iNSD 2016: Getting to Know You

[tlcd1961]

(01) How long have you been digitally scrapping?
I started digital scrapbooking in 2006. I won a digital camera in 2004. At that time I purchased Photoshop Elements 3. I could not figure it out. Finally took a class, but decided it was too expensive to print! In 2006 I was introduced to “Scrapping Simply” and a little later to Persnickety Prints. At $2.00 a page I was in heaven!
(02) When or how did you first discover SSD?
I cannot remember when – I do remember that I found the Christmas Advent Calendar and that is how I discovered SSD.
(03) What's your favorite non-scrapping way to unwind after a hard day?
Watching TV – Especially Survivor!

(04) What's the last show you binge-watched?
We finally subscribed to Netflicks. I have been watching every Star Trek series that is available. LOVE!
(05) What's your biggest pet peeve?
People at work who spend hours standing around complaining about how much work they have to do. Well – if you would just get to work you might get it done!
(06) What's your best quality?
I am extremely dependable.
(07) Where did you go on your last vacation?
We went to Oklahoma City to go to the zoo, Omniplex, and the White Water (water park). We don’t travel a lot!
(08) What's your favorite time of day? Why?
Evening. I love to sit outside when it is cool. I just love the sunsets and the soft sunlight. I like it even better if we have some big clouds (not severe weather – just clouds!).
(09) What was your worst (first) date like?
I had just turned 16 and ended up with my best friend in her brother’s car. He decided to “like” me to put it mildly. I basically thought he was a jerk. My lack of experience really hurt me here because I did not want to hurt his feelings. It was a horrible evening that lasted about 3 months. BAD memories!
(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house?
Brisket smoked in the oven for 3 or 4 hours and then sliced and a bbq sauce added.
(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not?
The one thing I would like to change is my first, very short marriage. No harm done, but it has been an embarrassment to me my whole life. I am afraid to say I would change anything – what if it caused me not to meet my husband now? I can’t imagine my life without my boys (and now my grands). I would have to say I would not change a thing. I am a lucky girl!

(12) If you could be a character in a book, TV show, or movie, whom would you choose & why?
It would have to be someone on Star Trek. Maybe Deanna Troy. I love the idea of exploring new worlds and being able to read minds and learn languages would be cool!

(13) What's your least favorite household chore?
All of them. Sorry. Dishes.

(14) What's one thing you know to be true?
My love for my family. I would do anything for them.

(15) What are you looking forward to doing or seeing this year?
Love that White Water trip! We also want to go to an aquarium. I think my grands would be fascinated.

(16) If you had to choose, would you choose to be obnoxiously smart or obnoxiously rich?
I think obnoxiously rich. Then I can buy the information from the obnoxiously smart AND have every digital kit (and paper kit) that I want!

(17) What's your favorite memory of/with your family? Why is it your favorite?
We had a Thanksgiving that was just wonderful. We had invited some guys from the air force base that had nowhere to go and a family from my work. Everybody got along so well. We had just moved into our current home and had plenty of room. The guys from the base played football with my son who was 7 at the time. It was just a perfect day!

(18) Who is your hero/ine? Why?
My brother-in-law, Paul McEndree (now deceased). He was more like a father to me. He and my sister were 17 and dating when I was born. He was ALWAYS there for me. He fixed everything for me and took excellent care of my sister. They never had and children, so they treated me like theirs. He died a horrible death from cancer eating away at him and never complained once. I loved him dearly.

(19) What's been the best/favorite (Halloween) costume you've ever worn?
My sister made me a “Little Bo Peep” costume when I was 6. It had a hoop skirt and a yarn wig. My brother in law made the hoop skirt to fit me perfectly and made the Sheppard’s hook to go along with it. I loved it!

(20) What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Braum’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. Yum. I could make myself sick on it!

[aurian]

(01) How long have you been digitally scrapping?
I started in 2010, when I was pregnant with my eldest child and I wanted to learn how to scrap a pregnancy album.

