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 the winners are...

First of all, thank you for your patience! And thank you to all for guessing and celebrating with me.

Now, then, the important stuff. ;) Here are the winners. As I said before, Lauren guessed correctly first.

With the three boys, I use a LOT of blues, greens and oranges and just happened to use pink on a few layouts (not normal for me) about me. Purple, incidentally, is one of my favorite colors. But I apparently don't use it too much. ;) It was suprising to me because, after so many layouts in such a short time, I'd gone through a LOT of cardstock. Love my cardstock (by the way, Prism rocks!). In any case, heaps and piles of way multi-colored scraps around here...I foresee some "scrappy" scrap projects soon. :)

So. After pulling Lauren's entry, I put the rest into Asher's dump truck.

Since it was his truck, he had the honors of pulling the random winner. But then Noah wanted to pull a name also. And they each wanted to do it more than once. And I *do* have a lot of stuff here. So. We picked a total of four winners beyond Lauren. Three were taken from the overall guesses, and one was pulled from the subset of you that actually did guess purple. Here are the names:

Yay! So, Lauren, Gloria Martens, Renee D, Lisa Mitchell and Andi D...would you please email me so I can get these RAKs out to you? You can email through the "Contact me" thingie over there on the left... ;) (And if you know one of these ladies, would you let her know? This system doesn't appear to track email addresses at all, so there's no way for me to contact any of you unless you contact me first.) Thanks again!

Look for more fun entries later...the boys have had some funnies lately and I have some pictures to share. But right now I need to sleep. ;)
