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.

I love crops.

DateSaturday, April 18, 2009 at 10:34PM

Happy sigh. Home again from an awesome all day crop. :) I had a blast!! Learned about Glimmer Mist from the experts (gonna definitely play with that and hopefully post some projects soon!), managed to finish 17 layouts (yes, I pre-plan stuff like crazy, LOL), had a crazy good time chatting and shopping with friends, and finished out the night having dinner with three Lisa's. :) We were sad our Cheyenne pals weren't able to plow themselves out of the snow up there but thankful that our own moisture stayed in rain form. Pooped now. Will try to photograph layouts and such tomorrow or the next day (need decent light and it's been pretty overcast of late, lol)...

Hope your weekend's off to as lovely a start as mine!

17 layouts?! Wow! That is impressive! I worked on ONE this weekend and I will totally be changing it because it just isn't working! LOL!
