ACOT Message Board

About a year ago I did some infrequent posting on the message boards here, and as of December I've been posting my layouts regularly in the *wonderful* gallery (thank you all so much for the wonderful feedback!), but since it felt funny to just jump into all of your conversations unannounced, I thought I'd (re)introduce myself.  My name is Cortney and I live in Dexter, Michigan, with my son (2.5 years old), my husband (a professional classical musician and composer), our two dogs, and our two cats.  I am a stay at home mom, although I work a few hours a day from home on design and editing work for my husband's bosses.  I have been scrapping since my son was born and absolutely love the artistic release it provides.  I love seeing everyone's work in the gallery here, and taking advantage of the challenges to get my mojo going when I'm stuck.  In addition to scrapping I am also a runner and a choral vocalist, and I love to cook. 
So hello everyone!  I look forward to chatting with you all a bit more

 Hi Courtney, I too am new to the forum and look forward to getting to know you and everyone else on here, thought I might piggy back on your introduction and introduce myself at the same time
My name is Sonya, I live in Far North Queensland, Australia, am married with two children, Savannah who is 14 and Rhett who is 7. I work in administration full-time and obviously love to scrapbook. I also read, play poker, watch movies and facebook
