Q1.      What is your favorite Birthday memory from your childhood?

My mom always went above and beyond to make my birthday parties special, so it’s hard for me to select a single favorite. I suppose it would be my fourth birthday, which Mom made a Sesame Street theme. She drew a large Big Bird on poster board for Pin the… something on the bird. LOL I can’t remember what we were pinning on the ol’ bird. She also drew a large Cookie Monster on poster board, and we played toss the cookies, where we threw bean bag “cookies” into Cookie Monster’s mouth. This is the year she gave me the Sesame Street Little People toy (love that it’s now considered “vintage”–ugh!), which I still have and love. (Perhaps I’ll give it to my own baby girl someday.) And we enjoyed SS cupcakes. So sweet!

Q2.      What is one scrapbook supply you can’t possibly live without?

Hmmmm… I’m crushing hard on washi tape at the moment, so I suppose I’d have to say that. Of course, that could change tomorrow. I’m pretty much in love with all things creative!

Q3.      If you were a closet eater, what would you have hidden away?

A closet eater? Not sure I know what that is. Someone who hides their snacking? As most people know, I’m pretty open with my indulging. And my ever increasing midsection would reveal me if my always snacking mouth didn’t. I guess I’d be most inclined to hide my Red Bull habit, simply because many people scrutinize this beverage choice. But, with my narcolepsy always keeping me company, I’m often in need of those “wings.”

Q4.      If you could go anywhere in a time machine where/ when would you go?

Can I take a friend or two? If so, I transport my loving husband and our baby girl back to my childhood, when I’d spend the summers on my grandma’s farm. Oh, how I loved that time in my life. And oh, how I loved my grandma. I would love nothing more than to see her again and share that happy time with the ones I love the most.

Q1.      When you’re feeling run down, how do you like to be taken care of?

Just to have someone notice that I’m run ragged means so much!! Pampering is ALWAYS a good thing!!! A massage or pedicure does me worlds of good!!!

Q2.      What is one scrapbook supply you can’t possibly live without?

There’s so many things I love it’s hard to name just one!! It’s a toss up between my paper trimmer and a great rolling adhesive!!

Q3.      If you were a closet eater, what would you have hidden away?

When our son lived at home, we actually used to hide cookies and goodies in our bathroom closet!!! lol but for me it would probably be Russell Stover milk chocolate coconut candies!!!!

Q4.      If you were an ice cream what flavor would you be?

Rocky Road definitely!! A little nutty, a little sweet and always a wild ride!!!!!!

Q2.      What is one scrapbook supply you can’t possibly live without?

Q1.      How do you like to be showered with love?

I’m a family girl…I’m pretty cynical about gift giving etc, so I’m content just spending time with my husband and daughter. I know that may sound cheesy, but it’s true!!

Q2.      What is one scrapbook supply you can’t possibly live without?

WOW…ONE?! I’ll say patterned paper. I’m a sucker for it because it’s relatively inexpensive and easy to store. If I could choose two, I’d add stamps to that statement.

Q3.      If you were a closet eater, what would you have hidden away?

Caramello bars by Cadbury. They are devilishly delicious.

Q4.      Coke or Pepsi? Milk or Dark?

Diet Coke, no contest there. Milk chocolate…same thing.

Q1.      What’s your best memory of your Mom?

My mom was great, she always made holidays special in our house, everything was always decorated. I look back now and realize that as a kid, that’s how I really counted out calendar months, by holidays. It wasn’t really by months at all.  I didn’t really inherit the “let’s decorate” for the holidays gene, but I did marry a man that wants to put up the Christmas tree the day after Halloween, that’s something I guess.

Q2.      What is one scrapbook supply you can’t possibly live without?

Micro tip scissors, they are sharp, always there when I need them and good at fighting off would-be muggers.

Q3.      If you were a closet eater, what would you have hidden away?

I’m more of a I hide my food in the top drawer kind of girl, these dangerous New Mega stuffed Oreos have really got my attention at the moment.

Q4.      If you could live in any TV show and it were real which one would you live in?

The Rosanne show, with my own kids and husband. Besides my own mom, that’s where I learned my mad mothering skills.

Thanks again to Unity Stamp Company for creating such adorable stamps!
We hope to see you at a class near you