(02) When or how did you first discover SSD?
I'm pretty sure that it was through The Daily Digi or another similar site (many years ago though!).

(03) What's your favourite non-scrapping way to unwind after a hard day?
A cup of (rooibos) tea and chatting with my husband.

(04) What's the last show you binge-watched?
The 100 (on Netflix).

(05) What's your biggest pet peeve?
Two-faced people, those who put on fake niceties etc.

(07) Where did you go on your last vacation?
Hobart, Tasmania (Australia)

(08) What's your favourite time of day? Why?
Late at night when everyone is asleep except me. Then I feel like my time is entirely my own and I don't have to feel guilt as to dividing my time between other people and/or tasks. I also like the stillness of the night.

(09) What was your worst (first) date like?
Pretty terrible. I was 17 at the time and was on a group meet-up at a zoo for an IRC (chat) channel with some friends of mine. A guy and I had hit it off previously and while I can't remember much about the animals that day, I certainly remember that this guy was a shocking kisser! (no tact whatsoever)

(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house?
Pavlova!

(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not?
I think that life would have been very different (although I'm not sure in what kind of way) had my parents remained married and my father remained faithful to my mother. They divorced when I was a teen, and to this day I still have a disconnected relationship with my father.

(12) If you could be a character in a book, TV show, or movie, whom would you choose & why?
A tough question...I'd love to be one of the companions from Doctor Who (or possibly a student at Hogwarts)!

(13) What's your least favourite household chore?
Putting away clean washing (laundry). I don't mind washing or folding it, but putting it all away is something I end to put off doing until absolutely necessary.

(14) What's one thing you know to be true?
That it takes a lot more energy and thought to be unhappy rather than happy. This is something that I've learnt during the past year or so, while in recovery from post-natal depression.

(15) What are you looking forward to doing or seeing this year?
The Christmas season, it's my favourite time of the year. I love the busy-ness, the hype and the anticipation (especially now that I have children).

Obnoxiously smart (although that describes my husband to a tee already! :P)

Going on holidays (vacations) during Autumn and walking in crunchy leaves, breathing in mountain air and crisp mornings.

(18) Who is your hero/ine? Why?
A daggy response, but probably my mother. She's been through a lot, and even now makes sacrifices to help our family out.

(19) What's been the best/favourite (Halloween) costume you've ever worn?
Shiva from Final Fantasy X (a video game). I wore full blue body paint and glitter, it was an awesome costume.

(20) What's your favourite ice cream flavour?
Either dark chocolate, or honeycomb (I can't decide, and now I feel like ice cream!)

[kendallt]

(01) How long have you been digitally scrapping? Since Dec. 2009.

(02) When or how did you first discover SSD? I can't remember exactly how, but I think I heard about it from another site or maybe from searching online for scrapbook supplies. I do remember some of the first kits I ever bought were from Misty Cato and Melissa Bennett.

(03) What's your favorite non-scrapping way to unwind after a hard day? I'd say either a nap or dinner, conversation, and cocktails with good friends.

(04) What's the last show you binge-watched? Fuller House

(05) What's your biggest pet peeve? Loud noises.

(06) What's your best quality? I'm easy to talk to and get along with.

(07) Where did you go on your last vacation? Real vacation - Hilton Head. But I did spend last weekend in Charlotte for my DD's cheer competition.

(08) What's your favorite time of day? Why? If it's a day off from work, my favorite time of day is early morning because I feel most optimistic and motivated then. If it's a work day, my favorite time of day is usually around 4 pm when I get home from work and picking up DD from school because I can finally relax and unwind a bit.

(09) What was your worst (first) date like? I went out for drinks with a guy, who spent most of the night on his phone and left me at our table alone for a loooong time while he chatted with people he knew at the bar.

(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house? My boyfriend usually makes buffalo chicken dip. It's very popular among our friends!

(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not? Yes. I wish I'd waited until I was older/wiser to get married and start a family. I got married super young before I really had a chance to grow up or get to know myself, and the marriage didn't work out unfortunately.

