My name is Mandie Pierce. I am a stay at home mama of 3 and an Air Force wife. My husband and I have been together for almost 15 years. We’ve lived from Georgia to Texas to Alaska to Arakansas and now California. I love scrapbooking (obviously), reading, photography, organizing and decorating (don’t let that fool you, though. i *do* have 3 kids who don’t share my affinity for cleanliness and order.) I have a dorky sense of humor. I think I am funny, but I am sure I am just nerdy! I have a tendancy to have weird things happen to me – usually while Troy is tdy (temporary duty). Things like my son droppping my only car key down a storm drain or locking my kids & myself out of my house and having to have a friend’s husband come break into my house. I think my parents should have named me Calamity Jane rather than Mandie.

What is your favorite color combo? I love teal, orange and gray or teal, yellow and chocolate brown. With that being said, I don’t use it much – except in my house. 🙂
Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started? I’ve always been a collector of memorabilia. Somewhere, I have magnetic page albums from high school with ticket stubs, cards, photos, etc. I started “officially” scrapbooking in 1999 when my daughter was about 6 months old when I discovered they made products just for scrapbooking. I tried to quit once, but it didn’t last long!
Where do you scrapbook? I have my own space. It is technically a formal dining room. But since we don’t have formal furniture, it’s what I use. Downside: you can see it from our front door. It has to stay clean.
What is your favorite thing to listen to or watch while creating? I’ve got what I call my “mellow mix” on my ipod. It’s got Jason Mraz, Brandie Carlile, Jason Castro, John Mayer, Train & a whole heck of a lot more, but I won’t bore you with an entire list!
