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.

Another Fourth of July layout...

I'm the special guest blogger over at the CK blog today! Check it out, okay? I even have step by step instructions over there. And, if, like me, you can't see the entire layout, I'm adding it here and hope that's okay. :)


Really had fun with this one...using lots of my favorite things right now...Silhouette, crimper, Fiskars punch and Glimmer Mist. Oh, and speaking of Glimmer Mist...

Glimmer Mist is the same great product with a Fabulous NEW Look! Check it out:


Btw, I think it's rockin' cool that Tattered Angels is located within minutes of me and seriously wish them all the best! Love their new look and now kinda want to go to their warehouse and see everything. :)

Okey-dokey. Well, have a fabulous and incident-free Fourth everybody!!

Amanda, I saw that layout on CK blog and all I could say is what I've always said, HOFer-esque. I mean seriously? How is that you are so amazing? I just looked through several pages of your blog and how do you do it? turning photos and just some cardstock into amazing designs!
