SISTER Sunday - March 2, 2008

Good Morning, ladies! Ready for a new sister?!?

Please welcome Stacey Lokovic!

Tell us about your family: I am married to a wonderful man I met my first weekend in college. We have two beautiful and amazing children-Joshua is almost three and Abigail is seven months old.

How/Why did you start scrapbooking? I started to scrapbook in college-can’t really remember why. I needed something to do with my photos I suppose.

How long have you been scrapbooking? Since around 1996.

What is it about scrapbooking that you really love? I love the creative part, but it really touches my heart when my family looks at the photos, reads the stories and relives the memories.

How many hours a week do you scrapbook? It always varies. I might have a week where I scrap every day for at least an hour or I might a week and hardly scrap at all. It just depends on life that week.

How long does it take you to complete a layout? Anywhere from about 30 minutes to 2 hours (ok, sometimes a couple of days if I have to stop in the middle and can’t get back to it because life got in the way!)

Where do you get your inspiration? Mostly from blogs and layouts posted by my online friends.

Describe your scrap space. Do you like/dislike it? I have a large room in our basement devoted to crafting. I have lots of tables and lots of space. I love that I can spread out and leave everything out that I am working on. The downside is that it seems harder to decorate and organize since it is so big. Too much room, maybe. LOL

What are your favorite colors to scrapbook with? Since my daughter was born, I have been loving pinks. After focusing on mostly boy layouts, the change was welcome and I completely embraced it.

Do you enjoy other crafts and/or hobbies? Yes! I love to make cards, alter items and even sew once in a while. I have made a few rag quilts as gifts and I like to sew fun little things like aprons and pillows.
