Good things to know! Thanks for sharing them with us….things about me….let’s see

1 - I’m a GREAT procrastinator, whether it’s cleaning, preparing for a workshop, whatever, I work well under pressure, so I think that’s why I put things off until the last minute!

2 - unfortunately, I tend to be a pessimist, and I have pretty low self esteem, but am trying daily to turn those things around!

3 - I am a hopeless romantic, however, DH, is not, so sometimes I do get disappointed, but get over it, because he really is SO wonderful to me and DD

4 - MUST HAVE COFFEE. I like to have a cocktail now and then, but I can not live without my coffee, I’m a java junkie!

5 - My hair is in a horrible transitional phase right now…I had a few great cuts, and this last one…I’m not so happy with, so I’m growing it out, and hoping for the best…the color??? well, when I was a tot, it was strawberry blonde…loved it, then it lightened, and was sandy blonde, and has gotten darker, and darker, haven’t gotten it colored due to the pregnancy, but will once the baby arrives…

6 - I have a TERRIFIC Mom and Dad! They are always helping us out in every way, and I’m SO lucky to have them

7 - I love to watch my daughter sleep, and thank God every day for all of my blessings, family and friends!

Feel free to check it out. (Pictures included to make it more interesting…hehe.)

1. I teach fifth grade at a Christian school. I love my job!
2. I love to read, especially non-fiction kinds of books. I really like things like Case for the Creator (Strobel), Super Baby Food, and The Maker’s Diet right now. I know, maybe I’m weird for all that. I love children’s books, too.
3. I love to bake! If I left teaching, my dream would be to own my own bakery, specializing in cupcakes, sugar cookies, and treats.
4. I have an almost-one-year-old. His name is Cameron and his birthday is this Tuesday, May 1!
5. My favorite normal vacation place is Washington, D.C. (If I could pick anywhere to be, it would be Maui, but how often is that really going to happen?!?)
6. I am addicted to patterned paper! I know….shocker! Most of us are, aren’t we?
7. My favorite little new embellishment is Hero Arts’ sequins….if you haven’t picked some up, get ‘em! They are SUPER fun!

2. I have an 8 year old son Ryan. I have triplets
that are 4. Blake, Lauren and Sarah, who share their
birthday with Elvis.

3. My husband (Jason) and I eloped 12 years ago!! He
is 3 years younger than me! And he is very funny and
handsome.

4. I used to be a travel agent and went to Hawaii for
5 nights for only

$150. (one of the many trips I took) Great deal but
the job paid nothing. So I became a SAHM.

5. From the age of 1-9 I lived overseas in Scotland,
England and Norway. At 9 we moved back to Texas then
California, then back to Texas. Then my junior year
of high school we moved back to England for 1 year. I
have many fond memories of that year and would love to
live there now.

6. I love flip-flops and going barefoot!! The
barefoot part drives my husband crazy (not because he
has a foot fetish, he thinks you should always wear
shoes)

7. I have a big sweet tooth. I love desserts and I
have to have Coke in the morning. The real thing not
diet or caffeine free!! I don’t do coffee.

8. I know I was only suppose to put 7, but I had to
mention, I don’t sleep with any pillows and I talk way
too much. It also drives my husband crazy because I
never stop talking!!!

9. Oh, one last thing, I love to read, bake and cook,
talk on the phone, crochet and work in my yard and
stamp of course (cards only, scrapbooking is too time
consuming for me)

I just want to say I look at your blog everyday!! You
so deserve to be in all these magazines!! You have
really inspired me to stamp more. Thanks for your
great blog!! Hope you and your family have a great
weekend.

I still owe your kidos cards and they will be coming
shortly!! I didn’t forget them!!!!

Shannon Krustchinsky

1) I’m grew up in Tulsa, Ok and would love to go back and live there again. Maybe when DH retires.

2) I’ve been married for almost 9 years to my hunky Marine and we have 2 super cute boys

3) Today a highschool (wearing his baseball uniform) boy smiled and winked at me. It was better than being asked for ID. I just smiled back. He doesn’t need to know I’m old enough to be his mom. Hehehe. Who knew I still had it? Dh would be so proud.

4) I’m afraid of rodents. I don’t even like squirrels and tell my kids not to feed the ones at the park.

5) I suffer from chronic sarcsm.

6) I had wavy hair until I had DS #1. Now it’s poker straight.

7) I cannot function without caffeine.

Ok, 7 things about me:

1) I am the youngest of 7 kids - 5 girls, 2 boys - was spoiled rotten (didn’t always get the material things I wanted, but never got blamed for anything that I did)

2) Married to my DH for 11 years this year - 3 kids, 2 girls, 1 boy - quit being an engineer to be a SAHM. Most days -happy with the decision - others - What was I thinking?

3) Get my caffeine almost every day through chocolate!

4) My biggest influence on improving my stamping - you guessed it - Lauren! You were the first person I pm’d about a card you had made that I found back in 2006. Since then, I’ve case’d quite a bit of your work for clubs and workshops (I give you credit and tell my customers to check out your gallery on SCS!) You’ve also gotten me to look outside SU! for great products to help improve my creativity!

5) My goal in life now is to create something I think is worth submitting for publication. Heck, I just started my SCS gallery a few weeks ago.

6) I’m addicted to 24, CSI (the original), and game shows

7) I am a major procrastinator - will put off cleaning and preparing for workshops till the last minute!

LOVE the Blog Candy!!

3. I have been with my only ever boyfriend and now husband for 19 years
4. I used to be a pampered chef consultant but prob due to the fact I hate cooking did not last past about 10 shows!!!! he he
5. I am addicted to Coca Cola (not the fat free variety either, yikes) which probably accounts for all the extra lbs I have accrued over the years
6. I am also addicted to SCS and stamping and I cannot get enough and just don’t have enough money, like most of us poor stampers
7. I simply cannot wait until Stampin Up hits out shores quite how much it will all be or how it will work over here is still a mystery but I am soooo excited
