Meet Cat & Nat

Good Morning Blue House Fans, Cat here. First, I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the kind words and support you guys showed us yesterday. We are so happy that you guys share our excitement. Eeek.

Let me tell you a little about myself:
-I have been married to my wonderful husband Cary since September 2006. He is all kinds of wonderful and I don’t know what I would do without him.

-I don’t have any kids, but I do have 2 fur babies: Precious is 18 and Birdie is 3. They are cats, their moods change daily and that’s about all I can say on that.

-I have two nieces who are pretty much the most amazing little girls in the history of ever. Miss Makenna is 6 and Maddie Sue is 2--- CANNOT get enough of those girls.

-I have the most handsome little nephew named Carter. We like to go on Chick-fil-a dates.

-I have a best friend that is crazy.

-I am crazier than her. True story.

As we were preparing for this blog entry, we each asked each other questions. Enjoy!

Nat: What is your scrap style?
Cat: Girlie. If it’s pink or sparkles, I want it on my pages.

Nat: What is your favorite subject to scrap?
Cat: That’s easy: my nieces, Cary & my vacations, my friends. In that order.

Nat: Why do you love The Little Blue House?
Cat: Because it’s amazing. And because I met you there. But mostly because it’s amazing.

Nat: What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
Cat: Hmmmm. That is tough. I am an open book and an over-sharer so there is not a whole lot that folks don’t know. I will think on that one and get back to you on it.

Nat: What’s your best Cat & Nat memory?
Cat: Te he he… hard to narrow this down. Maybe it’s when we separated from our group in NYC and went walking down Wall St. and had foldable pizza and saw the bull and never told the others (until now obviously)….or maybe it’s the time dressed up as robbers and kidnapped Hank the Plank from LBH? Truthfully, anything we do together is all kinds of epic, so there is no wrong answer here.

And now a bit from Nat--

Hi Blue Fans;
Nat here. I would like to consider myself the “calmer” and “quieter” one of this duo. Those that know me would probably agree. When paired with Cat, we act like a bunch of fools. Seriously, we do. Everyone has that BFF and can relate. She’s my looooobster-friend.

I have been married for 11 years and have one son that starts Kindergarten in the fall. If I’m featuring any project of mine on this blog, there’s a 99.9% chance it will be a picture of Carter. My husband, Jerry, crunches numbers all day; or as some say, he’s an accountant. I am a banker by day and a crafter by night. When I’m not doing either of those, I enjoy nights out with friends, traveling near and far, expanding my pins on Pinterest in hopes of one day making/doing 1% of the stuff I’ve pinned, shuttling Carter to whatever sport strikes his fancy that season and spending time with family. Cat and I also Skype at night. We talk all day through phone and email, yet STILL find more things to share via Skype. See, she IS my loooooobster-friend.



Carter, Jerry & Nat

As we were preparing for this blog entry, we each asked each other questions. Enjoy!

C: What is your fave subject to scrap?
N: Carter, of course. But to go a bit further, I really enjoy scrapping the random pictures of Carter. Those innocent, candid moments. Some of the photos aren’t the best, but those can sure tell a story. For instance, a day at the park that I only had my phone on me and all I could capture was him running about and not getting a single, clear and focused shot. It’s all about the time spent together and capturing ANY moment in that given time.

C: Describe your scrap style.
N: This is a hard one. Due to my subject I tend to lean towards the “boy” colors. I’m a sucker for orange and blues. I like a simple page and nothing too over embellished. I also try to journal on every layout.

C: What’s your fave LBH Class?
N: Too many to count. But I do love Miss Tracy’s Pickers classes, Scrapstashers and Pagebuilders.

C: Looking back over all of your pages, do you have a fave? Why?
N: YES!!! We took a vacation to Hilton Head in 2012. Our first night there, we walked down to the beach as the sun was setting. I stood back and let Carter run and play in the ocean. I took photo after photo after photo and not once was a face shot. One photo captured him as he was jumping up, looking into a gorgeous sunset. It’s my absolute favorite photo of him. This goes back to my first comment…..not all photos have to be staged and “perfect” to be the best. It’s all about the moment and the story!

C: You are on a scrapbook cruise. The boat is going down. You only have a few minutes to grab a few things before you are shipwrecked on a deserted island. What supplies do you grab? Why?
N: LOL. I hope we are on this cruise together because that would make some funny stories! I would grab my photos and/or passport as you can’t replace those, a journal pen, some misc papers, scissors and my stash of candy I generally have with me when I’m scrapping. I hope you don’t grab the same things as we can share and make the most of it 

C: What’s your fave thing about me?
N: That you have an awesome BFF. But seriously, we both have a dry sense of humor. And I enjoy that you are just as silly as me. And that you make me laugh. A lot. And you’re always on standby to correct my math. True story, y’all………I work with numbers all day, too, and I’m HORRIBLE at simple math. Ugh!
