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.

Little brother & an Asher layout...

DateFriday, March 28, 2008 at 02:31PM

First off, happy, happy birthday to my baby brother, Joe! He's 25 today. Here's a picture of him with the boys back in September 2006 (yes, I have more recent photos, but I like this one):

Also, it was pointed out to me that last week I shared some layouts but none of them featured Asher. ;) In my defense, that was because I'm more caught up with Asher's albums than with the other two so have been doing more pages for Micah and Noah's books lately to try to even things out. But, I don't think I shared this one that I did for Creative Impressions back in February for CHA:

These pictures are from just this past December and I love all the Creative Impressions goodies used here (the felt snowflakes are seriously awesome!). Also so happy with that Fontwerks stamp font used for the title!

Okey-dokey. Need to go run a bunch of errands now. First soccer games of the season tomorrow!
