Introducing My Team

I mentioned on facebook a week or two ago to watch for spotlights on my awesome CT members. Well here they come. I am starting with the ones that have been with me the longest. They started with me when I was giving freebies away on the blog! They came from Meagan's Creation's awesome team. Meagan is the one who encouraged this adventure to begin with! I'm so happy to have such awesome digiworld friends and such a great team. So without further ado, my first CT member....LAUREN

(isn't she gorgeous!)


1. Where do you live/where are you from? 
I am a born and raised Texan!! 

2. Tell us about your family
I have been married to my husband for almost 6 years. We have 4 beautiful daughters (3 are his from a previous relationship and then we have 1 daughter together.) Paige is 11, totally pre-teen and moody!!! Emma and Tori are twins. They are 9 years old and love to fight about nothing! Addison is the baby! She is 3 years old...terrible 3's! She is refusing to take a nap, but she passes out on the couch around 2 or 3! haha And she LOVES to pester her older sisters, she's really good at that!

3. What do you get excited about? Hobbies?
I love to listen and dance around to music! I LOVE to read! In the past 2 weeks, I've read AT LEAST seven books...yup SEVEN!!!! I have to put my book away or I'll never get any sleep! And, of course, I love to scrap!

4. Give us some favs....food, color, place, vacations...etc feel free to elaborate!
My favorite color is pink! My favorite food is anything my MeeMaw makes! My favorite TV Shows are Revenge, Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, Once Upon A Time, Grey's Anatomy, I could go on and on and on and on! I am a TV junkie! My favorite place to be is the lake! We are looking at boats so that we can enjoy the lake more often! 

5. What is your job?

I am an AP Associate for an Oil & Gas Company in Houston, Texas.

6. Tell us something crazy about you that few people would guess.
I can't really think of anything that is crazy about me. I love to watch football, if it's the Texans! And this is kinda a crazy fact, I guess, my papa and my dad are 25 years apart (they were both born in August), my dad and I are 25 years apart and Addison and I 25 years apart (we were both in July). My dad, Addison and I are all "first born" children, though Addison has 3 older sisters, she is my first child.

7. What are you afraid of or grossed out by? 

I'm not really afraid of anything but I get grossed out by the sound/smell of vomit. 

8. Who is your hero?

My MeeMaw is my hero. She is one of the strongest women I know! She has had, and beaten, breast cancer TWICE! She has been married to my Papa for over 50 years!! She is always there for me when I just need someone to lend an ear and she doesn't judge! 

9. Tell us about a typical day in the life of you. 
I work outside of the home so, I get up around 5am every morning. I get myself ready and then I wake up Addison and get her ready for daycare. I wake up my hubs before we leave. I drop her off at daycare around 6:30 and then head in to work. I have to be there at 7:30. I work til 4:30 and my husband pick up Addison from daycare on his way home from work. I get home around 5:30 and start dinner. After dinner, it's bathtime for Addison. We watch some Netfilx, read some books and then bedtime for Addison at 8. I take a shower and then watch TV with hubs and scrapbook at the same time.  Tuesdays are dance night for Addison, so we don't get home til about 7:30 and it kinda throws off our schedule! 

10. When and why did you start scrapping?
I started scrapping in high school. My mom was a Creative Memories Consultant and I started decorating my binders with pictures of my friends. My mom made my high school scrapbooks and after high school I started doing my own. 

11. What is your fav thing to scrap about?

My favorite thing to scrap about are my kids. It's pretty much all I scrap!


Here is my favorite layout from Lauren:

Scrap For John and Lahni

If any of you were following the story about (QueenWild) Lahni's husband John when he was electrocuted on the job last month you will already know this story.  For those of you that haven't heard here is the story.

On Wednesday October 23rd, John was working in Banff. He was up in the bucket, working with streat lights and received an electric shock. He was taken to the hospital via STARS air ambulance. He was put into a medically induced coma for 24 hours as he had been without oxygen for 5-15 minutes and the hypothermic state was to help minimize the possible brain damage.  He is expected to make a full recovery and is out of the hospital and back home with his family at this time.

We came together as designers here and from some other stores to show our support for Lahni and John by making this kit to help raise some money for their lodging and food while John was in the hospital and to help with donations to STARS - the air ambulance that most probably saved John's life.
