from the #76 brag results

profile: A little bit about me...I am married to a wonderful man who is my best friend and patiently lets me create cards.   We have 2 children--a son who lives in Long Island, NY and a daughter who recently moved with her family from Chicago to Florida. This move was a real blessing for us since that puts our grandchildren close to us...Chicago was just too far away!!  We have a granddaughter who is 5, and 2 grandsons ages 3 & 1.  For over 20 years I was a Stampin Up Demonstrator, but in 2021 I let go of my demonstratorship. I still love scrapbooking & creating cards and have enough Stampin Up products to last me till eternity...so I will keep on creating!! I am currently designing for 3 challenge blogs: Cardz 4 Guyz, Sunday Stamps Challenge, and CAS on Friday. Proud to be a daughter of the Most High God--who was and is and is to come!!

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.
