BPS: What do we need to know about you?
[LE] For this one, I went to the experts. My daughter Kinsey (6) says I should tell you I’m a great scrapbooker, and that I have three children. And don’t interrupt when I’m talking. My son Ben (9) says not to ask for seconds on soda at a restaurant unless you ask me first. He also says I am free and like having fun but I won’t tolerate rough-housing and teasing. Keep that in mind when taking my classes! Callie, my two-year-old, adds that I like “goodies,” especially yellow ones. Whatever that means. I suppose I should add that I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 10 years, and I’ve been a journalist for almost that exact same length of time – but those are just details.
BPS: What do you like about your friends?
[LE] My favorite people to hang out with have great senses of humor, strong work and personal ethics, and passions they are dedicated to. We don’t have to like the same things – in fact, I love it when my friends introduce me to something new! Oh, having the same shoe size is a definite plus (I’m a 7-1/2).
BPS: Where do you hope to go?
[LE] Wherever God wants me to. I live each day in the hope and expectation that He is revealing his plan to me, one step at a time. Hopefully, the journey will include a few visits to Maui. J
BPS: What do you need everyday?
[LE] Hugs from my family, my knitting needles, my iPod, a little bit of scrapbooking, and about a gallon of Starbucks iced tea.
BPS: What’s your favorite line?
[LE] I’ve got tons! We quote movies, songs and books – and ourselves! -- all the time around here. But I think my favorite that’s scrapbooking-related is, “It’s only paper!”
BPS: Where do you wish you could shop?
[LE] Oh goodness. I would have to say, a smaller size section that I currently shop in!
BPS: What do you believe in?
[LE] I believe in Santa Claus, family, and the restorative powers of paper, ribbon, and peanut M&Ms . I believe in hand-addressing Christmas cards, in building community wherever I am, and in choosing faith. And I believe that one of the great travesties of our time is that Joaquin Phoenix did not receive an Oscar for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line.”
BPS: If you could take only one thing before you left the planet, what would you take?
[LE] The sense that I finished what I was sent here to complete.
BPS: Why are you teaching this class?
[LE]: I am passionate about scrapbooking, writing, and teaching. This class is a way to bring all my loves together. Plus, working with Stacy and the BPS crew is a dream come true!
