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.

Happy NSD!

Yup, today's National Scrapbooking Day!! Hooray! Course, I'll be spending it at two soccer games and an extra soccer practice (and did I mention that it's drizzly right now and due to rain later?), plus getting groceries and other various errands to get ready for our company in the coming two weeks (Nathan's mom will be here tomorrow for a week and then his cousin will be staying with us the week after that...rather excited about both visits!).

So. Since I'm unlikely to get any scrappy time in today, here's hoping that at least some of you do! :) And, because I recently did some more purging, I'll do a little giveaway of miscellaneous supplies (some older, some newer, but all fun...sorry I don't have a picture but, to be honest, I haven't decided what all will go in the box just yet, lol).

Just post here and I'll pick a winner around midnight. Oh, and if you happen to be feeling generous and happen to know of any digital templates for 8x10 sports sheets (with a larger team photo and a smaller individual photo that aren't the ugly standard ones you can get at the photo processing places), please let me know. :) Thanks!

Happy NSD!!!! I'm loving the rain, but I'm inside, and looking at all the green through my kitchen window.

Happy NSD Amanda! I too did not get to celebrate the day in style as we were in the midst of soccer games and dance recital pictures and getting ready for sweet son's 1st Communion and Confirmation Celebration tomorrow. But, I'm thinking of scrapping if that counts . . . Hope you had a super day just the same!

I haven't had a chance to scrap today either. I'm hoping to get 1 page done now that the kids are asleep.
