Winner, Freebie and Inside Creative Studios

We have a store winner for the February and a Freebie but first...

Inside Creative Studios with Amelia Mayer

Every so often I highlight one of my creative team members in what we call Inside the Creative Studios. The next member to be interviewed is a girl who always wanted to teach (and is), loves crunchy things and is expecting her 2nd child this summer.  At the end of her interview, you can find a quick page that she is sharing with you all. Here is what Amelia (mrsmayer) had to say...

Where do you Live?

I live in Wyoming in a tiny little town of 1000 outside of Jackson Hole. It is a paradise of it’s own, though I do admit that the small-townness of it gets to me a bit being a stay at home mom. Sometimes I just want to be able to take my son to a pool or something when it is nasty out! However, I love that we can essentially bike everywhere most of the year (it is called the Valley of the Warm winds and so snow doesn’t stick for very long) and there is a really great community here. I will miss that someday when we move on.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I have always wanted to be a teacher. I went to college in Washington to do just that and have taken “non-traditional” teaching jobs over the years. However, for the next many years I will be a teacher to my children. I love that. I also love to teach community classes when I can: blogging, digital scrapbooking, and Toddler Gym are my current ones. I also LOVE to learn and am always trying something new. Digital scrapbooking really challenges me and I think that is why I love it so much! I am constantly learning new things.

What's the biggest decision you've made, what if you'd gone the other way?
The biggest decision I’ve made was to marry my husband!! And it has been the BEST decision I have made also. He challenges me to be the best version of myself and is a great husband and Daddy. I am so blessed.

What are some fun facts about yourself; or some quirky thing about yourself;
I can wiggle my ears.

I was named after Amelia Earhart (my dad loves to fly though that is not his profession.)

I grew up in Alaska

I love to create and pride myself on giving homemade gifts and baking/cooking

I really like crunchy or chunky foods (crunchy PB, chunky salsa, guacamole with lots of “stuff” in it, cookies with nuts, coconut, chocolate, etc., you get the idea….)

I am a computer geek.

I NEED my exercise time or I simply go stir-crazy.

I am going to be a Mama of two sometime in July! 

What is your favorite color?
Green! I love earthy colors and LOVE green. In fact, there was a time in my life when I was teaching that the girls I worked with made up a song about how I always wore green. It was hilarious (and a bit embarrassing… )

What are your favorite foods?
I love cheese and crackers and could eat them all the time and be completely happy. I also love bananas (we go through them like crazy at our house) and anything chocolate. I will stop here because I could go on and on (can you tell I am pregnant?!? ;))

Here is Amelia's quick page made with my current kit "You're Simply the Best".
