Crafts you dabble in: paper, altering unfinished or found items, making clocks out of stuff, other home decor items. trying to learn to crochet (very unsuccessfully).

Favorite color(s): green

Do you have a room of crap, a closet of crap or a shelf of crap? a dining room hutch full of those little plastic drawers and tied shut with a pony-tail holder (i have a 13 month old). and part of my bedroom closet
is used for the not-so-often-used crap. at least i moved out of my bathroom!

What supply to you have the most of? white cardstock

What supply do you hoard the most? patterned paper and tape runners

What brand do you use the most? scenic route

What brand do you own the most of but use the least? basic grey

Keep your scraps or throw them away? 4 large Recollections bags full...even the tiniest bits
Organized or perfectly chaotic? organized in my own mind

Crafting motto? don't really have one, but i always say, "ooh, that paper is so yummy i could eat it!"

Create with friends or alone? alone with inspiration from my online scrapping buddies.

What supply do you need a challenge for so that you will use it up? clear stuff and lots of weird sticker letters. and i know you can't use them up, but it would be nice to use even just one letter of my 8 gazillion sets of foam stamps at least once!!!

Come back tomorrow for our queen's first time to reign and join our challenges. 

We can't wait to see what you do and who knows YOU could be the next Queen of the Crop!
