally, I give up the long-term projects before the end.
It was a great experience !

congrats on your new book !
can't wait to see your new column !!!
