Re: **Meet a Friend Challenge**
I meet another fellow ACOT member Sharice... aka Rici76
She is a stay at home mom with 2 kids...Anthony 7 and Alexa 5
She found ACOT for shopping didn't realize all the site had to offer until last year. She is a paper scrapper and has been scrapping for 5 years. She's also done it professionally by scrapping for others.
She likes all embellishments, but really likes flowers and stickles.
The last workshop she went to was a CK convention in Houston Texas about 2 years ago. She had a blast, but prefers to scrap alone.
Her favorite vacation spot is Maui -- but she hasn't been there yet!

Re: **Meet a Friend Challenge**
Last night I met Alwayshappy....
She came across ACOT by accident while looking for scrap supplies. She's been scrapping for 5 years and started out digital but has grown to love paper because of all the textures and options. Her favorite scrappy tool is the Cricut she got for Christmas. She has never done an online crop before (I hope she does the one this month to find out how much fun it is!).
And her favorite vacation desitination is Corpus Christi on the ocean in South Texas.

Re: **Meet a Friend Challenge**
I just had the pleasure of getting to know writerlady. I sent the following questions and she very graciously answered them for me. I hope to chat with her again real soon!
1. How did you choose your screen name? Because I write poetry and have always wanted to be a published author.
2. What other hobbies do you have besides scrapbooking? Knitting, jewelry making, painting, writing, playing guitar... and the list goes on.
3. What embellishment can you not do without? Ooh - it's a tie between bling and flowers.
4. What's your favorite type of adhesive? Zip Dry
5. What's your favorite type of cupcake? It has to be chocolate - with vanilla frosting!

Her favorite vacation desination is St. Augustine FL.

Re: **Meet a Friend Challenge**
I met Bernadette (BugLover) and she has 3 daughters and 1 son. She started scrapping because she loves crafts. She used to "paint ceramics, do needlepoint, just stuff that helps relieve stress". So it was a natural progression to scrapbooking!
