My name is Julie and I'm a full time working Mom. I've been married to my college sweetheart for 25 years and we have two really wonderful daughters, a dog and a cat. My youngest will be going to college in the fall, and my oldest on to graduate school so I'll have lots more time for myself and hope to scrapbook more.

My latest big project is a 12 X 12 album to give my daughter for graduation. I'm moving along, but have lots to finish before June!

I'm looking forward to swapping because I love to scrap and have enjoyed "running to get the mail" since I was a little kid with a penpal. Yes, I suppose that dates me as I really had pen pals when I was younger! I think it will be fun to "stuff an envelope" with goodies to surprise someone! Lord knows I have quite the stash to pick from!!

Oh Man!! I've been watching way too much TV lately. For a long time it seemed like there was nothing good on and all of a sudden I have a few new ones that I can't get enough of like Flash Forward, Modern Family and Being Human. And of course, I'm a huge LOST fan!

I love to scrapbook and I love the social aspects of scrapbooking - getting together with friends and seeing their pictures and work is just as much fun as creating my own projects. I also love to quilt and sew and I love to use these supplies and techniques in my scrapbooking.

Most of my albums are 12 X 12, although I've done a number of 6 X 6 albums as gifts. I have way too much stuff from "Close to My Heart" and I don't use much "Creative Memories" stuff at all, although their newer lines are very appealing. My family spoiled me with a Cricut Expression, and I'd like to get the Sure Cuts Alot Software next.

I recently learned about felting, and I've been really interested in trying it out. I've bought a few books and a few supplies, but I haven't done much of anything with it yet!
