Oh my heck! What a great surprise this morning! :) Thanks Rachael! Here's my answers! :)

1. Aside from scrapbooking, what creative outlets do you have?
I don't really have many other creative outlets besides scrapbooking... lol! (Sad I know!) I do enjoy photography (which is somewhat creative I guess), and I love to read and go geocaching. I'm trying to learn to love exercise (but that is far from creative!). And I love a good getaway (I'd travel about anywhere!). And I would have to say that those are my main hobbies right now.

2. What is your favorite thing to wear?
Hands Down, Jeans, a black polo shirt (or some other kind of plain shirt) and my crocks. I love the "SAHM" uniform - that I get to create and most days it's pretty close to that! :)

3. What is your least favorite household chore?
Cleaning the bathrooms, or just "decluttering" (like cleaning out closets, etc. that one is hard for me). I hate both of those!

4. Share your "designer story". How did you get started?
I was a digital scrapper long before I was a designer. I knew that someday I wanted to design, but I was also waiting for the right time for me to jump into that.
So I started digital scrapbooking in December of 2003. I didn't start designing until about January of 2006. At that time I started out at the Digi Chick. After a while there I moved to Sweet Shoppe Designs (hum, maybe last summerish - I'm not good with dates!) And I've been at Sweet Shoppe ever since then. I feel really fortunate to have had two good experiences at both stores I've sold at - and I've made many friends both places!
I've also had the chance to work with two paper companies (Scrappin' Sports & More and Carolee's Creations) which has been fun for me as well!

5. Who is YOUR favorite designer right now?
Do I have to choose just one? lol! Let me first say that I love all the girls at Sweet Shoppe. Sometimes we get a preview glance of what will be released on Saturday morning in our forums and I'm always just amazed every week at the designers there and the creativity they have. I also "love love love" Michelle and Lori at Little Dreamer Designs (both are so innovative and creative!) I also really just love the Shabby Princess (who doesn't!). I don't really "know" her at all... but she just seems to be so genuine and generous. And superbly talented too! I could go on for hours on this topic, so I'll be quiet now... lol!

Thanks Rachael... you made my day! :)

[angedawn]

Thanks so much you guys! :)


Oh, to answer Pamela's question about "Do I have a muse?"

Not really... lol! I wish there was just one great thing that would always inspire me, but the inspiration kind of comes and goes in waves. Sometimes I have tons of great ideas and other times I have nothing. I wish I had a muse who was always around... lol! :)

Oh and if I were a fruit what kind would I be? Um, a strawberry - small and sweet! lol! :)
