Hello to everyone I have a lot to ramble so pull up your Diet Coke, Coke, Coffee, Lemonade, Hot Tea or what you have to drink and get comfy..
It is an exciting time for me. It is almost a year since I started this blog and what a year it has been. I am proud to announce that I have come to the point where I realize I don’t use my files to their potential and so therefore a Creative Team is born. I have a few to members announce and am announcing them as they send me their pictures and bios. Today’s Creative Team Member announcement is Karen aka Scrappin Mama. You may be familiar with her work because I have posted them here many times and they are all included along the left of today’s post. I look forward to seeing her projects come in and working with her.
Hi everyone. My name is Karen Krumpe, aka “scrappinmama” on the message boards.
I’m a full time house wife, mother of 3 girls and grandmother of 6 (Soon to be 7).
I have always been pretty crafty, but 5 years ago, my daughter talked me into trying
something that I hadn’t tried before. She was all excited about”Scrapbooking”. I put off
trying it for a long time, but finally did it, just so she would shut up. What can I say? I
have now become an addict and if there is a cure, PLEASE don’t tell me what it is. I’m
having too much fun! When I first heard of the Silhouette, I thought “Wow, I’ll never have to buy another alphabet set again.” Little did I know, at the time, just what amazing things this machine could produce. Thanks to the many message boards, and designers like Chris, I have found the possibilities unlimited. I’m so excited to be a part of this team and look forward to sharing my layouts with you all, as well as seeing what others have to share.
Thank you Karen for joining the Creative Team! See the next Creative Team Member tomorrow!!

Chris,
My husband and I are also looking forward to Superbowl Sunday. I made a cheesy buffalo wing dip recently and it was great. I also love spinach dip. Yum! We will be rooting for Brett Favre (I hope he cleans the Patriots clocks — ’cause you just know they will win next weekend). I don’t know what it is about the Patriots, but I can’t stand them. I am a huge Colts fan, so last weekend was very disappointing. Now I will root for the Packers. Go Cheeseheads!

Chris, they do have Guitar Hero for Wii – the kids received it for Christmas – we have guitar hero for Ps2, Wii and because they had to have Rock Band, we now have a Ps3. Rock Band comes not only with a guitar, but drums and a microphone for singing. We are just one musical family – just don’t ask the kids or hubby to play a song without the games running – the wouldn’t know what chords to hit.
