Hey Gang!  I love me some Crops.  And we've had plenty of members stick around after the fun and festivities to become part of our awesome community here! Wouldn't it be nice to make a new buddy while you were here at the Crop?  I'd love it if you'd reach out to someone new to you and ask them FIVE questions.  Send someone that you don't know a Private Message and ask them 5 random questions and then come back to this tread and tell us who you met and what you learned. You can ask them how they first found ACOT, what color their car is, what their favorite food or item of clothing might be, what scrappy item could they just not live without...it's up to you what you want to find out, but be sure to share!

I bet there will even be some points in it for those that participate.  So go ahead...make a new friend 

[MaBuglet]

 I met Denise (dwinchell).  She lives in Florida and has been scrapping for 5 years.  Winter is her fave season unless it gets below freezing and then not so much.  She found ACOT through another Cyber Crop we had and likes to scrap her kids.  If she were a Jelly Belly she'd be lime flavored.  

Thanks Denise!!

Hi Lynn,

My name is Marlene and I've been scrapping for 4 years now. I live in NJ. I have a point and shoot camera(Canon PowerShot SD500), my family isn't too cooperate so I need somthing fast. I like to have Nestea Iced Tea and Chips Ahoy while scrapping, but keep those in the kitchen to avoid accidents. My favorite embellishment right now would be chipboard.

Hi I am from SW Iowa!!
I have been paper scrapper for 7 years and just started Digi in August and I LOVE IT!! I have a  SONY  DSC H1 camera that is an awesome camera, but I carry a little pocket Nikon Cool pix in my purse all the time and I really like it too! Ohh my favorite snack when scrapping is my diet Pepsi and popcorn! I love all digi elements..I can't get enough of them and love that I can use them over and over again! I really love stitching elements and awesome frames!!

corriekate said:
I would LOVE to answer some questions for you!

I have been scrapping for 3.5 years.  I live in South Dakota.  I have a couple Cameras, a Canon RebelXT and a point and shoot.  CHOCOLATE is a must have for scrapping...although I find lil finger prints sometimes.  LOL and a favorite embelishment would have to be glitter or anything sparkly!

Hope you enjoy the crop!  THey are fab!

Thanks to all the ladies that took time to answer my questions. I really appreciate it. It was fun to meet you all and fun to learn that several of you are only an hour or two from me.

Thanks again, Lynn

[Miss Daisy-NC]

 I've met scrapperqueen; I asked her what her favorite time of day is and it's mornings. Her favorite season of the year is a toss up between spring and fall. She doesn't have any pets; " her philosphy has always been: if it can't eventually grow-up, learn to take care of itself and, move out, she doesn't want it  I asked her if she had a favorite subject to scrap..not really and her favorite snack is popcorn.

[SusieKing]

 seeing as how i don't really know anyone here this was a fun challenge.  i pm'd charlenanne with my questions. 

1. what is your dream job?  I am retired-no more job but it would have been librarian at a good college.
2.  it's friday nite.  when not scrapping how do you usually relax?  Watch TV and knit.
3.  do you have any pets? Not any more.  Last cat died almost 2 years ago and last dog died last month.  Hoping DH will get a tiny little house type dog though.  Maybe 2-5 pounds full grown and soft and fluffy.
4.  what is your favorite thing to do on your pages?  ink them.
5.  summer or winter?  Definitely winter - hate the hot weather.

ii love inking too.  it was fun to meet you!
