Awww..love the "I'm the apple, she's the tree" reference. Your mom was so sweet the other night during the ustream. We could hear her sniffling and crying even before you put her on screen to introduce her. What an amazing family you have Monique!

Your mom is very talented! What a creative family.

How fun to meet your mom.:) What a blessing for you both to be so close and share so much in each others lives. What fun you will have at CHA--Just good to have you back-now we get two talented ladies.
Ok-I have to say very cute. I love how she stored in her shirt...You favorite drink is a margarita of course next to coffee.. love ya
Enjoyed the interviews. It is nice to get to know your designers better after meeting them at the webcast.
You two are adorable. Your mom is the sweetest!!
That is so fun - to work with your momma! I was wondering if she had anything else stashed in there - LOL. That is totally something my grandma would do. Love it!
How fun! Beautiful layouts! Love the robots!
Great interview, you guys are so sweet.
What a great interview and Susan...you are too cute. Obviously the apple didn't fall far from the tree! I love all of your designs and look forward to what's coming up!

What a great video and beautiful kits! Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous LO kits! Y'all are always doing such fabulous projects. TFS
I love these kits. You always put in enough places for more than one picture..and that's what I want. Four grandkids..need their pics in there. All three of these work for my needs.
That was such an awesome interview. Your mom is so coo!!!! I really loved that picker upper tool. How can I get one?
How nice to get to know your design team. I think it's great that your Mom is so involved in it all. Guess we know you you take after!
Great interview. Susan's "secret tool - caddy" is a smart idea. My spatula fell on the floor when I tried it though. Hee Hee.
what a great interview! LOL...ok...now we need to know where we can get our own picker upper!
GREAT VIDEO! And your shirt is absolutely DARLING!!!! You guys are doing such an amzing job with this new blog-style!!! LOOOOOOVE IT! I can't wait to see, each day, what you have for us next!
PS I forgot to thank Nana Susan for such a WONDERFUL tool-storage idea! These "things" have to be good for SOMETHING, tool storage seems like an outstanding use for them! hahaha You guys are so awesome!!! Thanks for continuing to inspire us! OH! And sign me up for one of Nana's kits! If it's give a hoot and has animals, it's DEFINITELY my cup of tea!!!
I love these kits! You guys are AWESOME!! :)

Very sweet. Love the family togetherness in your scrapping! I am not kidding, but when I dream of my future daughter-in-laws (I have 3 boys), I dream of scrapbooking with them! :)
Susan you ROCK, and I want one of those sticky picker upper thingies that you carry around in your bra...JazzyJan
Monique, we know where you get your creative talent from. Love both your work and your moms. Looking forward to more inspiration and creativity from you and your whole design team.

picker upper is too cute!talent runs in the family!
Your Mom is so sweet and talented. As I watched the video,I could see so much love between the two of you. You both are lucky to have each other. LOVED HER STORAGE AREA FOR HER 2 FAVORITE THINGS.lol
How wonderful to work with your mother when both of you are so creative.
Loved the designs shown.
Aw what a sweet video. I am truly in awe of the talent that runs in your family... adopt me! Thanks for sharing:)
I am just loving the videos you guys rock, and you already know I love your designs, keep up the great work.

Love you two! The video is great, and I love the layouts.
Sadly, I wasn't able to get any audio working on that video even though I turned the volume all the way up on both your video and on my own speakers. :(
Looks like you and your Mom have a wonderful relationship and it's just great that you can share your love of crafting and scrapbooking!
For those of you asking about that tool, it's made by QuicKutz and they call it the "quicker-poker-picker-upper". I purchased mine from QVC about 3 years ago - came in a bag of 4 (gave one to my Mother-in-Law, used one for myself, and for the life of me I cannot remember where I put the other 2, LOL), but they no longer sell it there. I did find it elsewhere, though - so you just have to search the web for it. ;)
And, BTW, it's my favorite tool in my entire scrapbook room!
Hi Susan - Awesome layouts!
