I'm married with one extremely spoiled dog and live in central Illinois where I work for a major insurance company as an Administrative Assistant. I started scrapbooking in the early 90's when supplies were at a minimum (I seriously used wallpaper in place of pattern paper, no really). I participated in an ACOT crop back in May of 2006 and was encouraged to try digi. My first digi layout ever is in my gallery entitled Doggy Day Care. I had no idea how much my scrapbooking world was about to change. I still paper scrap (cause I have a TON of supplies to use, but no more wallpaper at least) but my heart is in digi scrapping and I feel that shows through my work. My other hobbies include reading, fitness, and I'm a bit obsessed with feeding and watching my backyard birds. I enjoy meeting people at ACOT who share one or all of my interests and love the friendships we have forged here on the boards.
