Nicole


Hi Peeps! I'm Nicole. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA- lived here all my life, outside the 7 years I spent in Lancaster, Ohio when I was little. I've been married for 3-1/2 years to a great guy who has an awesome second job at PNC Park (Pittsburgh's baseball stadium that has a wonderful view of the city, too bad we don't have a good team to go with it lol). We have a 3 year old son, JD, who loves to keep us busy and always hams it up for the camera. :) I bartend part time at a neighborhood bar while attending community college for a double major in Business Management and Medical Insurance and will be done by the end of August. (I can't wait!)

I've always been creative since I was little, but didn't get into stamping until 3 years ago. After JD was born, I got into scrapbooking so I could save all the memories in something more than just a photo album. My first scrapbook album went to my sister-in-law for her wedding. And thinking back on it, I'm so embarrassed because it was completely plain lol! My friend, Tricia, has been making amazing cards with stamps for years and I always loved them! So I took the plunge and grabbed a few $1 wood-mounted stamps from Michaels to see if I could actually do it myself and I was hooked. It was Tricia who introduced me to Papertrey last spring and I immediately fell in love!

I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing group and can't wait to get to know everyone and have fun! =)

I too think you sound awfully busy. Double major, wow! What do you intend to do with it then? Enjoy the little guy . . . and good for you for scrapbooking, something I never did with my kids and now wish I had.
