Meet and Greet***Winner***

[gidget]

 So Jazzyscrapper ask about me then I turned the tables around on her - here are her answers to my questions:

1. Where do you live and have you always lived there? If not, which
place was your favorite and why? (See I can give you two or three part
questions right back ... haha)  LOL you crack me up.  I live in NE
Illinois on the Chain of Lakes.  We moved into this house 21 yrs ago
but have lived in this area about 25 yrs.  We moved here when were were
just married (well sort of) with a baby as we couldn't afford the area
we grew up in too expensive.
2. What is your favorite vacation spot?  I always vacation in Florida as my mom and sister live there.
3.
What is your best high school memory?  High school really doesn't have
many happy memories as I went to 4 different schools.  I was always the
new kid trying to fit in.  My mom and dad were divorced right before my
freshman year.  The best thing I can remember is one of my math
teachers really taking the time with me as I absolutely love math!  I
am a mortgage loan processor for one of the biggest mortgage companies
(that has been in the news alot lately) in our country.
4. How many
scrapbook albums do you have? How do you "categorize" them?  I have
about 30 with quite a few in the works.  I just counted them last
weekend for my little sisters scrapbook website last weekend that was a
question they had posted.  I categorize them by family, friends, pets,
CKU, Christmas (yep that gets its own lol), Dh's fishing album, his
Harley album, some with just our ds and then one for my ds's beautiful
wife of their wedding.
5. How long have you been on ACOT?  I tried
to find this answer but couldn't anywhere.  I was here when the message
board first started and the store/website were Stickers Galore.  I
stopped hanging out here all the time in 2004 and have been over at
Twopeas ever since.  I joined a group of ladies/1 guy that do a monthly
challenge using the AL Designing with calendar.  I love that group they
are the sweetest ever!  Ok hope this one goes through and if the other
did and this is a repeat I apologize!
Have a great NSD weekend!!!

 And now I have met Tracy - ICanhasacherryontop

Hi Susan, welcome to ACOT!!

I'm a digi scrapper. I don't have a dedicated room for scrapping, but since I'm digi that's ok because I'm portable! (I scrap on a laptop).

My favorite food hands down is my hubby's yummy lasagne.

I don't subscribe to any scrapbooking magazines.

I've never met a web friend in person.

Thanks for getting to know me!! Hope you enjoy the crop!

[Jeanne Marie's Scraps]

 post i meet catwomn she answered a newbie question for me so i took the time to ask a few questions for me



what is your fave scrapbooking tool the one you just couldn't scrap with out? computer -I get all my best ideas from galleries online

how long have you been scrapbooking? - as long as I can remember but it used to be me just embellishing and captioning the photos in magnetic albums - I discovered "real" scrapbooking when I went to Archivers for a class on making wedding invitations for my cousin's wedding in '96 or '97 I was hooked!

what would you do if you knew you could never scrap agian -unfortunately it wouldn't be much different from where I am now --- hopelessly disorganized and with a backlog of photos to do

what is your fav subject to scrap I love to scrap "everyday" stuff...the places I go, why I like to drink Coke and since I don't have my own kids, I have tons of pictures of my cats!

make a guess of how many sheets of paper and card stock are in your stash right now! I'll guess 3000 but I bet that's really low because that's only 6 reams of paper and it takes up a lot more space than 6 reams.

I love knowing everyone elses scrap habits.

[MLee]

 I met Scrappinprincess who managed to NOT tell me her first name - HEY!!!!! Now you have to come here and tell every one!! LOL!

•  Today she is missing her IRL crop group because her husband had a heart
  cath yesterday and stayed home with him. However, this online scrap has helped her get over my nsd blues
• She is the mother of 2 teenagers
• Works full time as a lab tech
• Has two addictions: scrapbooking and ebay.. AND
• Has lost 57 lbs in the last year <~~~~ HURRAY FOR HER!!!

[Scrappin13]

 I met Tracy.  Here are my Q and her A:

1.  Do you do paper or digi or both? Digi Only
2.  Do you have any kids? I have a boy and a girl. Matched set!!
3.  Are you enjoying the crop? Always!! ACOT Crops rock!
4.  How long have you been scrapping? since 2000
5.  Do you have a favorite scrapbook supply? Paper paper paper!!! (digi of course)

I am with Tracy on having tons of paper (both regular and digi)  I filled up a portable hard drive with all my digi stuff.  (That's just our little secret).

[Sherrise]

 This is such a fun idea! I sent out some questions and am awaiting my replies!! Someone could gladly ask ME some questions!! I would LOVE that!!

[Sherrise]

 Ok, I met Julie! Julie is from Northern Indiana, and has been scrapbooking for a very long time!  She has two little boys, aged 2 and 8 months... Fun stuff!! Of course, her favorite scrappin' subject is her little sweetie pies!
Thanks for taking the time to answer, Julie!

And thanks everyone on this board for a very warm welcome today. You were all very kind, and accepting, and this was a VERY fun day for me!!

[julienicole02]

I made another friend. Sherrise has her own piece of heaven, a scrap room, in her basement. She enjoys reading when not scrapping. If she could have any super hero power it would be mind reading. Her middle name is Lynn and she has two older brothers that she is pretty close too! And let me tell you, she sounds like a ball of fun!

[julienicole02]

I've also met Shastess...what a cool name!
1. What did you have for lunch? Spammies Meal Deal at the Quizno's that just opened up in our town.
2.
What brought you to ACOT? Originally I think someone linked it on
Splitcoast stampers. I have bought before and done the cherry hunt but
never the message board.
3. What kind of car do you drive? My sweet little white Ford Escape! I love her!
4. What is your favorite snack food? Chocolate! And Gardettos
5.
If you had the ability to go back in time, what time period would you
visit? Hmmmmmmmmmm this is a hard one! I guess the Roaring 20's with
the flappers and gangsters and all that - seems like such a glamourous
time period.

[shastess]

 I went for it and PMed some one! I am new too!

I pmed julienicole02  Julie who lives in Indiana and scraps her kids and dad (sports), she loves her cricut and paper piercer and she likes basic grey and MME and gardening in spare time when NOT scrappin.

[wahoo_mom]

 I met Heidi1514.  In looking through a thread, her name caught my eye because there just aren't many of us.  She lives in Montana and has been scrapping for about 10 years.  She has been around since Stickers Galore, but doesn't chat much.  She is new to the crops and enjoys watching everyone.  I hope she PMs me again!

[betseymae]

 I just met Miteenice who just stumbled across the ACOT site tonight.  She thinks it looks like fun.  I've told her it is!  She has been a scrapper and carder for close to 15
years.  She loves to shop more than scrap.
