What kind of Equiment do you use, camera, programs, tablet, etc…: Rebel xt camera (mostly I only use my 50mm lens), I have a wacom that I keep wearing out and then re-buying, and I think the most notable important part would be my HOT PINK dell laptop. I love it.

Favorite Lauren kit? My favorite Lauren kit is and always will be one from a long time ago called “all about you”… i still miss it…

Favorite layout using Lauren’s goodies? the layout I made with that kit:

Favorite font? um… you know my favorite thing to do actually is to use my table and actually write with my own handwriting, I used to actually make sure I did that on every single page.

Do random moments define you life? um DUH

Favorite quote: One can never consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar - Helen Keller

What was the last thing you ate? Coffee… yes la, coffee IS a food, and it is what I eat mostly.
