What\u2019s your name and digiscrap blog address?<\/strong> Misty O\u2019Brien \u2013 https:\/\/scrappaperie.blogspot.com\/<\/a>
Tell us a little about your family.<\/strong> I\u2019m 26, married to Dan (27) and we have two boys \u2013 Ian (2) and Aidan (6 months). Dan and I went to elementary school together but didn\u2019t \u201cmeet\u201d until high school. We stayed friends after high school and started dating 5 years later (2005). We married after within 6 months of dating. Dan and Aidan have the same birth date \u2013 September 11th.
Do you work outside the home & if so what do you do?<\/strong> I do not work outside the home. I have been a SAHM for a year now. I love being at home with the boys.
When did you start Digi-scrapping and who taught you?<\/strong> I started digi scrapping about a year and a half ago. No one taught me, I just started playing around with freebies. My husband taught me Photoshop though.
Are you on any creative teams?<\/strong> Yes. I am on Gingerscraps CT, Polka Dot Plum\u2019s CT, and Sunshine Studio Scraps\u2019 CT.
Do you design at all?<\/strong> I just started designing. Ginger has already taught me so much and I am grateful to her. I also enjoy learning from the other designers on the Gingerscraps team. Everyone\u2019s style is so unique and it\u2019s wonderful.
What is your favorite challenge here at GingerScraps?<\/strong> My favorite challenge is the Template Challenge.
Who are your favorite three designers?<\/strong> Gingerscraps, Scrappy Cocoa, and Polka Dot Plum
What are some of your must have elements?<\/strong> Glitter. I like sparkles. I also love ribbons and glass elements.
Whose gallery here at GingerScraps do you just love?<\/strong> Oh wow. There are so many ladies in that gallery now! I really love Julie\u2019s (JulieMomof4) Layouts and the pics of her hybrid projects and recently Angie has been posting some inspiring layouts \u2013 I love the way she puts things together. All the CT girls really work hard too and their galleries are fantastic.
What\u2019s your favorite kit in the store right now?<\/strong> I am drawn to Ginger\u2019s White Cherry Tea Kit.
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?<\/strong> I would not be such a procrastinator! I work best under deadlines and pressure though.
What is the one word that best describes you?<\/strong> Compassionate
Out of all your LO\u2019s so far, what are your favorite 2 & why?<\/strong>

I love this one because it\u2019s a rare picture of me and Ian. I am hardly ever in front of the camera, always behind it. I just really adore how it turned out.<\/p>\n

I love this LO because it\u2019s of my husband and son, playing in the yard one late afternoon late summer. The weather was perfect and I loved playing photographer. I get warm fuzzies just looking at this LO.
Who is the most important person in your life?<\/strong> Obviously my husband and kids and faith are the most important to me, I would never put them behind anything else. So after them, I will say my sister is the most important person \u2013 I can trust her with anything.
What is something that not many people know about you?<\/strong> I have some weird kind of sixth sense. It\u2019s creepy. In high school, I had a dream that a classmate (who I had never spoken to before and knew nothing about her) wore a tiara to school. Two days later she came walking in with a tiara on. (and No, it wasn\u2019t a Halloween). I still don\u2019t even know why she was wearing it! I have weird dreams like that a lot.
If you could travel anywhere where would you go?<\/strong> Right now I would take a cruise. Dan and I put off a real honeymoon since we got married on the beach.
When you were little what did you dream of being when you grew up? <\/strong>I wanted to be a forensic pathologist. No joke. Even before all the CSI shows. I went to college to go pre-med and when I finally got into the science courses I realized it was a no go. I just couldn\u2019t get into it. (Maybe that\u2019s why I\u2019m being creative now! Lol)
What is your favorite food?<\/strong> Chocolate Milkshakes. I drank one every night for the last 4 weeks of both my pregnancies.
How did you pick you user name?<\/strong> my forum user name is my nickname Mis and my last name OBrien
What do you like doing with your family?<\/strong> We like doing stuff for the kids \u2013 traveling, parks, amusement parks, camping – all that good stuff.
Where is your favorite place to be?<\/strong> At home with my family.
What are three things that are important to you? <\/strong>Faith, Family, Health
Is there anything you would change about your life?<\/strong> Just the medical issues I\u2019m facing right now. I just added hypothyroidism and pituitary problems to my trigeminal neuralgia.
What are you afraid of?<\/strong> My children missing or dying before me.
Do you collect anything?<\/strong> Nope.<\/p>\n
