All About Me Blog Hop

Welcome to the very first design team Blog Hop for All About Me! If you have been to all the other blogs, you have done it right! My blog is the last one in the hop.

If you landed here first for some reason, you better go to the start. Click here to begin the hop. You don't wanna miss anything. There will be plenty of chances to win prizes along the hop.


Let's start with the new challenge for AAM. We all had to do a layout on the subject: "I can't live without"

There's quite a few things I can't live without...like...internet, tea, hot baths,eyelash curler and so on. But for my layout I chose this:


Our two awesome kids that I can't live without. They truly are my everything!! I miss them when they are in school and I miss them when they sleep ( is that weird?)

I used some bling on my layout which I'm usually allergic to.



The letters are painted black and then I added liquid glass. Looks kinda cool I think.



Now we are moving on to the theme for this Blog Hop; "Free To Be Me"
I like that. "Be yourself. Everybody else is already taken"

Here's some questions...or rather answers... so you can get to know me a bit better;



1. My childhood ambition: to have a garden

2. My retreat: my scrap room

3. The perfect day: PJ day with my family with some time for scrapping

4. My first job was: nurse assistant

5. My wildest dream: to get a face lift

6. If my life was a musical it would be called: "Shout it out!" (I'm referring to the loads of laundry I do every day)

7. My proudest moment: getting a CA drivers licence at age 41

8. My favorite item of clothing: my gray sweat pants

9. I feel ready for the day when I: take a long shower and a have a cup of tea

10. I COULD live without: TV


You guys must be a bit tired now after all this hopping and reading all the blogs. You deserve a prize for making it here to the end.


One lucky winner will receive The Sonoma Collection from Scenic Route. It includes

12 double sided paper
3 sheets of printed kraft cardstock
2 embellishment cardstock sticker sheet
1 label cardstock sticker sheet



All you have to do, to be in the random drawing is:

1. make sure you follow my blog
2. leave a comment on this post and let me know that you follow my blog

I will draw a winner when the hop is over.


Wow! Wasn't this a lot of fun? Now you can take a computer break, hang out here on my blog for a while and check out my tutorials or you can go back to where you started and do it all over again:)

Take care and see you around soon!

I love your layout. I don't think its weird missing your kids, I miss my one when he's gone. We didn't have a TV for about 5 years I got so disgusted with it. It came back (argg!) but is hardly ever on except for movies.

I became a follower today and look forward to reading/seeing more from you!
