Hi everybody!!
I'm so excited this thread came in to being.
As I have read up and caught up with who's who, I'm finding so many similarities and such a wide variety of ages, careers, likes, dislikes and so on. What a fun community to have become a part of.
My name is Becca. I just turned 30 last month...
No kids here but JP and I will have been married for six years next month. We have a furbaby named Buster. He's a poundpuppy and we love him to death! I teach 6-8th grade French at a middle school and this year I'm picking up teaching 2 classes of Drama. Last spring our school's drama club did High School Musical (Many of you may have read this) and I played the part of Ms. Darbus. Because of that, my principal figured I'd be GREAT for the position. Little did she know, that was my acting debut.
I've really been scrapbooking since I was a kid, but in books since about 2000. I had a bulletin board on my wall in my room where I kept pictures, flowers from dances, and so on but I could never just pile them on top of each other. I would take it off the wall and spend HOURS re-arranging it how I wanted so that you could see every single little thing on it.
My other hobbies include sitting here like a bum and reading this and the Cricut message boards, chatting with my friends, reading, watching movies, and many many different crafty things. I too tend to find something I like or learn something new and follow that for awhile, then switch to another outlet. So far I've taken up: cross stitch, crochet, knitting, knitted felting, needle felting, sewing, quilting, cake decorating, web site design, photography, video editing...the list goes on and on and my basement supply drawers grow fuller and fuller. I'm lucky to have a husband who tolerates my insanities.
I play VMK (as you can tell my the tag fairy up there) and am better known around the boards as Shorts. Even my students who I tell about VMK (Hey, I'd rather them play that than Grand Theft Suto!) started calling me Shorts by the end of the school year. I haven't played much this summer. I'm too busy recuperating from last school year.
I'm talking a lot, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm lefthanded too, I should go "sign in" on that thread too.
Have a great day and thanks for sharing your stories and reading mine!
