We asked
JJ to tell us a bit about herself, answer a few questions, and share a few of her favorite Layouts with us!
"Hi, my name is
JJ, and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For those who didn't do any better in geography than I did in school, I'm about one hour north of
Plattsburgh, New York. My husband and I were married in 2001, in a costumed, Renaissance wedding (there’s my weird fact for the day). We have a four year old boy, and a one year old baby girl. My kids are the reason that I started
scrapbooking. I resisted the hobby for many years, because I knew it would be addicting. No surprise - now I'm firmly hooked!
I've been crafting in one form or another since I was big enough to hold a crayon. Sewing was my biggest obsession, and I go back and forth to that still, as the muses strike, but it's kind of taken a backseat to the
scrapbooking. And I'm OK with that. I mostly scrap 12x12, but I dabble in other formats. Some call my style Shabby Chic, but my style might be better described as ‘eclectic’ – some days I like simple, other days – not so much. Lately my style has been trending towards more distressed and grungy.
As you may have already realized, besides
Scrapbooking – some of my other addictions are Starbucks, Sushi and Styx (classic rock). But not all at the same time - Peppermint Mocha and Spicy Scallops just don't mix. (Styx is, of course, perfect with either.)"
My guilty pleasure is...Starbucks.
I can't imagine life without...Caffeine. I know I should say my kids, but I haven't been a Mom that long, so I remember what life was like
pre-kids. I guess I would say I can't imagine life without caffeine, and I don't want to imagine life without my kids.
You would never guess it but I...am painfully shy. And I used to dress up as a Klingon. And I met my DH on a movie set.
I would love to win a shopping spree to...Any high end fabric store in New York!
Woot!!
My favorite scrappy item in the LCOM store right now is...Prima pretty much sums it up. All the yummy
Prima!
If I could be on any tv game or reality show it would be..."Whose Line is it Anyway" (or if it was a sitcom about me, it would be called "You did what?!?)
If a genie granted me three wishes I'd wish for...to have my Dad back, financial
Independence, a house in
Mahone Bay. (I guess that rules out the date with Pierce
Brosnan right? or David Tenant?)
My least favorite chore is...Dishes. Despise the dishes.
I have a scrappy crush on...Gaelle Fauglas ,
Francoise Melzani and
Kim 'Kimmieprout' (I can never remember her last name! Doh!)
Here are a few of JJ's layouts!
Thanks
JJ and Congrats again!!!
