Hi Thank You!
Sorry I'm late, I have been out most of the day!

So Let's get started with these questions shall we :)

1. Aside from scrapbooking, what creative outlets do you have?
I love to cook and am always making homemade goodie baskets filled with my baked treats for friends and family.

2. What is your favorite thing to wear?
Jeans and a sweater, I know so boring isn't it ;)

3. What is your least favorite household chore?
Well that would have to be......all of them......but thanks to the luxury of having a 12 year old daughter I don't have to do chores anymore :D

4. Share your "designer story". How did you get started?
I originally got photoshop to do silly cut an paste style things with pictures of my dog. I didn't even know about scrapbooking. There happened to be an ad inside my software box about digital scrapping so I started there and began learning to scrap, which quickly turned into my desire to design, it will be a year in April since I started selling my work. Thanks To All Of You have supported me along the way! :)

5. Who is YOUR favorite designer right now?
Well that is really tough, there are so many talented ladies out there. I don't find myself with alot of time to scrap, so I can't name favorites as far as that goes.
But two ladies who were genuinely helpful and kind to me in the beginning and I still have a tremendous amount of respect for are Miss Tiina and Micheline Martin.

okay, first question--will you adopt me so i can be a recipient of your baked goodie basket? and second--how on earth do you get your 12 year old to help out!? i've got a 13 year old and i'm almost ready to sell her to the gypsy's!

LOL thankfully I have a 10 year old boy who likes to help out too hehe. No more cleaning toilets and floors and taking out the garbage:yahoo

Well it's a Saturday Ritual :lol SHe knows that if the chores arent done then I take away all her electronic devices , ipod, ps2, dvd, tv etc...
she has pretty much gotten over complaining about it , because she knows it will never change.
Her list of duties include but are not limited to :

Vaccuming all carpet
sweeping all tile
cleaning the kitchen counters (removing and replacing all items)
polishing the silverware
emptying the toaster
crumb catch
dusting throughout
cleaning all bathrooms, sinks mirrors , tubs, toilets, floors , trash cans
folding and putting away all laundry that I wash
cleaning the back door windows
picking up dog poo
wiping down the washer and dryer
wiping down the base boards(once a month)

And anything else I think needs to be done or re-done
I assure you Im not exaggerating either :lol

Good Luck with getting your girl to help out, I say the best tool is taking away what they love most, no yelling involved :lol You'd be surprised what they will do to have their music back, OH and If I'm feeling especially nice I let her listen to her ipod while cleaning ;)

[qtJessie(ScrapKitten)]

I totally agree...the taking away of things works REALLY good LOL
My son values his Xbox and TV
