Short bio: I'm blessed to have found my soulmate {and to still be able to say that after 10 years of marriage!}. We're raising our two awesome boys together in the sunny South Florida Metro area. I'm a small business owner, so I juggle a lot of things. But I love what I do, and almost pinch myself daily... I love the city, the beach, ice cream, and reading by the pool.
Favorite thing to scrapbook: Everyday life for myself and our family.
Favorite AC product: Oh, man. I can never pick just one! I always, always love the bright colors and bold patterns of the papers - and the HUGE variety of embellishments in so many different textures to match each line always inspires me to want to scrapbook!
5 fun facts:
1. I was homeschooled. Now, we homeschool our boys.
2. I'm a vegetarian.
3. I was this close to going to art school...
4. I'm a bit of a nerd. Ok. A bigger nerd than I'd like to admit...
5. I'm a woman of faith.
Leah says, "My sister recently came to visit at our home for about a week before our family went on a trip to visit our parents. It was fun to have her here to hang out with! Who else can you be so silly with? For my card today, I'm always looking for simple, fun sayings to use for my cards {this always seems to be the hardest part of card making for me!}. Today's card was inspired by one of my favorite authors - J. K. Rowling. When Hagrid meets Harry for the first time on his birthday, he states "It's not every day yer young man turns eleven!" I feel like that pretty much sums up a magical time in a kid's life - teetering on the edge of their teens."
