I love to blog.. do do do doooo...

So.. I have been starting this blog out slowly. Two weeks ago I crashed my hub's new car... this week we got the estimate on fixin. $857. Did I mention how absolutely TINY that wall was? But again, when you have plasti-car every little ding and dent and bump costs a fortune. So that's that.

On to better things. As the official Primedia Famous Scrapper's stalker, I have recently found several new victims! It all started with BH. Oh yeah, Becky Higgins. Lynda introduced us to her at HIA years ago and I was verklempt! I stalked her by way of trade shows and email, and she escaped by moving to another state. WhatEVER. LOL. While I sat back and quietly admired BH, my scrapper obsession fizzled and was finally once again re-kindled via the Memory Trends trade show this month. My new best friend Donna Downey was there and SUCH a sweetie. She kidded the hub and we chatted about some very UNscrappy things. LOVE HER WORK AND HER. She rocks. I actually signed up for her class before her books came out.. and when I saw the books I fell IN LOVE with her style and ideas.. it was so very cool to meet her and find her spunky and sassy and so fun to talk to!

Heidi Swapp was another favorite. She took a picture of the hub doing her make n take. Did I mention my hub has tattoos, pierced ears and a fauxhawk? She said it was the next generation of scrappers and I will scream if I see that picture turn up in one of her pages! She cracked me up with her Target comments and laid back style!

I re-found Tara Whitney after I got back and started frequenting the blogs.. and am totally inspired by her story and her photos. Her photography is AMAZING. Totally what I want to do when I grow up... cept I am 2 years older than her and I own a scrapbook store. But that is beside the point. She also looks so fun and cute. I would love to meet her and hope to get the chance one day. Maybe if I lose some weight I will have her do a family photo shoot.. one day right?

The really sad thing? I think that I could TOTALLY hang out with these girls and we would become the best of friends. All of them seem so kick back and fun and funky and that is TOTALLY me. Too bad we all live so far apart... and, well the fact that they will probably avoid me forever more since I have just labeled myself their official stalker... LOL
