ScrapHappyMama

Hello everyone! I live in San Diego, California with my husband, son, daughter, dog, and 2 cats! My hobbies are scrapbooking, crafts, reading, rollerblading, going to the beach, and watching movies. I really enjoy scrapbooking and right now am hooked on making the mini albums! Being in my craft room is the best time for me and i spend all my money on those things! My husband says ENOUGH! but i can't help it ;P I joined this site because I thought it would be really fun to do swaps, also to see what people from other states/countries like or have in their stores that i dont see or have here. I love embellishments, and other random things to put in my pages. I am kind of wierd that i like things to coordinate, so i like kits. I'm not good w/ trying to piece all kinds of colors together, etc. I'm new to all this but hope that it will be fun, and that i can make some new online friends and do fun and interesting swaps!

Right now my goal for the past two years has been to read all the books on Oprah's book list dating from 1996. It has been very nice to read books I wouldn't ordinarily ever pick up off the shelf myself! My newest favorite author is Wally Lamb. But I've always loved Dean Koontz. I also have read all the Twilight books and really loved those, though i put it off for a long time because I didnt see what all the fuss was about, but now i do! :)

I'm an 80's girl at heart. So I love The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, St. Elmos' Fire. I also love the movies Serendipity, The Family Stone, Steel Magnoias, Tears of Endearment

I love anything that stirs an emotion in me or makes me wanna get up and dance. I listen to country on a daily basis but i also like alternative and rock and soft rock. I am always filling up my ipod w/ all kinds of stuff. Jack Johnson, Jewel, The Cure, old school Madonna, Timbaland.... just to name a few.

I really like the old days sitcoms like Cosby Kids, Roseanne, Golden Girls, etc etc... so i like to find those shows online or late at night but as for the current shows I like all the Houswives shows on Bravo, Brothers and Sisters, my soap opera is Days of our Lives, and thats about it for TV

other than scrapbooking , i like to crochet, decorate birdhouses, decorate wooden signs, and anything that is crafty. I'm not great at it all, i'm not that creative but i do enjoy it. I usually end up giving all my creations as gifts.
