and inspires me!

5 . Tell us something no one knows about you, a little dirty secret.
I love watching reality TV and I believe it’s real even though my husband always
tells me it’s scripted. I think it’s real! Also I love going to the beach but I never
get in the water it scares me. Plus I am secretly in love with Jeffery Dean Morgan!
Whew the dirty really flew out of my mouth!
6 . What does Scrap, Laugh, Love mean to you or how does it inspire you?
To me it means that I love to scrap memories that make me laugh so that I can
always remember those fabulous times.

6. What does scrap laugh love mean to you or how does it inspire you? For me scrapping is a big part of my life. It brings me so much joy and happiness and it’s a great outlet for me. I love to remember memories, laugh over good times and love life for all its good and bad times.
