         Sandy and her husband Bob live in southeastern Pennsylvania. They have been married since 1990 and share their home with their 100 pound Lab, Harley, who is the subject of many of Sandy's digital layouts.

Together, they have three children. Bob's son David and his wife have four daughters; his daughter Lynda and her husband have three sons; and Sandy's daughter Carrie (who was adopted by Bob after their marriage) and her husband are the brand new parents of a baby boy. Sandy says baby Ryan will be her favorite new photo subject and she is looking forward to using all of those baby kits she's been accumulating.

Sandy and Bob are both retired and enjoy getting away to their mountain "cabin" located in central Pennsylvania as often as they can. "It's a beautiful place to relax and there is a photo-op at every turn", she says. Sandy's only complaint is the lack of high-speed internet access.

She started paper scraping in 2001 and loved shopping for supplies as much as she did working on her albums. In 2005 she purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements to edit her digital photos and learned that the software could be used for so much more. As she searched for "how-to" information on the internet, she found the tutorials and assistance at DSP were just what she was looking for. She quickly found a warm and welcoming community of fellow scrappers and quickly made friends from all over the world.

Sandy's favorite foods are almost anything high in carbs. "It's an addiction", she says. Pizza, pretzels and ice cream are her favorite junk foods. Fortunately, she doesn't get a chance to eat them as often as she would like because hubby Bob does all the food shopping, meal planning and cooking so that she can spend her day scrapping and wandering through the DSP website. She is one lucky girl and is inspired daily by the love of her husband.
