1. If you could have $100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose?

I would choose paper especially Cosmo Cricket or Melissa Frances.

2. If you had to choose between only using stamps or rubons, which would you choose?

I would use stamps.

3. If you knew how to do awesome cards and layouts and could only do one for a whole year....which would you do?

Would have to be cards.....yes definitely cards.

4. Would you rather own a scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home....(can't have both..he,he,he.)

Would love to have a scrapbooking room fully stocked like a store.......oh yes, got a room now but could use a lot more stock......and space.

5. And last but not least, what is your CURRENT cardmaking or scrapping style....

My style changes with my mood and the person I'm making a card for......I really can't say..

This should be an interesting and busy week coming up. My DD, SIL and 3year old DGS have left today to go to the States for a weeks vacation. MY DD has been sitting on the edge for the pass few months as we all have been waiting for test results on some health issues. Her tests have come back looking good so far, but the doctor is going do follow up checks each month for awhile. So we are keeping the three oldest boys 13, 16 and 17 year olds while they go for a little vacation. They really need one. So with working and three teenagers this should prove interesting.....I am just so happy that at least for the time being she is ok.......
