What do you do IRL?

I love music, too! I used to sing in choirs, but it got to where I couldn't stand for those hour-long choral works, so I had to quit. I did not know that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir had changed its name! I've always wanted to sing with a massive choir like that -- the biggest one I sang with was about 125 when I sang with the San Antonio Symphony Mastersingers -- I was in the choir when it made its Carnegie Hall debut. The choir tour sounds fabulous!! You know we're going to want to see photos!!

I've been scrapbooking digitally since 2009, before that traditionally since 1999. In real life, I work for State Farm's Corporate Headquarters in their in-house advertising agency department (called Creative Services). I'm a senior line producer and work on internal video/photo efforts, external social efforts and recruiting pieces. It requires a lot of long days and overtime, so my scrap time is limited. I try to fit it in when I can.

I work for a large international bank as a writer - I am responsible for the line of business regulatory compliance policy manuals for financial advisors.

I also go to school full time and have a 17 (almost 18) and 15 year old who are incredibly active. In the teeny bit of free time that I have, I like to buy SSD goodies, open Photoshop and mostly think about scrapbooking.

IRL I design digiscrap templates and I'm also a fitness instructor. I teach classes 3x a week in the evening at my gym. My husband and I own an auto salvage yard and I used to work in the office but because of my health I am now a mostly SAHM other than teaching at the gym. In my spare time I digiscrap and I've been doing that since 2007, and I love to read, listen to music and podcasts, go swimming, and do my own workouts and lift weights!

Such fun to get to know everyone a little better!

I'm an HR/Safety Manager - I've been with the same company for 38 years - started when I was only 17, going to college and working full time. These days, however; I'm not so interested in counting how many years I've been with the company, I'm more interested in counting how many years until retirement! Between 1 and 1 1/2 years to go ...

In my spare time I scrap (while watching murder / true crime shows on my iPad) and try to spend as much time as possible with our three grandkiddos (ages 6, 4 and 2).
