Well…I’ve known you about 6 years now…I’m guessing cause I can’t remember. I worked with Kevin for a few years, then ya’ll moved to my neighborhood. I come pester you to take pictures of Addison sometimes.
I haven’t subscribed to your blog yet. Maybe I should? LOL.
My husband actually found your site! I have been trying to get a scraproom together and was looking for ideas- he googled “scraprooms” and yours was the first hit! I fell in love with your room and have been visiting your site ever since! I love your scrapbook ideas and look fprward to seeing more in the future! :)
I found your website through a blog I read, and I thought the fonts were so fun. I like that kind of techie-creative stuff … the crafty geek in me just can’t help it :) Your site is great. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Amanda,
I found you through 2peas. I heard about your amazing recipes, tried a few and I’m hooked. I love your blog and enjoy reading it very much
I found your site a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for fonts. Your site is soo cute. Thanks 4 sharing :) amanda
Hi! I found your webside about 2 or 3 years ago through Google. I was looking for scrapbook ideas, but as I read I found it very interesting to learn more about your life, decorations in the house and later the recipes! This year we adopted four children. I want to make them all a lifebook and I’m in need of scrapbook ideas more than ever! :-)
Thanks for being so open and kind and share your creative gift through the internet!!!

I googled Boston Terriers when we were looking into getting one and found your site Monster Paparrazi. Then that is what led me to your personal site. I love your recipes and have used a couple of them! I also love your pics of your BT’s! By the way we got a BT and our Sophie is a little over a year old and we are totally in love with her! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
I saw a scrapbook page on Two Peas, I think, and wrote to ask how you did something on the page. You were so kind and gracious to email me back, and then I looked at your other work, and then your albums. I think you were engaged at the time, and then married and then new house, then new babies (dogs), and then fonts, then recipes,
Now, I’m hooked, although I haven’t posted before.
Followed a link from the QVC scrapbooking forum on scrap rooms and fell in love with all the eye candy… your style and organization and perfectionism is something I admire and aspire too. :-) I tried the pulled pork recipe this past weekend and it was to die for. I’m OK in the kitchen, but your meticulous and detailed step by step instructions and photos are wonderful. The fonts and scrapping stuff are fantastic too.
Hi kevin and Amanda
Im a singel mother from Denmark 46 years old with a lovely daugther Emily 6 ears old I think I found you thru Brittanys word art(?) and I was taken with the gerurusity from you and Im in this recipi thing just to get some idears most of the ingr. we cant buy in Denmark but it gives me a hint of how to…

It’s been so long since I found you I don’t remember how I found you. Probably more than likely its was the scrapbook room. Awesome room! I just love your recipe pages and all your organization. I know you are a Auburn fan , I am a Georgia Bulldog and my husband is LSU. ( don’t hold that against me ha ha ) I live in North Mississippi.
Hi Amanda,
I met you in the Scrapbook/Rubber Stamp shop many years ago. I hadn’t seen the Bazzil paper before which you introduced me too and I bought several of every color and looked at some of your awesome scrapbooks there. You were so kind and helpful. I bored by daughters who ended up in the parking lot arguing about the Chuck-E-Cheese tokens! LOL Anyway, back here in Florida I looked up the Shop online and then there were your scrapbooks, and I’ve pretty much followed your life through the online scrapbooks from then on. I enjoyed reading about your puppies and then with your recipes, Fonts, etc. Thank you so much for sharing. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. A big hug from SW Florida!
Hi Amanda,
I found your Blog it seems like years ago. I found it by googling for scrapbook ideas. I loved looking at all your pages and then you got Miley and then Howie and I was addicted. My husband laughs at me every time I show him what Miley and Howie have been up too. He told me I was a cyber stalker. Anyway I love your site and will continue to visit.
I was looking for recipes and found your site. I have told a lot of my friends about it, too. I am also a scrapbooker and your fonts are awesome! And your blog design is fabulous.
Trista
A friend and I were looking on-line for scrapbooking room ideas and came across yours. Boy are you organized, I wish I could have a little of that come my way. Love all your rooms, it gives me inspiration!! Just moved to the south and need to decorate my “new” house. I also like scrapbooking and always looking for ideas. Keep up all the good work.
LOVE your blog – found u thru a font credit, and i have to say – SOOO glad i followed up on the link! (polka dots and stripes are too much! this is my dream site!).
i’m about to go download some fonts. you’re very talented!
Hi!
I actually emailed you awhile back about your beautiful living room – so that’s one vote for the decorating ideas category. Actually, I found your site because someone had posted pictures of your scraproom in the CK message board for us all to oohh & ahhh over (and we sure did!)
So I do like to browse through your scrapbook ideas, love the fonts (need to have you make mine into a font someday!), and love the recipes & decorating ideas.
p.s. I must say I’ve noticed we have a couple tiny things in common – my husband and I were also married on May 31 (of 2003) and he’s turning 30 this year as well!
Love your fonts and the scrapbooking ideas are inspiring. In addition, the tone and genuine warmth of your blog always puts a smile on my face (and who doesn’t like to smile!) Thanks for sharing yourselves with the world!
Hi!
I found your blog while searching for scrapbooking fonts on google. I am just starting to scrapbook and I feel like an amateur – you have some amazing pages/layouts that I am sure I will be referencing. Thanks for the site. If everything is free, what do you do for a living? Just curious. I would love an “about me” link. I couldn’t find one, but I might be blind ;)
Thanks again!
I found your site while looking for inspiration for my scrapbooking room. I loved the fonts and have downloaded many. Thanks for putting them up for us to use!!
Tracy
Hi Amanda!
I found your website a year or two ago (I think) by following a link to see your scrapbook room. I love to check back now and then for recipes. The pulled pork sounds delish!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Amanda!
I clicked on your link from 2 Peas!!! And have been hooked ever since. I just love your posts about your home decorating— you have a fabulous sense of style. And I am envious of your scrap space!!!!!
Lisa
Hi :) I’m a Pea, and followed your link when you posted about how you organized your cords & scraproom. I keep coming back now and then to check out the new stuff.
God Bless you! I appreicate your assistance (which took all of 20 seconds to do), to get that bright yellow off my sidebar!!! What an angel you are!!! Thanks a million!!! Hugs!
Hi! I am in the midst of designing my scrap room and was in need of ideas. I Googled “scrap room” and voila! Here I am. :)
LOVE the room, by the way. I find myself constantly refering back to it during this “labor of love”. I know it will all be worth it in the end.
OMG!!!!! Your website is AMAZING!!!! A good friend of mine showed it to me this weekend, sent me the link, and I’ve just finished downloading probably about 50 of your DARLING fonts and printed your Chicken Enchilada recipe to make next week! Thank you, thank you for having such an awesome site where the fonts are FREE to download!!! Yea!! I do a lot of custom invitations and notecards — your fonts are so fun and will be excellent to use. I have subscribed and I’m sure will be checking in constantly. ;-) Emily in Fort Worth, Texas
I am in the process of converting one of our bedrooms to a scrapbook/craft room for myself. In my research, I found a blog that mentioned your website. I was amazed when I went to it. I love your attention to detail. I feel like a stalker sometimes because I will visit the site just to see what is new.
If we ever met, I think we would be friends because of our love of scrapbooking and I have 2 Boston Terriers also (Ziggy & Zoe.) Thanks Amanda!
I’m ridiculously addicted to downloading fonts online. It takes up so much of my free time and computer space, but I love it! I found your blog while searching for free handwriting fonts, which are my favorites. I also submitted a font which was made and named Pea Lazy Llama! (Thanks so much by the way!) Everyone that has seen my handwriting font is really jealous of it.
I check up every once in a while to see the new fonts you’ve made and just browse around. I’ve looked at the recipes on occasion, and will probably use a lot of them when I graduate and get an apartment. They all look so yummy!
Thanks for keeping us updated!

Hello Amanda…I think I first found you through a post on 2peas….It has probably been about 4-5 years ago since I found your page for the first time. I loved all your recipe scrapbook pages….and ofcourse the fonts…but now I LOVE your recipe section…I check your blog everyday…..I love it!! Thanks for sharing with us. I am Cherie in Arkansas. =) I don’t have a blog or I would link it….=)
I found you through my cousin’s site. I love your ideas and so many times I have been inspired by your recipes. Thanks so much!
Kathy
I found you on 2Peas. I was first interested in your decorating and the pictures you posted, but I like fonts and recipes so your blog is one I enjoy!
That sounds cool! I’d love to decorate a cake for one of your recipes!! What would you want on it? Email me at megan.sloan@gmail.com if you want. :)
Hi! I came accross your website when searching for pictures of scrapbooks. You have THE coolest scrapbook room!
Hi! I can’t remember how I found you, but I love the recipes that you share. I’m also a scrapbooking addict…and the handwriting fonts are super cool. Thanks! : )
I met you on Woof! I have always loved Miley and then came Howie. I love your pictures. You are so talented and creative. I really enjoy your recipes as well. Thanks for being you and sharing all you do!
I found you by doing a search on scrapbook rooms. And I’ve been checking back in ever since.
I’m pretty sure I found your blog while searching for scrapbook rooms. i absolutely fell in love with your room and how wonderfully it was organized. I emailed you once asking how you sorted your paper.
My favorite thing to see in your blog is anything scrapbooking, photography and home decor. I’m not a big fan of cooking so the recipes do nothing for me. lol
Wow! You ended up with a lot of comments. That is so neat!
Well, let’s see… I found your site on 2 Peas after searching for ideas for Scrapbook Rooms. Now, I know you in real life and I am so thrilled to call you my friend . :)
Hope you guys are doing well!
Hey Amanda!
Let’s see, it’s been a few years since I stumbled upon your website. I was searching for scrapbook room ideas and found you! :) I decided to check back every now & then for updates. I love all of the fonts, recipes & scrapbook pages…keep posting them!! I also love your decorating style & would love to see more of that, too! Thanks for sharing your life with all of us!

I found your site from google-ing free handwritten fonts! I love all the fonts you have! And now that you have recipes, even better!
i found your blog through 2peas.. I love trying new recipes and you have some great recipes on your blog..
I think I found you through another site that geared me to your scrap room pics. I love your recipes (and your commentary). Great looking site too! Super cute!
Hey there!
Thank you so much for sharing a ton of fabulous fonts, scrap ideas, and so much more! To tell you the truth, I am not sure how I ended up at your blog, but I do know I was on one of my many bookmarked blogs and you must have been in a blogroll on one of them. I am so sorry, I just can’t recall where I was before here. Once I got here, I got soooooo enthralled in all your cool stuff!!!!!
Thank you for sharing so much cool stuff. Not sure if you ever use Stampin’ Up! products, but if you do, I’d love to extend to you my FULL demonstrator discount which is 20%. It’s the very least I could do for you!!
I’ll be back often and I have subscribed. Thanks again for sharing your life!

I actually found you a couple of years ago by searching for scrapbook recipes. I lpve to scrap my recipes! I miss you adding new ones though. You have the best examples that I have ever found online.
I love your site and I am so thrilled about the free fonts that you have. I have downloaded them all ;)
I am also enjoying the new recipe blog that you have, your recipes all look yummy and I will try them once I am no longer dieting …which may be awhile!
Would love to see you add some more scrapped recipes!
Hi Amanda! Just thought I’d chime in to say I adore your website designs and your free fonts. Love getting to know you a bit through your work.
Thanks so much for all you give and do.
I first found your website via a link for incredible scrap rooms. I keep coming back for the pictures of your “kids”. My little niece and nephew always insist on visiting Howie and Miley whenever they visit me. I think the puppies are at least as favorite of an activity as the crafts we make or stories we read. I do enjoy reading your recipies, but haven’t tried any because we are not so young anymore as we can have level of fat in most of them. Thanks for such a great blog – and we would also enjy some updated photos of the kitties!!!
Hi Amanda,
I came to your site after googling for scrapbook room inspiration, and organizational ideas. I fell in love with your room, and then it was a bonus to see all your wonderful photo albums and recipes. I love taking landscape photos, and cooking too. I’m now a fan, and a frequent vistor to see “what’s new” with you. And you made me a fan of the Pioneering woman. Who knew!?
I came to check out your scrapbook organization (which is fantastic btw) I followed a link from organizedscrapbooks.com and I’m glad I did! your blog is great! I did have a question about what camera you use but now I see you have it listed. Thanks for the great organization ideas!
I was looking for recipes and found your blog. It is so fun! So I have kept checking it out. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing all your talents.
I can’t remember how exactly I found your site, but I’m sure it was from the fonts :)
I read ya on bloglines. I’m not much of a cook, but the recipes do look good :)
I stumbled upon your site while looking for scrapbooking rooms as I hope to remodel my space in the near future. And WOW, what an inspiration you are, thank you!!!
I’m also thinking about a new camera so I appreciate your comments on your own camera.
Dear Amanda…
Writing from BC, Canada! Love your site, found you through digital scrapbooking and am a font junkie so love checking yours out. I pass you website on to everyone I know when they ask about fonts! Could you please let us know where you get the gorgeous papers for your site!
thanks a bunch….Kasandra
I’m a font freak! I love the fonts – I am trying to get a newly-engaged girlfriend to send in her handwriting so I can use it on her shower invitations. And then I saw the recipes….and now I’m thinking maybe I need a better background for my blog……
Came over on your link from 2peas. Your site is adorable! Look forward to browsing through it some more!
I’ve been lurking and stalking you since the days of Scrapjazz.com. Remember me? I’m not over the anymore and pretty much just lurk around visiting blogs and such. I LOVE the new change to your site. I’ve not been here for a few months and this is just fabulous!! Hmmmm….I think I’ll subscribe!!
Goodness, I don’t know where to start! I absolutely love your website. I am only 17 years old, but one of my biggest interents right now is all the website design stuff & all. I currently have a geocities site as I noticed you mentioned in one of your readings. I’m slowly figuing things out on it, but constantly stumped because I’m just about the only one in my family that can do anything besides email on the computer. I stumbbled onto your site searching for pea sites on google & every since I’ve just came back to it looking at the amazing design of it. Well, I’d love to hear back from you. I have tons of questions :)
Ok…while I don’t remember the specifics, I know I was searching for some inspiration on what to do or how to organize a “scrapbook room”. I stumbled across some pictures of your AMAZING room and somehow or another it let me back to your blog, where I then became even more inspired by all of your wonderful pictures, fonts, scrapbook pages, etc. etc etc.!
I haven’t stopped by in a while, but I’m going to be sure and subscribe so I stay up to date on all the new happenings! :)
Keep up the creativity!
Hi Amanda,
I ran across your blog while searching for fonts, but then found your decorating pictures, scrapbook pages, and recipes and have been hooked. I must admit that I am jealous of your very own scrapping room – nicely decorated too I must add!
However, I must point out that I am a MS State fan, but my brother is working for Tommy T at Auburn…. I guess that makes it okay… right???
Enjoy the blogging!
I just found you and love your work…hey I am also a big time fan of the 50mm lense!! I use it all the time!
Amanda,
I just love your creativity and style! I first found your page when I was looking to organize my scrapbook room, and the search pulled up the wonderful space that you created. Iam still visiting your page now for scrapbook ideas, recipes, and more!! Thanks for the inspirations!
I found your site years ago when I was looking at scrapbook sites and then I lost it. I thought it was well done but I just *love* it now — my friend posted a link to it and I was like I REMEMBER HER! Your FAQ is very good. You are super talented, this site is amazing! It reminds me of the pioneer woman. I love people that are very visual and can communicate their life well. I think you do a great job.
Hidy!! I am not really sure how I found your website – it was only about a week ago though and I stalk it frequently now!! You are so darned creative and totally have my dream craft-room. I would love to get into scrapbooking but my brain doesn’t function in that mode for some reason {shrug}. So I do other kinds of crafty things. I do have a blog (mainly of my son and other randoms)… which you should check out if you EVER have time! I do have a question regarding formatting my blog so if you have a chance, maybe you could email me so I could ask you! Anyway, I wish you & Kevin the best of luck – you sound like amazing people and I am pretty sure if we knew each other personally, we could totally be BFFs!!!
I LOVE your fonts. I am so excited that you allow CU for them. I can’t wait to make something and send it to you! You are soooo talented and I look forward to seeing more. I am not sure where I found you originally. It may have been on http://www.digishoptalk.com where I find about everything I need concerning scrapbooking. Recently I decided that I would sell my designs and couldn’t rememeber where I had gotten my fonts from. I needed to look and see if I had anything in my huge stash of fonts that was CU. I used http://www.dogpile.com to search for you and here you are. Here is where I sell. http://www.digitalcandy.ca and you can visit my blog here: http://www.brendasmithdesigns.blogspot.com
I first saw your site when I’m looking for “scrapbook Room” And I get inspired. So when we buy a house i will have my own scrapbook room too. But i am surprise now getting more better.
Found you through your scrapbook room on a google search when we were first building our home down s
south over a year ago.
My blog is:

I found your website through Digital Scrapbooking magazine. I expected to find a few fonts. But what I found was a whole lot more! I love your site! I’m a fontaholic and you have made me very happy!
Hi, I have used “Susie’s Hand” font in my blog :)
Come to check :)))
Thanks for the fonts & inspiration ;)
Amanda – Found your site from my daughter in-law. We were talking about making a rag quilt and she had found your blog with the instruction and pictures. I keep coming back to view you recipies.You have a wonderful blog and great ideas. Also, love your dogs video. Thanks, Eizabeth
Hi there! I just stumbled across your website today while browing on the craftedge.com forum. Someone on there left a post directing me to your site to find fonts. I am so in love! I absolutely adore your blog! I love to cook, scrapbook and do anything crafty! I’m always up for a new challenge. So now, I’m wanting to create a rag quilt like yours! I am so inspired! thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creativity! I am also amazed at the beautiful photos you have posted all the time. What kind of camera do you use? I’m planning to get a new one for christmas. I would love to have one that takes such clear photos like yours. Is it hard to use? I’m not that talented at photography, but I’d love to improve it!

Hi Amanda,
I am in love with your site. I’ve been coming here to check on your free fonts and doodles. They are so cute.

BIG SOUTH ALABAMA HUGS, JANIE
I found you through my obsessive need to organize my scrapbooking supplies. After reading through your 2 years of posts, and seeing you’re a fellow Boston Terrier lover, I just had to subscribe. Your page has inspired me to start my own. http://thepopelife.blogspot.com/ I’ve been needing to decorate my home since we finished the remodeling but hadn’t gotten any good ideas or motivation & your page has given me both, mainly because the sooner I decorate and get it on the market the sooner we can sell & move and I can get my own scrapbooking room (which I am totally jealous of yours by the way).
Hi Kevin & Amanda,
Great blog, I came here through pinterest where Jen Jones of IHeartOrganizing blog had a pin about ‘What settings should I use?’ i clicked on that curious and here Iam :)
I just “discovered” you today and it was through tumblr. I have been going through pages and pages of your posts and just added your site as a blog I follow on bloglovin.com. I love the clean lines of your blog design, your photos, and posts … I have to say, I am infatuated.
Found you through Stumbleupon! LOVED all your dog pictures. They are awesome!
I found a pin on pinterest and have kept clicking through the linkwithin’s this morning. Love it. Great work.
Hey Amanda!
I think I found you through Pinterest. I keep coming back for your photography. Whatever you’re doing you take amazing photos of it which is really inspiring. I love, love that I can see your camera settings for each image.
Best,
Kristin
Hi Amanda,
I literally stumbled on your site from stumbleupon.com . You’ve inspired me to try macarons! Your site is so fun and I look forward to following you.
Blessings,
Sarah