(12) If you could be a character in a book, TV show, or movie, whom would you choose & why? The first thing that comes to mind is Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City (minus her selfishness and bad relationships). I mean, who wouldn't want to live in NYC and have a job they enjoy, a fabulous wardrobe, and an amazing group of friends?

(13) What's your least favorite household chore? Mopping. I detest it.

(14) What's one thing you know to be true? Life isn't always fair or easy, but everything happens when and how it's supposed to.

(15) What are you looking forward to doing or seeing this year? Right now, I'm looking forward to summer! It's my favorite time of year.

(16) If you had to choose, would you choose to be obnoxiously smart or obnoxiously rich? Well, if I were obnoxiously smart, I could figure out how to turn that into something that makes me money, right?

(17) What's your favorite memory of/with your family? Why is it your favorite? When I was a child, we took summer vacations to the mountains, to visit relatives, etc. I always look back on those memories fondly because we had so much fun together.

(18) Who is your hero/ine? Why? My mom is my hero in a lot of ways because she's so strong and is the most genuinely good person I know.

(19) What's been the best/favorite (Halloween) costume you've ever worn? This past Halloween, we threw a big Halloween party for all our friends and had a blast. I wore a Grecian-inspired costume, and it was a lot of fun.

(20) What's your favorite ice cream flavor? This is a hard one...maybe Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

(06) What's your best quality? Hmmmm….so hard to say nice things about myself, but I suppose that I love with all that I have, I don’t know any other way.

(07) Where did you go on your last vacation? Kissimmee, Florida

(08) What's your favorite time of day? Why? Early morning…it’s just me and quiet time before all the chaos of the day begins.

(09) What was your worst (first) date like? Well, the only first date that I can really remember is my first date with my now husband…his mom fixed us up, he had an accident in his car the day before we went out, so he had to use his moms van, which broke down several times on the way to town for the date (you know there were jokes later about “running out of gas in the sticks”!!!), we had to take my daughter to my ex in-laws (talk about uncomfortable!) because her dad didn’t bother to show up to pick her up for the weekend and we picked a terrible movie and then the van broke down again on the way home!!

(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house? If I am going to someone’s house they usually request my homemade cheesecake

(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not? Mostly not (I love my life and wouldn’t change really anything because I wouldn’t be where I am if I did)…that being said, there is one thing that I might change if I could, it would be when my dad was in the hospital…we thought he was going to surgery and would be back out, we didn’t (or at least I didn’t) believe the doctor when they told us that he may not make it out alive…he did, but he didn’t come back truly with us and never regained consciousness…I didn’t take the time to tell him what he meant to me, we didn’t know each other all of our lives like a lot of fathers and daughters so I feel like I should have told him how much our short time with him had meant to me and how much I loved him.

(12) If you could be a character in a book, TV show, or movie, whom would you choose & why? I love Lorelai Gilmore, she is strong, brave, witty and goes after what she wants

(17) What's your favorite memory of/with your family? Why is it your favorite? Hmmm, there are so many, and aside from the birth of my children and grandchildren, I would probably pick a certain game night all of us were playing Catch Phrase and we all began laughing, I laughed so hard that I threw up a little bit on the table, gross I know, but I have 3 drama queens and it was a time when we all laughed and had FUN!!!

(18) Who is your hero/ine? Why? My granny, because she raised 7 children by herself after my grandfather passed away at a very young age. She never dated, never remarried and raised those 7 kids in a 2 bedroom house by cleaning houses for others and ironing others clothes. She will always be the person I strive to be most like.

(19) What's been the best/favorite (Halloween) costume you've ever worn? When I was little my mom made me a “Queen of Hearts” costume, I love looking at those photos and even remember that evening, what fun we had!

[angiepangie]

I've been ridiculously busy this weekend (which seems to have been the norm for the past couple of months) so I didn't have the chance to join in iNSD, but thankfully I still have the time to do this!

(01) How long have you been digitally scrapping?
Almost five years.

