Amy

I've been married to a wonderful man named Scott for 19 years. We have 3 kids daughter 21, son 18 & son 6. We also have 2 of the most cutiest grandsons ever. We are living in Texas right now and hope to buy a home soon.

I have been scrapbooking for about 18 years and cant stop. This is my one and only hobby. I scrap mostly 8x8 and just love this size. I also do recipe pages and rolodex cards. I have managed a LSS, started scrapbook sites, been on design teams, tought online scrapbook classes and for the last year and half I have been working with Foster Girls teaching them how to scrapbook and its more fun than I ever dreamed. I wouldnt trade those for anything, I have learned alot from some really wonderful scrappy ladies ! Having scrapbook friends means the world to me.

Wow 17 years THat is crazy!

Amy, great to learn more about you. I think its a wonderful thing your doing teaching Foster Girls.

I was keeping a scrapbook in high school too but we know that type
is really different from what we do now....lol
Out of the 17 years I would say the first 4 were learning to make the
change from that to this and they really are bad pages....lol
I have been doing what we call scrapping now about 13 years

Working with the foster girls is tons of fun and anyone who likes
to help others should ask their Foster Programs in their areas if
they could use the help too Teenagers are easily impressed.....lol

How wonderful to share this great hobby with these girls. It is sure to be an escape for them, just as it is for all of us. I'm really glad to know you better Amy, and I'm excited to be on the design team with you!

It's so neat to see what you do with your community!! And, I've got to say, you are BRAVE to have your kids so far apart!!

What an positive thing you are doing with those foster girls.

17 years! That's fantastic!! It's nice to get to know you better.

Thanks...alot of ladies didnt want to work with the cause they didnt want them
in their homes cause they look at them as "bad kids" which some are in foster
care for those reasons but most are so sweet and just got the bad end of a family
ordeal !! Mostly I do it for me cause I really wanted someone to scrap with and
since I live with all boys I just wanted to have another girl in my life and now I
got tons of them....lol

Summer:
with summer here I have been thinking about cutting off my hair
for about 4 weeks now. I think Im just going to jump in and do it

also I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for about 6-7 years.
I am getting ao close to doing it....lol
I think some of it might be cause I will be turning 40 in less thatn a year

Are you making changes for the summer ??

Oh, I've always wanted a tattoo! I haven't ruled it out yet - something small and not real openly visible.

Nice to meet yo Amy and it is great what you are doing with the Foster Girls. That will certainly make them feel worthwile after what they have already been through.

Thats what I thinking....put it somewhere I can show if I want to but still hide easy

Thanks Michelle....funny cause these girls say I know more about them than anyone
else cause I see their pages and take time to read them. We did have them Forster
Mothers coming but they didnt even care and they always ended up in the livingroom
all talking instead of helping the girls with the books.....so we dont invite them now....lol
The girls like it better to cause we cut loose turn up the music and start scrapping while
singing as loud as we can.....lol
