My name is Carrie Labani. I live in Houston, TX. We recently just moved here from Washington state. It has been a fun journey so far but alot of changes.

I grew up in Poulsbo a small town across the water from Seattle,WA. When I was in highschool my older sister got me into scrapbooking. Ever since then I have just loved it! I love cooking and baking though too and like to sew on occassion. I met my husband while bartending at Outback and we have been married for almost 4 years. We love to travel and cruise and hope to have more opportunities to go in the future. I am a SAHM to our beautiful 2 year old little girl named Sydney who we is our life. Right now we are just trying to get settled in to our new home and enjoy the new city we live in.

Contests/Publications:
I really enjoy playing on different forums and have won various contests. A few of my pages and a mini book have been published in the ezine Ready, Set, Create.

One scrapbook product you can't live without.
I cannot live without flowers. I love them. I need them. I buy them everywhere I go. :-)

When are you most creative and why?
I think I am most creative in the evening after I know all the housework is done and dinner has been made. I like to sit down at my desk, turn some music on, break out the peanut butter M&M's (a must) and start scrapping.

Are you an organized scrapper or do you work in a mess?
Generally I like to be organized and clean my desk off after every page but sometimes if I am time pressed to get something done it turns into a total mess.

If you could be anywhere right now.....
I would be laying on the beach of Tahiti. I have always wanted to go there and stay in one of the over water bungalo's where you can swim in the crisp clear water right off your balcony. Someday...he did promise me we could go for our 5th anniversary though!