(02) When or how did you first discover SSD?
When Becca opened her store here.

(03) What's your favorite non-scrapping way to unwind after a hard day?
A bath with Lush products, a big pot of herbal tea and video games.

(04) What's the last show you binge-watched?
Fuller House, only because of the way it was released. Usually I watch shows as they're being released on TV.

(05) What's your biggest pet peeve?
Liars. I'm a really good judge of character and always know a lot more than they realize. I see right through it all, so it grinds my gears when they keep doing it. I'm always pleasant towards them as I believe in kindness above anything else, but it makes my blood boil when people lie so compulsively and pathologically, especially when their only motivation is to bring a person down due to their own negative thoughts and insecurities.

(06) What's your best quality?
I'm always told that I am kind, above all else. I was told today by a parent at school that I'm one of the few genuinely kind parents there - which is such a sweet thing to say, but at the same time I think it's so sad that so few are showing genuine kindness towards her at school. I'm also the queen of organization - within the home, schedules, business, etc... I'm never late.

(07) Where did you go on your last vacation?
Almost two years ago to Sydney, Australia. We usually go on annual vacations, however last year we completed major house renovations instead.

(08) What's your favorite time of day? Why?
A clear night. I have a massive professional telescope and I find it so exciting to explore outer space, especially considering how valuable "amateur astronomers" have become in recent years. My son is also showing a lot of interest in it too and I'm so happy that he's now old enough to join in.

(09) What was your worst (first) date like?
I was about 13 or 14. A guy who had a major crush on me for almost a decade was present for my first kiss - but I was kissing another guy. Awkward much?

(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house?
My husband and I do an epic roast meal, either on the spit in our Ariston oven or on the Weber. To be honest we rarely go over to anyone else's house - family and friends always comes here instead, so it must be good.

(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not?
I'm the person I am today, with the husband and children I have and love so dearly, because of what has occurred in my life. So I'd change nothing. Oh, except for the last time I saw my Dad before he died. I wish I had said more, but I was 21 and in shock. Thankfully I was able to say what I wanted to Mum as she died four years later - I get comfort from the fact I learned from it.

(12) If you could be a character in a book, TV show, or movie, whom would you choose & why?
Anyone in Star Trek the Next Generation. It shows such a positive, optimistic future and if I could explore outer space, I would in a heartbeat.

(13) What's your least favorite household chore?
Nothing stands out, however I loathe doing anything when my shoulder is dislocated, which is often. Thankfully I have a husband who helps out a lot, whether it's dislocated or not.

(14) What's one thing you know to be true?
There's nothing brave or heroic about what you had a part in. It's the way in which you handled the situation that shows your true bravery and strength.

(15) What are you looking forward to doing or seeing this year?
This winter, we're staying in a cabin up in the mountains. Snow isn't common in the cities here so it'll be fun to actually live in it for a few days.

(16) If you had to choose, would you choose to be obnoxiously smart or obnoxiously rich?
I'm often told that I'm smart, but I definitely have days where I'd prefer to be rich haha.

(17) What's your favorite memory of/with your family? Why is it your favorite?
That is so tough since I have so many beautiful memories with them. We're not the sort of family to go off and do things individually - we do nearly everything together as we genuinely enjoy each others' company, so I have so many favourite memories.

(18) Who is your hero/ine? Why?
My Mum. Anyone who could lead the journey she did with cancer and die with the grace, strength and dignity she displayed will always be my heroine. My husband's also my hero - he does so much for our family, above and beyond what other husbands/fathers would do and he is always my pillar of support. He has been through so much and showed such incredible strength and maturity. Seriously, I'd be a mental wreck if I had to deal with half of what he has, especially when he was a kid. He's an incredible human being.

(19) What's been the best/favorite (Halloween) costume you've ever worn?
We don't really celebrate Halloween here so I've never worn one, but I made up for it with all of the dancing costumes I wore. (I was a competitive dancer in my younger years)

(20) What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Caramel, hands down.
