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.

Inspired by...

DateFriday, July 17, 2009 at 01:47PM

In case you didn't know, July is "inspired by" month over on the Prism blog. I've been having a blast making my projects for that (can't wait for you to see the one that'll be up next week!). Meanwhile, I figured I'd also share a couple of way simple layouts I finished last weekend during my Mom's Day Out. The first one is inspired by G2...

This second one is inspired by my desire to not waste leftovers. ;) I've been having soooo much fun using my Silhouette to cut out titles and such but have a hard time tossing the scraps afterward. This layout uses the leftovers and makes me feel better. ;)


Well, that was really all for today. I still haven't sorted through all those pictures from Santa's Workshop and will spend the weekend cleaning and such to get ready for company coming on Monday. (The other best friend, not pictured in my layout above, and her girls are coming to visit!!) So, not the most exciting of weekends, but I'm totally looking forward to next week!! :)

(And, Hos, don't worry...while you're here, we'll take lots of pictures so I can do layouts with you, too...not just M2, LOL!)
