Elizabeth Dillow
Generally I feel as if I am 28 years old. I also (often wrongly) assume everyone is the same age as I am.
My favorite book is Davita's Harp by Chaim Potok.
During my life, I have lived in Ohio, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Virginia. We're back in Wyoming for a while. We're transient Air Force-types.
One of the most defining moments of my life was when I became a mama in 2002!
My camera is a Canon 5D, and my favorite lens is my 24-70mm f/2.8L.
When I scrapbook, I must have a 2" x 2" clear space in front of me surrounded by a giant mess everywhere else from pulling out what seems like every single embellishment I own. Try as I might, I don't seem to think clearly when things are neat. I'm still trying to make my peace with that.
Though I began scrapbooking with extremely acidic albums and tape in early childhood, I don't think I found my groove until 2004.
My favorite scrapbooking colors are light blue and dark brown with lots of bright reds, oranges, and greens sprinkled on top.
You might notice that many of my pages include maps and torn-up dictionary pages. I know, I know. But I can't help it.
