If you could go on vacation ANYWHERE, where would it be? Why?

ohhh....good question. There are so many places to go on my list of things to do before I die. (Yes...I have such a list. Languages to learn, places to visit, classes to take, etc.)

Anyway....I think I'd like to go to Antigua. That's where I went on my Honeymoon last June. I fell and ruptured three ligaments in my right ankle there. I'd like to go back and do all the things that my DH and I missed out on...like walking along the beach during the day, kayaking on the ocean, and wearing my US flag bathing suit on the Fourth of July. (I had just such a great bikini I was going to wear after dinner on the 4th...and wouldn't ya know, that's the evening I fell!!!)

Harry Potter 3 - The Prisoner of Azkaban

What is your favorite book?
Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Hi, I'm new here and what a way to get right into the mix! LOL

How many albums have you completed? hmmm around 12 (not counting the many I've given away as gifts!)

How many years worth of photos do you have? over 100 (inherited) but my own personal: 38 yrs worth. (ok so I'll be 38 next month!) I've actually only got 4 yrs of "current" photos unscrapped, plus my wedding album and ALL my childhood and heritage stuff.

What is your favorite embellishment? tags and eyelets

What colors do you find yourself ALWAYS using? shades of blue and earth tones

How long have you been scrapping? 10 yrs

If you could go on vacation ANYWHERE, where would it be? Why? I'd be content to go to the potty alone right now! I guess if I would get to go on vacation I'd love to go somewhere just for me. No more beach, no more Disney, no more relatives homes, no more amusement parks! I'd love to tour Europe in the spring with just my dh! Relax and eat what I want. Not feed people who are always saying "I'm not eating that!" and not changing any diapers!

What is your favorite book? besides the Bible... I love "Little Women" and have read "The Stand" about 10 times! LOL I love re-reading all those "children's classics" with my kids now (Little House, TLOTR, Redwall, etc.)

If you could have anything for dinner (and didn't have to cook it) what would it be? Who cares! I'll eat anything! And it's a plus if I don't have to cook! LOL

And just for fun....Innie or Outie? innie

How many albums have you completed?
You mean you actually complete albums???

How many years worth of photos do you have? almost 42. that doesn't count all the pics that my MIL gave me. None labeled, haven't a clue who these people are...neither does she!

What is your favorite embellishment? Does the page protector count? That means I finally finished a page.

What colors do you find yourself ALWAYS using? Usually red or yellow.

How long have you been scrapping? 4 years.

If you could go on vacation ANYWHERE, where would it be? Why? I'd take my DH and go to Australia...alone. We've talked about cycling there and it would be noce to get away together and "re-romance" each other. ( is that a word?) Leaving the kids in very capable hands of course!

What is your favorite book? the Bible is my favorite. I seem to keep reading Miss Spiders Tea Party a lot though.

If you could have anything for dinner (and didn't have to cook it) what would it be? Anything that I don't have to cook would be nice. I would like some of that shrimp stuff that they make at Nakatos, a Japanese steak house where we used to live. I don't think I ever knew the name. The salad there is heavenly too.

And just for fun....Innie or Outie? I was an innie before children, now I'm an outie.

Mona

]How many albums have you completed?

How long have you been scrapping?

6 months +

If you could go on vacation ANYWHERE, where would it be? Why?

Hmmmmm, I think Tahiti. I love the beach, I really love exoticness (is that a word?) and it just sounds like fun. (I have been to a lot of Europe already, and that always feels like more of a "trip" than a "vacation" - know what I mean? ) (I do love the Carribean, but since you said anywhere in the world, I made it more exotic and more expensive)

What is your favorite book?

Tough one! I have soooo many favs. Just recently I read "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant (it is about Dinah, sister of the 12 sons of Jacob in Genesis) an excellent book! Midwifery in biblical times! I have loved all of the Harry Potter books - #3 being my fav. of those. I don't know. There are too many.

If you could have anything for dinner (and didn't have to cook it) what would it be?

The spaghetti carbonara I had in a restaurant called "La Gallieta Bianca" in Rome. It was absolute heaven. Plus, a caesar salad, hot garlic bread, fried zucchini, and the birthday cake my mom makes me every year!

I have 4 albums of completed pages, but haven't arranged them in order yet. I want to scrap all my old pics before I arrange the album.

I have photos going back 19 yrs. and plan on stealing my mom's photos to scrap.

Right now my favorite embellishment is chalk. I can't wait to try embossing and eyelets (just waiting for the package to arrive)

I find I use a lot of blues, greens, and purples.

I've been scrapping for almost 3 years, but have to redo the early pages (omg are they hideous!)

If I could vacation any where, I would go to Lake Havasu City, AZ because 1) the London Bridge is there and 2) so is my mom and dad and I really miss them. Besides, when you live in Japan you deal with the exotic every day.

My favorite book(s) would be the Disc World series. They are so funny!

If I could have anything for dinner I would have Papa John's thin crust peperoni pizza with cheesy sticks because the Japanese CAN NOT make a good pizza (think ham and egg pizza .. ewww). Then I would go to a mexican restraunt and get REAL mexican food cooked by people from Mexico (you know the ones that know how to cook it). I love mexican food and am having withdrawls. Then I would have a big beefy hamburger from EZ Take Out with cheese, lettuce, and pickles. Oh.... the American food, how I miss it!

Right now I'm and innie, give me a few more weeks and I'll be an outie :-)

What a great poll!!

Albums completed: 7 with 3 separate albums partially done. My heritage project will be about 18 to 20 albums...but this is moving very slowly.

Years worth of photos: Hundreds of heritage pictures dating from the 1840's to the 1940's. Then most of my own pictures from 1938 to now. Good grief...I'll never live long enough to get this all done...especially if I keep organizing and rearranging things.

Favorite embellishment: Right now tags, mesh, crimping (I got a new crimper today), and sewing on pages.

Colors always using: I use earth tones and muted "victorian era" colors for the heritage pages. For more modern pages, lots of red, green, and blue.

How long scrapping? The right way for 5 years. The wrong way since I was a teenager...whew, that was a LONG time ago.

Vacation where? Abroad: Definitely Scotland. In the states: Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon (we go camping in these places at least once a year, sometimes twice, and I never get enough of their beauty).

Favorite book: Besides the Bible, my all-time favorites are "Loving God" and "The Body" (of Christ), both by Chuck Colson.

Dinner: A 12 ounce(make that a 16 ounce) T-bone steak with a huge baked potato smothered in sour cream, and a gigantic caesar salad with garlic croutons. (I just joined Weight Watchers last week and I'm starving!!!)

Innie!!!
