Monday Morning Greetings!

Hello there! My name is Margaret Scarbrough and I’ll be hosting the studio blog for this week. First off, let me tell you a little bit more about myself. I've been scrapbooking for about eight years now and for the past two years or so, I've been lucky enough to be a contributing editor for Simple Scrapbooks. The majority of my pages are about being a mom to two crazy boys, Matthew and Hoonie. You may recognize them from this cover:

Yup, those two little cover imps are mine. That picture was taken over two years ago, though, so let me share a more recent picture of the boys I took just this past weekend:

(in case you’re wondering...yes, they’re still imps!) :)

Hmm, what else can I tell you about myself? Well, I’ve been married for nearly fourteen years—our anniversary is next week, actually—to a pretty nice guy named Jack. And for the past two years, our family has been living the high life out here in the country where we do things like go swimmin' in the creek, kill rattlesnakes, set fire to things and harvest our own apples and nuts. Yup, there’s nothing like country living. That is, until you want to go shop at a decent mall in which case you have to drive nearly an hour and a half to get to one...but I digress. Now where was I? Ah yes, the idyllic country life... ;)

I would love to share a picture of Jack and I together, but like many of you, I rarely get on the other side of the camera these days. But just so you could kind of get an idea of what we look like tending to our miscellaneous tasks out here in the country, I’d like to present you with this poorly Photoshopped image of the both of us:

(my sincerest apologies to Grant Wood)

So now that you know a little bit more about me, I would love to know a little bit more about you. Make sure to stop by and say "hello" when you get the chance and don't forget to check in throughout the remainder of the week too. I'm hoping to share some serious holiday cheer while celebrating this most wonderful hobby of ours!

Happy Monday everyone! :)
