I found ACOT while the hubby was out deer hunting and I was home with the kiddos. I scrap in odd numbers, so either three, five or seven photos. I only do paper layouts and can't really see myself changing either! I'm working on a valentine/line/birthday theme right now. I did have my own scrap room until surprise we were pregnant agian and it was a boy!! I have never been to online crop and just recently after 12 years of scrapping went to my friends house to scrap for a few hours!! Tornados and fires gives me the creeps. I love to stay up late and be a night-owl, but doing daycare and having kids makes me be a early-bird. The only drink I need throughout the day is a can of Pepsi...gotta have my caffine!!! You gals/guys are great around here!!! THANKS FOR THE LOVE!!!
