Angie Simonet
Hello, my name is Angie Simonet.  I reside in Sheboygan, Wisconsin with my husband of 5 years and our 3 year old son.  I work full time but my real passion is scrapbooking! 

I have been addicted to this hobby for the last 8 years, although ever since I was old enough to have a camera I loved taking photos and documenting them.  My scrapping style is anything from simple to complex, creating layouts with clean lines and a balanced look.  I have shared this love with my friends and family, and have helped them start scrapping their own memories  I don't think I go a day w/o picking up something that is scrapbook related!  By scrapping I not only hope to pass on the wonderful memories but an impression of myself as well. I am so very excited for this awesome opportunity to be a design team member for Moxxie!

I am mommy to 2 boys, married to my highschool sweetheart and live in Aledo, IL. I began scrapbooking in 2002 when I was pregnant with my oldest son and have been addicated ever since!

 I am a mother of two beautiful children and the wife of an adoring and supportive husband.  My family has always enjoyed my scrapbooking hobby and always love to be the star of the "project".  I have been scrapbooking for about 14 years and remember the first time I went to a crop.  It was like a whole new world opened up for me.  I had always enjoyed photography but this new hobby allowed me to create something from my pictures and also give them a voice.  I know now that there are so many stories in our pictures that would never be told without scrapbooking.  Well like everyone knows, this hobby called scrapbooking can really lead you into other crafting worlds and it wasn't long before I was learning how to stamp and make cards and then most recently I have even dabbled in the world of digital scrapbooking.  I love the scrapbooking business.  It is a wonderful beautiful community filled the most lovely people.  We care about each other, we encourage each other and we share a passion like no other and I am so glad to be a part of it.

2.3.09 Driving to Moxxie to Help with CHA Orders

On February 3rd, Kelley left home in Ohio, making an 8-1/2 hour drive to Iowa to help Moxxie pull the orders that were taken at CHA. Here are a few snaps around and about town that she took while here.

Bridge crossing from Illinois to Iowa (this was particularly daunting for Kelley as she is a HUGE scaredy cat going over large bridges over water...her hubby usually drives over these while she closes her eyes, holds her breath, however she traveled solo...no eye closing for her this time!!!)

On the Riverfront, you will find "Mississippi Harvest" a sculpture of a fisherman who stands in a clam filled boat, with a pair of clamming forks over his head. (Sculptor~Erik Blome)

J & K Button Factory...this is where Moxxie gets most, if not all of its buttons for their collections.

This sweet little thing is Jen's dog Josie...she has a licking fettish...

And Heather and her weiner dog Archie ( a little high maintenance he is!)
