    First post :-)

    How long have you been scrapping? Started traditional scrapping in 1999. Started digital scrapping in 2007. Although I also used to put all my photos in the old style black page books from Hallmark when I was a kid. Learned that from my mom... she was a scrapper before it was the thing to do!
    What's your fave snack/guilty food pleasure? Dr Pepper and Reese's peanut butter cups or peanut butter M&M's
    What are you currently reading or watching? I've been watching past seasons of The Amazing Race on Amazon. Started with season 1 that I had never seen and am now done through 11. Up next, season 12.
    What's the last vacation you went on and where? (If you have one coming up soon that you are excited about share that if you wish!) 2013 I spent 2 weeks on vacation... first week with my father in North Carolina and the second week with a cousin's family in Orlando. After that week, I've determined that I WILL be moving to FL when I retire in 5 years!
    One random fact about you? My user name is a tribute to a dog that I had for 15.5 years. He was black so I named him Pepper and needed an AKC registered name for him which become Circo Dr Pepper (kennel name first) after my favorite drink. On a forum for the breed, I used a short cut for the breed name "Hava"nese and Dr Pepper. It then became my user name everyone else. Sadly, my little guy went over the rainbow bridge with his almost 14 year old sister (Paige) earlier this month. I'm keeping the name in honor of him.

    When I was younger, I was obsessed with the original trilogy books. I loved how much better I understood what the characters were thinking. LOL. To be 12 again!!! Now I want the new books!! :)

    Oh, and @mommyish, I am beyond addicted to your styles. Especially the paper ones. When I'm too lazy to go searching for a solid to match my layout or I want something that isn't too textured to journal on I scroll and click and am DONE!! mwah!!!

    Yes please!! Do you have a preference? Puffy or chewy or crispy??? I do, depending on my mood.

    Shall I give you my address???

    Well, not new at all. But, I can't resist introducing myself to new people.

    How long have you been scrapping?
    Since 2003, but digi didn't start until 2009, after I had my first son.
    What's your fave snack/guilty food pleasure?
    Brownie Brittle. Seriously, I eat the whole friggin' bag every single time. I don't allow myself to buy it that often.
    What are you currently reading and/or watching?
    I'm reading Fern Michaels' Sisterhood Series. It's a little twisted, but funny & empowering too.
    What's the last vacation you went on and where? (If you have one coming up soon that you are excited about share that if you wish!)
    This past June, we celebrated my five year old son's birthday at Disneyland. I swear, I want to move into Radiator Springs. In August, we had our annual camping trip in Big Basin, CA. That trip always includes time at the Beach Boardwalk & Day Out with Thomas the Train. On Thanksgiving, we spent the day in the snow in Lake Tahoe, CA. Usually, we got to San Diego in February, camping in August, & snow on Thanksgiving. Our little family traditions, no matter how our budget is. We make it happen & it's always so worth it.
    One random fact about you?
    I must multi-task. I get extremely bored & out of sorts if I don't.
