My Right Hand (wo)man

I'm not sure what I would do without Amy. She has been my support and anchor throughout this first year of GS. (Did you know that February 2009 is our one year anniversary?! Yeah, us!) She has a great spirit and she rocks my world in paper making.

A bit about Amy -

I'm married to a railroad conductor who is on the road quite a bit. That leaves me in charge of taking care of our three children. My daughter is freshman in high school and the boys are age 9 and 10. I am addicted to Starbucks White Mochas! Besides designing at The-Lilypad, I do custom design work for professional photographers and I watch my 2 year old nephew three days a week.

I started paper scrapping when my 2nd child was born. I've always used the computer for journaling and titles so it was a natural progression to digital. I did some design work for Rakscraps, but really took a long time learning the ropes before I jumped into selling my own designs. It took the prodding of Natalie Braxton and Amy Martin to convince me! I'm thrilled to be able to help support my family doing something I love.

What is your all time "read over and over again" book?

I read so much I don't really go back too often. I will throw my favorites on a shelf and try to reread them at least once before I give them away.

If you could pack your bags tomorrow for a two week vacation where would you go?

Sanibel Island in Florida

What is your favorite thing about yourself?

I try to be as compassionate as I can. I always look at both sides of a story and don't jump to judgment.

Do you like to dance? Or sing in the shower?

I sing all the time and I can be extremely goofy ...especially around my kids. I'm sure they're thrilled! LOL!

Besides digital scrap book what is your favorite type of art?

I love mixed media stuff!

What was your favorite subject in school?

Reading and music

What are your top three songs on your mp3 player?

I just checked my play count. "Stupid for You" by Marie Digby, "Always Be My Baby" by David Cook, and "The Last Thing on Your Mind" by Lights.

Dog? Or cat?

Tough question...I've always had cats until my son became allergic and now we are really wanting a puppy!!

What is your all time favorite comfort food? A bowl of cold cereal

On to my favorite layouts and current favorite kit of Amy's...

I'm going to cheat on my favorite kit because it's not actually a kit. It's paper!
