Hi Ladies,
I signed up this year when you had National Scrapbook Day weekend. I wanted to see and do the challenges...at least I got inspired! lol
So this week I actually had time to download a layout for a challenge. Yah! And my daughter and I had fun hunting for those cherries yesterday. I won! So now I'm ready to figure out what I really need so I can spend my coupon! Needless to say, I'm enjoying the website and the conversation. It's great.
My name is Teri, aka Scraptap. I've been married for 13 years, we have a girl, 12 and a son 10. We live in So. Orange County in California. Right down the street from the those darn housewives in Coto de Caza! lol It seems I have always been putting my pictures into albums, and including little momemtos of people or places. I have photo albums that have been around since I was 10 or 12. I tried to scrapbook when my children were born, but it was just awful. I couldn't get the hang of those little stickers that creative memories offered. Then I hooked up with it again about 5 years ago, and I have been having fun with it ever since. I love using all kinds of mediums, from stickers to paint, stamping, chipboard, tearing...I'll try anything just about once! (But I wont sew on it-just seems like a lot of work to bring out the sewing machine!) I get most of my inspiration from magazines, but I like to print out lo's I see online too. I try to keep my "stash" to a minimum, but I have to admit that it does continue to grow, especially when new tools come out. I love tools and alphabets. You just can't have too many of them!
Other than scrabooking, I love to be on vacation! I love to go somewhere new everytime, and see and do as much as possible. And I love to share it with my family and extended family. That is the best way to go. I have a goal to visit all of the National Parks in my lifetime, and to take my children to Europe before they go away to college. I love gardening, camping and being pampered. (which kinda contradicts with the whole camping thing, but I'm a lady of extremes!).
Kristin, I just have to say, that I have had the pleasure to ride a Harley a time or two, and with the right equipment, it IS a joy! Way to go!
I look forward to adding more lo's and pics to my gallery soon. (and figuring out how to add my picture to my name like so many of you ladies do.)
Ciao,
Teri
