Inside The Creative Studio with Sue Wilson

We will be spending a little time throughout the year getting to know each of the members of my Creative Team. Our first layout designer that I’d like to introduce you to is Sue Wilson. I picked Sue to go first because she is game for anything. I call her the “cheerleader” of the team. On the day my store at Little Dream Designs opened, I woke up and was greeted with the cheeriest email from Sue giving me very enthusiastic RaRa!!! (Designers, I don’t want you to all get the same idea and grab Sue for you own because I really need her too!!!)  At the end of the interview, Sue shares her creativity by giving us a very cool template! Be sure to download it and leave some love for her!!
OK, Here are the questions that Sue answered for us..
Where do you live? Where do you wish you lived?
I live in a town called Abingdon, which is approximately 7 miles outside of the historic university city of Oxford in England. I’ve lived here for 17 yrs, but prior to moving here, I was a bit of a nomad … my dad was in the Royal Air Force, so we moved around … A LOT! I like living here because it’s pretty close to some of the UK’s best cities like London, Bath, Birmingham. The only down-side is that hubby’s and my families both live in Scotland and it takes around 7 hrs to drive there to visit them.
Does your name suit you?
I think so. My name is actually Suzanne, but I’ve been known as Sue for quite some time now. When I was younger, my mum used to call me Suzy Bluesy … but only because it rhymed.
Do you go by any nicknames that we should know about?
I’ve never had a nickname, other than the Suzy Bluesy thing from my mum. Hubby calls me Honey … sweet, ain’t he?
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I had no idea. In fact, I’ve still got no idea. LOL!!! When I was 18 I applied to join the Royal Air Force to work as an air traffic controller … YIKES … if you weren’t scared of flying before hand, you would be knowing I was in control of the skies around you!!!
What’s the biggest decision you've made, what if you'd gone the other way?
See the answer above!
What’s a goal that you are proud that you’ve accomplished?
I passed my driving test on my first attempt … that’s quite a big deal for me. The driving test here in the UK is pretty tough, consisting of both a theory test and a practical driving test. I’m proud to say I got 100% on the theory test.
What was your first job?
Working in a bar. Actually that’s where I met my hubby.
Where would your life be if you married your first boyfriend?
Yikes what a question! No idea [again]! I don’t even know where in the world he lives now. We both lived in Germany at the time and he was in the British Army.
If you could live in any decade what decade would it be and why?
Definitely the 1950’s. I’d love to wear those gorgeous frocks and get dressed up to go grocery shopping. Not sure I could live without my laptop or mobile phone though, and I guess I’d be paper scrapping rather than digi-scrapping!!!
Who was your first crush? Did you ever tell him/her about your feelings?
My first and only crush was on the actor Andrew McCarthy; he was in films such as St Elmo’s Fire, Mannequin and Pretty In Pink. He was usually the tall geeky guy behind Rob Lowe or Emilio Estevez, but I thought he was cute.
What is your favorite color?
I’m a real fan of ALL colours. My wardrobe is pretty colourful and I particularly like bright, bold colours. Pastel colours don’t really suite me, but I love them in home décor. My scrap room is painted pale green, has a large white shelf unit (from IKEA) and pink accents all over the place.
What are your foods?
It’s probably easier to say which foods I don’t like … cauliflower and sushi … yucky! Everything else … yummy!
What is your favorite vacation destination?
I adore the Maldives! Hubby and I have been five times, and each time we visit, we stay on a different island. They all have soft white sandy beaches, warm clear turquoise lagoons and pretty much year round sunshine … they are the perfect place to relax.
What are your favorite herb / spices?
Coriander (aka cilantro I think) is my favourite herb, it’s so versatile. Tear is up and serve on top of chili, rip it up and serve with mozzarella and tomato salad, add it to salad leaves and chuck it in a tortilla with tzatziki dressing …. Mmmmmmmm, I’m drooling just thinking about it!!
I just LOVE the fun template that Sue created for us!!!
It was created from a variety of my kits.
