Twin Mom Scraps!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s my great pleasure to introduce to you Rebecca<\/strong><\/span>, aka Twin Mom Scraps<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>. This is her first Spotlight<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One thing quickly became apparent when I was chatting with Rebecca<\/strong><\/span>… she doesn’t much like talking about her creative process, so we glossed over that stuff. Check it out…<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: Tell us about your path to designing.<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: I started designing back in 2008 (I think) and continued through 2013. Life got busy with young twin daughters and a booming business, so I took a 10 year retirement. Once my girls graduated high school, I decided to come back in 2023 (although, I never stopped scrapping and have completed albums for every year since they were born!)<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: Wow, I didn’t even start digiscrapping until 2010. Late to the party, as always. What are the colours you love to design with? Do you have one you really don’t like?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: BLUE is definitely my favorite color. I don\u2019t really have a least favorite, but I guess I am least likely to use the color ORANGE in my designs.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: So all the “fall” kits are really hard for you, Got it! It’s funny though… I don’t love orange or yellow, but I LOVE scrapping autumn photos. While we’re talking about colour, do you have a green thumb?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: I have a BROWN thumb. LOL. No matter how hard I try. Things go great for the first few weeks, but then always seem to take a turn\u2026in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: I love growing plants, indoors and out. I get lots of compliments for my flowerbeds, and it’s a good feeling. Do I love the workload spring and fall? Not so much. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: It is a huge compliment when people say nice things about my kids.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: I know what you mean! I like hearing nice things about my kids too, although I can’t really take credit for their greatness. None of them went the career direction I expected them to, but ended up being wonderful humans. What did you want to be when you grew up?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: I think I wanted to be a veterinarian.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: My oldest wanted to be a doctor, and she is… a PhD-type doctor in a related field. Second wanted to do something with athletes, and instead is a criminal behaviours analyst. Youngest was determined to be an engineer until his brain injury. Now he’s just the light of everyone’s life. We all end up where we’re supposed to, I think. If time travel was possible, would you go back in time or ahead? Why?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: Probably BACK in time, to give my mom a proper goodbye ☹<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: This time of year will always be difficult for you; it’s barely been a year since she joined your dad in the next world. I wasn’t there when my dad died, but I’m okay with that. He wouldn’t have wanted me there anyway. May I give you a hug? I’m a hugger. I can’t help it. I should put that on a t-shirt, like a warning to unsuspecting strangers. If you had a warning label, what would it say?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: Don\u2019t ask me a question, if you don\u2019t want an honest answer. I often don\u2019t have a filter.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: That’s actually a super-power. People will always know where they stand with you. Kinda like Bette Midler. I admire her for that. Do you have a celebrity crush?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: Paul Walker<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: Ooh, yeah! I can see why. Another one gone too soon. He was a fine actor… I know there are a lot of adjectives we could use describing him. What one word would your family and friends use to describe you?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: Perfectionist.<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: Ouch. That’s gotta sting! But would you change that?<\/p>\n

R<\/strong><\/span>: No, I’d worry less if I could<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>: I can relate to that too. Thanks for the meet-and-greet, Rebecca<\/strong><\/span>. I’m just going to tell everybody about the business side of all this now. Safe home, ‘k?<\/p>\n
