Hi everyone!

Please add me to your list Jess! I want to play! My MQ is posted under my avatar. I am going to take my time and fill these out when I get up in the morning.

1. What are your hobbies? Cardmaking, papercrafting, scrapbooking, altering items, machine embroidery, memory quilting, and photography.

2. What are your favorite colors? pink, pink, and more pink. LOL And any blend that goes with the pink.

3. Do you collect anything? Yes, whenever I find a paper that I REALLY like, I make sure that I get as many coordinating things as I can to match (like the 6x6, 8x8, 12x12 paper packs with all the chipboard and ribbons and embellishments from the same collection)

4. Coffee, tea or chocolate? Stash's green chai tea

5. Describe one of your family tradition's at Christmas? We always open one gift on Christmas Eve

6. Did you believe in Santa as a child? Still Do!!!

7. When do you open presents? Christmas morning

8. What are your holiday theme/colors? Colors everywhere. I hang as many lightstrings as possible from every doorway, archway, window, staircase... Most of the strings are colored, except the mantle I use glittery white garland with clear lights and make it look like a cloud and I put my porcelain nativity that my Granny made/painted for me. There is a mirror above the mantle, so it really (and especially now) has a heavenly glow. There are NO nerf guns allowed anywhere near the mantle. LOL I'll post pic of the nativity. It's beautiful. I have nativities in almost every room, one of them is my first nativity. Setting up my nativity was always one of my favorite things to do, so I had to have one that my boys could set up and was theirs to take care of. My tree has colored lights. DH always kids me and says with the amount of lights that I hang, we don't need to turn on any lights. (He's right ) Christmas is my favorite holiday and it should be filled with light and joy.

9. When do you put up your tree? Wait a minute, we have to take it down??? Haha. As close to Thanksgiving as possible.

10. One craft item you can't live without? Paper!!!

11. Anything you do not want? Flat stickers

12. Two things you would LOVE to have? I would love a mini album. I'm so busy making things for everyone else, I do not have even 1 mini album. I would LOVE one. And oh, boy could I use a new set of the "B" cutting pads for my Cuttlebug. Mine are so warped and cut and wavy now. I have to use makeshift shims single in some places, double in others. LOL

13. What kinds of projects are you working on? Memory quilt for my niece, starting planning on homemade Christmas presents.

14. Favorite junk food? Doritoes
15. Whats your favorite candy/chocolate? Sugar free Twizzlers
16. What is your favorite techniques? Starting to play with making custom inkpads for different stamps. Also, Alcohol inks.

17. Any allergies?ALL Nuts (except walnuts,pecans, and almonds -I can eat), fish and seafood

18. What would you like as stash items? Zig glue pens, Crinkle ribbon, pop dots...lots of pop dots, Scraperfect brand "Best Glue Ever" (it really is), washi tape to try ( I don't have any), and any blingy fun embellishment.

Yay! Fun! Have a great day!

Good idea Janice!

I am Traci, I have been married to my wonderful husband almost 20 yrs. We have three kids: Madelyn, 17, is beginning her senior year in HS, Nolan is 16 and a sophomore, and Olivia is 11 and beginning 6th grade. We are a busy family with three music loving kids, we run from lessons to football games to watch them perform. We have two cats not my choice but the kids and DH love them. I just quit working to be a full time wife and mom plus I am still trying to figure out who I want to be when I grow up!

Where can I find the master questions to fill out? I think I may have done it, but it would have been years ago.

Ok, One more question on the MQ. How do I get what posting I am on in my profile for all to see? I sent a MSG to customer service and they told me there was no way to do so. I see others with Location in their profile and next to it is the posting of their MQ.

Thanks for all the help!

I would love to join in! I will answer the questions later today! Thanks!

lol The twins are great But they are my first two so I dont know what its like to just have one lol

Good morning, everyone! I am so excited about participating in this and am looking forward to being a Secret Santa!!! My name is Sharon. I live in Louisiana and have 2 children that I adore: my son Alex is 24 and my daughter Sydney is 20. I am not working right now, but plan on going back to work in January. I had taken 1 1/2 years off to spend more time with my mother and take her to doctor's appts, chemo, physical therapy. She had breast cancer and I lost her a few months ago. She was my absolute best friend and adjusting to life without her has been difficult but I have a WONDERFUL family who have given me so much love and support. I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have been able to spend so much time with my mom before she passed away.

I have been in a relationship with a very kind and loving man for 5 years. We are both big, big LSU sports fans that "bleed purple and gold!" We have season tickets to the football, basketball and baseball games, but our favorite, by far, are the football games! Down here in Louisiana, it's a "religion!"

I've loved crafts and crafting for years. I started scrapbooking in 2005 and am just now starting to try my hand at card making. I LOVE Pinterest to look at all of the different cards and get ideas.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

I have my partner, now let the fun begin.
