Name 3 things in your fridge on a regular basis.
Diet Coke, Champagne and Parmesan Cheese.

What’s in the trunk of your car right now?
Actually, for a change – It’s clean!

What TV series do you record?
I TiVo Oprah and The Deadliest Catch… I miss all of my HBO shows.

Describe your favorite shoes.
Right now; my black Kenneth Cole flip-flops. They are kind of dressy – yet SO comfy!

Describe your purse.
Black, leather and BIG. I like big bags, especially with pockets on the outside to hold my cell phone.

Do you cook? What’s your specialty?
I cook on occasion. I don’t really know that I have a specialty, but I make a really good Honey Mustard and Bacon Chicken – I know it’s sounds weird…. But it’s so yummy.

Peanut butter
and bread. (why ruin a good thing with jelly or jam?)

Favorite book?
My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird.

What’s hanging on the walls of your workspace?
A clock, a magnet board, a Wicked poster and a white board with a lot deadlines on it. I really need to decorate! The white walls are a little overwhelming.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is…
make my way to the kitchen to make a pot of “the best coffee EVER.”

What do you like on your pizza?
Plain ol’ pepperoni.

When I’m stressed I want to…
sleep…sleep…sleep.

My favorite paper craft projects are…
Mini-albums, but I still love a 12 x12 layout.

Favorite junk food splurge.
Peanut Butter M&M’s or Peanut Butter Cups.

Last job BEFORE I got into crafting/current “real” job in addition to Luxe.
Working at a gift shop, I did sales and worked as a “personalizer”  - I doodled all over goodies using paint pens.

The first thing I do when I have a creative project is…
try to convince myself that not every project needs ink and paint.

I collect…
a lot of dust a dog hair in my house lately.

Essential non-Luxe craft products:
Black pen, chalk inks and paper trimmer.

Favorite Luxe line & why.
I LOVE Pashmina – the colors are so me. I also find myself using Cocktail Dress a lot.

How many years of experience do you have as a professional crafter (teaching, creating for sale, selling, etc)?
Wow.  Probably 17 years or more.

What was your first paying job?
Helping a family friend and her store assemble Christmas gift baskets. I would take hundreds of yards of ribbon to make trash bags full of bows.  I think one Christmas we did almost 600 baskets. I can still make a pretty awesome bow.

Name your top 5 celebrity heartthrobs.
Eric Bana, Jeremy Piven, Christian Bale, Josh Harnett and Vince Vaughan.

Tattoos & piercings?
One tattoo; a thistle on my right foot and two piecings in my… earlobes.

Name of your favorite shade of lipstick.
I’m not really a “lipstick girl,” I prefer gloss. My favorite is Mac LipGlass: C-Thru.

How do you order your Starbucks?
I was addicted to the Cinnamon Dulce Latte – but now I like the non-fat, sugar-free Dulce de Leche Latte.

Name your top places you spend time on the internet?
Lately… Pandora.

Who do you consider “responsible” for getting you started scrapbooking?
My friend, Carlie. Back in ’96, while we were still in high school, she started putting together a Creative Memories album from our “girlie crew” adventures. I was totally hooked.

What color cardstock do you use the most?
Probably black.

What do you buy a lot of? {craft related}
Adhesive… I buy a lot of adhesive.
