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.

And while I'm at it...

DateTuesday, April 7, 2009 at 12:04PM

Just three other awesome scrappy things to share...

1. Don't forget to check out Prism Paper's blog, okay? Lots of fun projects!! (Mine included, hee hee.) Here's a sneak:

2. Lots of awesomeness going on over at Little Dreamer. I'm particularly excited about Tiffany Tillman's new templates! Such an easy way to ease my way into digi scrapping!

3. It's probably something y'all have known for ages, but my friend Heather's recent blog post opened my eyes and provided a solution to something I've been thinking about lately...how to label my albums on the spines. I love how easy this is...just a binder clip and a tag. Woohoo! Guess what I'll be doing this weekend, lol! Love the rest of her work also!!

Okay, that was it. Don't forget to see my post below from just a few minutes ago. ;) I added all those Lists of Me layouts to my gallery here, too. Happy Tuesday to you!

I'm so glad you posted your lists. Ever since you blogge about listology, I've been creating my own weekly lists. Some include groceries (what I went for and what I came home with), sports I've tried, things around my home now that I've made, places I've ridden a horse (5), possible things to do over spring break....
It's been so interesting. My husband helped me with a LONG list of activities involving the water or boating. I was amazed how many we could remember. Thanks for posting.
