Okay, here goes ! A little about me, I have been married for 30yrs, to an absolutely great guy, we have 6 of the best kids in the world . We live in my hubbys child hood home right in heart of Syracuse, NY. Our home was built in the early 1900's and we are surrounded by beautiful old homes in a stately neighborhood. We have been here since 1984.

I have been sewing since I was 8 or 9, I was taught by my Aunt , who happens to be an excellent seamstress. I started Quilting right around the same

time I started to Paper Scrap in 2001. I never really got into paper too much, it was too messy and I never knew where to start. But, I bought a bunch of stuff and there it sits ! So, quilting really took up alot of my time Until I just happened upon Scrap Girls one day while I was browsing the web . I was hooked! I checked out the gallery and I was just amazed by all the beautiful LO's and I thought to myself , if they can do it so can I ! So off I went to the boutique , and once I started , I have never looked back. My sewing room is very lonely these days !

I was in a serious auto accident in Dec. of 07 and I have been pretty much confined to home from the injuries I suffered. So, thank goodness for my laptop, because it can go with me wherever I go ! I just got CS3 about 2 months ago , and I have been learning about my new program and I really see a difference in my LO's ! I have watched Ro's video's many times in the learning process, I don't know what I'd do without them, they are a valuable asset to my digital scrapping ..

I am a RN, but I haven't worked in my field for a few years due to an injury at work, but that's okay, it gives me more time with my family and more time to scrap.

I absolutely love Scrap Girls, it really is a family to me and everyone here is so caring and real ! Scrap Girls has become my sanity so to speak.

Well , I hope this covers everything, I wasn't sure what to put down, its difficult to talk about yourself at least it is for me... lol. Oh yes I almost forgot, here is my favorite LO I've done lately. It is done with CS3 and its just a quick photo I took of my son James while he was writing a new song. I love to watch him play and with the fire in the background, I just couldn't resist. So here it is and it is called : Music In My Head
