My absolutely most favorite thing about Doodlebug products would have to be the cardstock stickers. I think I have also just fallen in love with the 12x12 albums!
I am Jing-Jing Nickel. Pronounce it like there are nickels in your pocket making that jingling noise! I was born in Shanghai, China. My teenage years were spent in Dakar, Senegal, a West African nation. I hold a graduate degree in mathematics and work full time in the Twin Cities, MN, as an I.T. engineer. When I started scrapbooking in 1999, it was the most perfect extension of my love for traveling and travel photography. Then with the birth of my first daughter, a new dimension of scrapbooking as well as a new realm of creative possibilities was born with her. Today and every day, I scrap my family, my trips, and my family on trips.

I live in Idaho Falls, ID with my sweet hubby of 9 years and three little monster boys! Logan is 6, Landen is 3 , and Cooper is 5 mo. They keep me on my toes! I'm originally from Seattle, which I miss very much. However there is a lot to love about Idaho too!

Welcome Jing-Jing, Kandis and Kathy! So good to get to know each of you girls a little bit more!
ReplyDeleteJing-Jing I wished you lived near me so you could help me with math!!!!

ReplyDeleteWelcome ladies, nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteJing-Jing, I can't believe you hate dishes. I love doing them and find the time there at the sink very therapeutic. I don't even use the dishwasher. :)
The kiddos and I looooooooove "Love you like a love song," Kandis. They'd play it non-stop if I let them.
Kathy, I have to agree with you -- I love all of Doodlebug products, too. They are so coloful and fun and hard to choose just one to love. We are heading in the no-TV direction. We just had more channels cut from our satellite and will soon go tubeless. I can't wait for that day!
