I won 1st Prize in the FIRST LO contest I ever entered sponsored by A Scrapbookers Legacy in Oak Lawn, Illinois: a complimentary weekend retreat at The Scrapbook Manor in Wisconsin! This includes all meals and lodging....

BIGGEST FAUX PAS
On my last trip to Sweden, I ran into King Gustav at a disco in Stockholm where he asked me to dance! I stupidly declined - but my lovely sister accepted and danced with the King! True story - but this was Before Scrapbooking - so I don't have photos!
