Bio:  

Hi, my name is Debbie, aka Indy.  I grew up in a farmer family in central Indiana, which is why my husband calls me Indy.  (I was the first Hoosier he had ever met!) While living in Utah with all the scrapbooking shops, I began my journey into the paper crafting world.  I started off with scrapbooks, but when I took a holiday class for making cards, I veered into the card making world and haven't turned back.  The advent of the Internet and blogging opened the world to sharing and being inspired by others.  When I discovered the FarmQuest challenges, I was super excited to participate since it reminds me of my childhood--feeding the calves, playing in the barns, bailing hay, riding the tractors, and finding the new batch of kittens! Thanks to Becca and FQGS for the opportunity to be a guest designer.
