What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? Wedding album for my niece

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? No

Do you have your own scrap room? I was supposed to...now it's turned into the junk room...

Re: OLD Members :)
Yeah I was afraid us mid aged members were getting forgotten!! I don't know who your calling geezers!

How did you find ACOT?? I was looking for a safe place to buy scrapping supplies online since I did not have any stores near me when I first moved to Florida. First stared at Stickers Galore, then I found the board was so supportive and friendly and became addicted to all of it!

What technique would you like to learn? I don't even know what techiniques are considered, so I'm always up for learning anything, b/c I just do, have no names for the stuff!

How many photos do you usually place on a layout? Atleast 3-4 on each. I'm not one that likes to leave any photo behind!

Are you into digital or paper layouts? Paper girl at heart, but really getting into digital now. Extremely like using digital elements, printing on transparency for my paper layouts, so I guess I'm Hybrid!

What page/theme are you working on right now (or did you complete most recently)? I'm working on Fall Creek Falls from our honeymoon, but I've been doing some misc layouts for Tania's challenges!

Do you have your own scrap room? Nope, using the guest room. Have to drag out my table and supplies in and out depending on when guest come.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? I try to attend all the ACOT Crops and LOVE them!! I went to one crop in real life and was so disappointed b/c people were staring and pointing and asking why the hell I was doing what I was doing. There was nothing fun about it when all I was feeling was judged. But the crops here are so fun, energetic, and just a pure joy. Plus I can do everything at my own pace for a weekend and not rushed in just a few hours.

What gives you the creeps? Clowns, Bugs, Being in dark unknown place

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Neither. I can definitely stay up later, but still not passed 2:00 AM. And I hate getting up early in mornings, I like sleeping till atleast 10 AM no matter what time I go to bed!

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? Bahama Mama!!!!

How did you find ACOT??

How did you find ACOT??
I was crusing the net looking for hunting embellies and paper, and then my dh took over looking for me...(it's his album), then there was this pack of stickers about sexy man, or something like that, so he just left it on the screen.. I came back to look, had a laugh, and was intrigued (sp) with the site. I loved the gallery, the work, how it was set up, how you can leave loving easily, so different from the other sites. Got hooked, but took awhile before I got on the message board.

Have you ever been to a crop, either online or in real life? Yes, to both...but not alot. I have such a bad attention span, that I wander and talk alot...

What gives you the creeps? bugs, snot, and scary freaky movies

Are you a night-owl or an early-bird? Both...but mostly a night owl.

What is your favorite "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" beverage? Love Corona, and Kamakazees...!
