Our second guest designer for July is the lovely Daniela Dobson from Irving, Texas!! Daniela has a tiny tot under foot so I am so grateful to her for taking the time to make ALL of the wonderful things she made for us!!
Here is more from Daniela in her own words:
1) Tell us a little about you--where did you grow up, about your family, how'd you end up where you live now, do you have a career?
My name is Daniela Dobson. I grew up in Croatia. When I was 14, I moved to Texas to live with my dad. I live in Irving with my husband, Peter, and our little boy, Alex, who is 18 months. I graduated college with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. I worked in an operating room until Alex was born. Now, my days are filled taking care of him and I am grateful that I am able to stay at home and watch him grow.
2) When and how did you get into papercrafting?
My love for art started at an early age and continues today. Serious papercrafting started about 6 years ago when my cousin had a baby girl. I haven't stopped since.
3) What inspires you or gets your 'juices" flowing?
Magazines, blogs, children's clothing, but mostly, just cleaning my craft area. It never fails. I find that long lost favorite paper or something I forgot I had and I start creating.
4) What is the "down side", if any, of our hobby in your opinion? What is the best part?
The down side is trying to keep everything clean and organized and finding enough time. With a little one, I get to do all my creating at night. I stay up way too late.
The best part is that it makes me happy.
5) If you could go anywhere/do anything and then capture the memories, where would you go and how would you show off your memories?

I would take Alex to Croatia. All my family is still there and they can't wait to meet him. We love to take photos and hopefully through them we could capture those special memories. I would scrapbook some of my favorite photos and I would make one mini album of our trip.
Here are a few shots of the kit I sent to Daniela to work with:
And look at ALL the fabulous stuff she made with it!
Thank you ever so much Daniela!!

Good post right here. One thing I would really like to say is the fact that most prseosoifnal career fields consider the Bachelor Degree as the entry level standard for an online education. Though Associate Degrees are a great way to begin with, completing your Bachelors opens many good opportunities to various professions, there are numerous online Bachelor Course Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online variants of their qualifications but normally for a drastically higher charge than the institutions that specialize in online degree programs.
