I generally feel as if I am just plain old 40 years old.
One of my new favorite books is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I've also recently enjoyed The Bear's Embrace, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Days, and Olive Kittredge.
On heavy rotation in my iPod: Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, Marie Digby, Rhianna, The Ting Tings, and Cyndi Lauper.
During my life I have lived in the West either in Utah or California.
One of the most defining moments of my life was when my first son was born.
My camera is a Canon Digital Rebel, and my favorite lens has not yet been purchased.
When I scrapbook, I must have good, sharp scissors and multiple shades of green and blue cardstock.
Though I began scrapbook in high school, I don't think I found my groove until I walked into Pebbles In My Pocket in Provo, Utah for the first time in 1997 and discovered all the possibilities—letter templates, different colors of cardstock, and, of course, paper dolls.
My favorite scrapbooking colors are blue and green.
You might notice that many of my pages include lettering products, like American Crafts' Thickers, chipboard letters, and Doodlebug letter stickers.
