If you read my post the Wednesday before last you may recall that I was a little disappointed to have completed our Rock Star Spotlight interview series. What fun that was getting to know all our Rock Stars a little better! What to do next? Hmmm. I gave it some thought and came up with an idea or two. And then I read my email… It seems a few of you thought it was time to hear MY answers to all those questions. So although I don’t consider myself a Rock Star of the same caliber as my very talented team, I suppose it IS only fair that I subject myself to the same questioning. So here you go…

1. Tell us a little about your family. My husband Bill and I have been together for 27 years and celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this summer. We currently have two “sons” of the feline persuasion.
2. How did you get into stamping? I got into the stamping business thanks to my mother. One of my earliest blog posts tells the whole tale. If you missed the story just follow this link to read all about how Repeat Impressions got it’s start.
3. What is your favorite technique? I’m not really technique oriented, but I do like to color!
4. What is your favorite tool? Punches
5. What are your favorite embellishments? Ribbon and rhinestones
6. What is your favorite coloring method? Simple markers or colored pencils
7. What is your favorite color combo? I’ve always thought green and purple make a great combination. Actually, I like most anything with green… it’s my favorite color!
8. If you had to describe your stamping style with 3 words, what would they be? Simple with motion. I really don’t have much time to stamp but when I do I tend to make things that move or have a little element of surprise involved. Like my lines of designs and cards stocks for cards that flip, swing, spin or pop up.
9. Do you always send the cards you create? Yes, unless they are for our display boards.
10. For which occasion or holiday do you create the most cards? Christmas and birthdays.
11. What is your favorite stamping magazine? I don’t have much time for magazines but I like Vamp Stamp News for all the tips and techniques shared there.
12. What are your favorite Repeat Impressions’ designs? That’s like asking a mother to choose her favorite child! Image may be NSFW.

There are many, but off the top of my head I would say my Little Birdie/Cat swing stamp set, Great Blue Heron and Santa Cat.
13. What are your other interests besides stamping? Reading, kitties, family time, great food and wine, comedy in any form, Scrabble on Facebook. Oh… and spending entirely too much time researching things online!
14. Name your favorite food and one food you can’t stand. That’s a tough one! I love so many foods, but I can never pass up guacamole! And I can’t stand olives of any kind.
15. What is your guilty pleasure? Pizza or any dessert served a la mode!
16. Do you have any pet peeves? Incompetence really irks me.
17. Tell us one random thing people may not know about you. I’ve always wanted to write a book. I feel like I may have a novel in me somewhere if I only had the time. I self-published a small run of books of my mother’s poetry years ago. Maybe someday I’ll see my own name embossed on a hardcover. Image may be NSFW.

18. Name 3 things on your “bucket list”. To visit Alaska, swim with a dolphin, learn to tango.
19. If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which 5 books, movies, people and foods would you take along?
Books: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, Chesapeake by James Michener, A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford, and any book by James Patterson or Tess Gerritson.
Movies: True Lies (my perfect movie trifecta… comedy, action and romance all in one movie!), Nothing To Lose, Despicable Me, The Man From Snowy River and Miracle on 34th Street (I’m partial to the one with Sebastian Cabot).
People: My husband, my sister, my two nieces and Jeff Dunham to keep us all entertained!
Foods: Sweet potatoes, broccoli, avocados, tomatoes and carrot cake. Yeah… you might say I have a thing for veggies!
20. If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be? Lucky Me!
There you go… I think I have fulfilled my obligation now. Image may be NSFW.
