Hi from O-HI-O!

[HavaDrPepper]

I see Cheryl posted so figured I would also. I'm also a member of the CT for ArtgalStyle and am happy to be here!

I'm single but a momma to 2 sweet Havanese dogs. Pepper is 11 and Paige is 9. So I'm sure you'll see a lot of layouts of them. I've also been scanning old pictures and have been digital scrapping them, especially of my father. He is up there in age so I'm trying to get those memories scrapped while I still have him around. I've been a long time member of another general scrapping board so don't be surprised if you see some of my layouts pertain to that. I regularly get together with other members of that board to scrap!

I am an accountant during the day and work for a textile rental company in west central Ohio. Keeps me busy during working hours but I really do love it!

I do hope to jump in to some of the challenges once I get more PDW kits in my stash...

bahahah I totally want to steal your username. I am a Dr. Pepper lover :)

Welcome to the group!

[artgalstyle]

Hi, Rene so glad you joined my team. Can't wait to get to know your kiddo's through photo's. And I'm not to picky, I like Dr Pepper, Mr Pib, Pepsie, or even generic cola. Gotta be cola. I'll have to do in paitent some where to quit, hee! hee!

Glad to know I'm with other Dr Pepper lovers.... although my name is an indirect reference to the drink!

I do drink Dr Pepper all the time. Pepsi is my backup and 7-up or Sprite in a pinch. Anyways....

11 years ago when I was getting my first puppy, I needed to come up with a name. He was black. As a child I had a dog named Patches so I wanted a name that started with the letter "P". As I was driving to Toledo to pick him up, I kept trying to think of a name. All of these words starting with P kept going thru my brain. At one point, I took a drink of my pop..... (see where I'm going?) "Pepper" is a spice and it is black, right? Great. Pepper it is.

Now, my dogs are purebred Havanese and I registered them with the AKC. You need a registration name. I got both of them from the same breeder and you usually use the kennel name in the AKC name. I also wanted to use the "call" name in the registration name (most breeders don't do this). So, it seemed natural to name him "Circo Dr Pepper" :)

I joined in some Havanese communities and needed a user name. I decided to stop using the name I had used for a couple years. Several people were using "Hava" in their names to acknowledge the Havanese breed. So, HavaDrPepper was born....

"HavaDrPepper" for Havanese breed and my boy Dr Pepper :woot:

By the way, my girl, Paige is named for my scrapping hobby....

"Circo Scrappin Paige Layouts" I was a CM consultant at the time and got her around the time their product, page layouts, were introduced.

Welcome! Can't wait to get to know you. I'm Katie, and I have a Pepper, too. He's a bichon mix (I say mix b/c I've never seen one his size before).

I'd give you some chocolate cake, but :piesmile:

[cyfisher]

oh wow Rene - great to hear the story of how you came up with your user name! It all makes sense to me now:coffee:
