Welcoming our New DT Member / Blog Coordinator Janice to our Crew

Hello all!

I would like to introduce you to our newest DT Member and Blog Coordinator!  Janice Daquila-Pardo was chosen for many reason: her scrappy style, commitment to her craft and social media skills to name a few.  Janice will be a welcomed help around here for me personally, especially during the coming summer when my family and I will be making a move.

I will let Janice tell you a bit about herself:

"Hi there! I love living with my husband, Matt, in beautiful Austin, Texas, where we own a technology company and work together every day. We also enjoy volunteering at our church and in animal rescue. So I guess we really must like each other! I believe that we all deserve the joy of finding a hobby in which we can become fully immersed and achieve the feeling of energized focus, or flow—and for me that’s scrapbooking. I love photos and my Silhouette and patterned paper (a little too much), but what really excites me is that we can combine all that with stories about our own lives to create art. How cool is that? I look so forward to being a part of this team and the site’s community, which inspire me in my scrapbooking—a hobby I love more each day for the storytelling, creativity and good people that it brings into my life."

You can find more from Janice here on her blog.


Janice will be jumping right in and sharing her talent with you and helping me blog all of our goings on!  Please join me in giving her a big warm welcome, and thank you all for visiting today!
