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.

Winners!

Okay. I couldn't do it. I couldn't pick just one. :) I wish I could send something to everyone but will have to settle for three of you. Yup, decided to go with three giveaways instead of just one (don't worry, doesn't mean you'll get less...just means I really had more that I was hoarding to giveaway later, LOL)...I let each of my boys pick a name from the hat (where I'd printed all these out and cut them into little strips). So, without further ado, here are the winners:

I didn't even realize it was NSD. That shows you how long it's been since I've scrapped. Maybe some new supplies could get me going! :)

Happy NSD to you too! You were behind my alltime favorite column in CK -- the month by month page column last year -- I love my 2008 book!

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!

Please email me with your mailing info and I'll get these out this week!

Oh, and for the record, the rain decided to hold off yesterday until the late afternoon, so we made it through both games dry...Yay! (Unfortunately, Nathan and Noah ended up soaked at Noah's practice later in the day, but at least I was warm at home with the youngest two, lol.) I took 383 pictures at the two games. Yes, even though this is our fourth season, I still take the camera to every game. I haven't yet scrapped a single soccer layout, but the boys have a fit if I don't bring the camera. ;) I do take pictures of everyone on the team, though, and give them to parents at the end of the season, along with the team and individual shots I do up on 8x10 sheets (hence my asking earlier).

And, now, I must go because we have makeup games today. (Normally, the soccer league doesn't make up missed games, but since we'd already missed 3 of the total 8 games of the season due to weather, they're making up one...today.) I'm totally stoked because the sun is actually shining! Seriously. You have no idea how happy that makes me. By some weird stroke of wackiness this entire soccer season has been plagued by bad Saturday weather. The few games we've managed to play have been overcast and cold, if not also drizzly, despite the beautiful weather we generally have all week. Saturdays, it would seem, are cursed. :) (Now that I've said that, of course, next Saturday will be fine and Noah won't get to play his game due to his 1st Communion.)

Okay, really must get going now! Happy (sunny) Sunday to you all!

Yeah! So excited that I won -- looking forward to seeing the goodies! I am totally with you on the scoccer photos -- not to 383 yet, but we just started (instructional league) and I know I have quite a few! Thanks again!
