And the WINNER IS . . . Susan from Fort Worth Texas

Last week’s question was: “What is your favorite craft blog?” Susan’s answer was Mish Mash http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/ very cute!!!  Check it out. 

Hi, I’m Susan (Sus, Susie, susiestampalot) and I live in Fort Worth, Texas.  I’m married to my best friend of 12 years, Eric and we have 3 girls—Shelbie (17), Lindsie (9) and Audrie (6).  I’ve been a stay at home mommy for six years, but worked for Bank of America for 17 years before that.  I do work/play at my local scrapbook store on Saturdays, but I don’t like to call it work.  It’s really just for fun.
      I’m a proud blog owner (www.susiestampalot.blogspot.com)!  I started it up November 2006 on the advice of a friend before blogging was “the thing” and have been blogging ever since.  I love to write and share what I love about papercrafting and my crazy life—mostly stamping and cardmaking, although I scrapbook, sew, repurpose things and paint as well (I’ve been crafty all my life, and I just can’t pick just one to stick with!).  My blog always includes a “SUSIE Q-TIP” at the end where I share something I learned about making the particular card or project posted that day—what or what not to do.  Or I may just share a tip such as “Don’t eat yellow snow.”  You just never know what kind of wisdom I may impart! J
I found out about Kmckaydesigns through a friend of mine who is always on the lookout for cool home décor items that are fun to make and easy to come across.  When I first came to Kristine’s blog, I fell in love with the Barbie bracelet that her daughter, Kelsey had made.  I WANT one of those—so ME!  I love all the ideas, as I am so NOT the decorator.  I invited Kristine to come help me, but she’s not been available as of yet.  (wink!)

5 random facts about me:
1.   Hot dogs are my very favorite food in the whole wide world.
2.   I like the smell of skunks.
3.   I’m addicted to Clean House on TLC because I love Niecy Nash.
4.   I once tried out for Wheel of Fortune, but didn’t get called up on stage.  Their loss.
5.   I’m not bendy at all, but I do yoga.

I had some really fun responses this week.  It’s only been the last month or so that I’ve started looking at blogs. To be honest, they intimidate me lol. There are sooooo many amazing talented women out there.  Because of this,  I decided to start featuring a blog every Thursday starting in March. I have some great ones lined up such as Shanty 2 Chic, Tater tots and Jell-O, Someday Crafts, and Funky Junk interiors just to name a few. If you have any suggestions please pass it along. If all goes well,this summer I will start featuring newbies as well. Sometimes the new blogs are the best because they are so fresh and exciting. So, if you’ve just started a new blog keep a look out for submissions this summer. Thanks guys. Don’t forget to answer This week’s question: see my blog post for Question of the Week #3.
