BPS: What do we need to know about you?
AG: My passion is helping people create real and lasting change in their lives by getting more organized. I especially love working with scrapbookers, helping them organize everything from their scrapbook spaces to their entire home. It's one of the reasons I wrote the happy scrapper. Why scrapbookers? Well, I'm one too, so I understand you. But even more important, I love the passion for life that all scrapbookers share. Getting more organized has benefits for everyone but with scrapbookers we get to implement super fun and creative organizing ideas that create time and space for the goodies in life --- everything from family time to fun time to scrapbooking. You can learn more about me and what I do at my website www.simplify101.com or stop by my blog http://www.creativeorganizing.typepad.com and say hello! I'd love to hear from you.

BPS: What do you like about your friends?
AG: Oh, so many things. But one of my favorites is our ability to carry on about ten conversations simultaneously and jump between them seamlessly over the course of days. And … my friends love to laugh. I love people who see the humor in life.

BPS: Where do you hope to go?
AG: Napa Valley with my hubby Jay and Disney with my whole family.

BPS: What do you need everyday?
AG: Lip balm and hugs from my little girl.

BPS: What's your favorite line?
AG: At the moment it is this: "You see what you believe."

BPS: Where do you wish you could shop?
AG: IKEA. Wish they'd build one in my town … or at least within an hour drive from me. That's not too much to ask, is it?

BPS: What do you believe in?
AG: Simplicity.

BPS: If you could take only one thing before you left the planet, what would you take?
AG: My family … can't imagine going that far away without them.

BPS: Why do you like teaching at Big Picture Scrapbooking?
AG: I just love the Big Picture philosophy. It's freeing and empowering to scrapbook your big picture without getting hung up on all the things I used to get hung up on. (Thanks, Stacy.) Big Picture allows me to help fellow scrapbookers have more fun scrapbooking and in their life in general by learning fresh ideas for getting organized. Organizing, scrapbooking, big picture … great combo.
