Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Meet The Team: Lynn Ghahary, Marie-Josee Hamel, and Jamie Harper

Are you ready to meet three more of our new Design Team members? Just to recap, we asked each of them to list 5 fun/random facts about themselves. We are also sharing 2 projects from each of their design team submissions, so you can see what we loved about them. Make sure and visit their blogs, to learn more about them!

I have a serious aversion to feet. Even my own. I won't touch them. Except my little boys' feet - I love those!
I am hopelessly addicted to McDonald's Coke. It has to be a fountain drink and it has to be from McDonald's. I have no idea what they do to it but it tastes so darn good!
When I was younger I used to do a stellar Pee Wee Herman impression and had been known to entertain the entire family (extended and all) with my antics at the holiday dinner table.
I am scared of moths. Really really really scared. I have no idea why but they give me the heebie jeebies. I'm shuddering just thinking about them now. Ick!
I say "seriously" way more than any one person should be allowed to say that word. And now my youngest does the same and I absolutely love it. Seriously.

My mother tongue is French. I was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, a beautiful place where not many people speak English. Funny enough, my parents don't speak English (even though they understand it), so I didn't have lots of opportunities to practice it, but I still chose to become a translator (English to French) when I was 15 years old. I've been doing this job since 1997 and I still love it!
I don't like cheese, except cheddar and mozzarella, and I can't stand processed cheese. I also dislike sour cream, plain yogurt and milk as a drink. I can say that I have a problem with dairy products, which drives my family and friends insane. They just don't get it and try to pressure me to eat it, but I won't! It leaves a weird taste in my mouth.
I love nature and being outdoors. I also love bird and wildlife watching, and all the wonderful photo opportunities that go with it.
I discovered scrapbooking in April 2006 during a trip to Louisiana to visit friends of mine. I had never heard of scrapbooking before. When I saw my friend's scrap space, I was instantly in awe. I started asking tons of questions, and within 10 minutes, asked THE question: "But where do you buy all of this stuff?" Less than two hours later (after all, it was dinner time when I asked THE question), we were at Michael's shopping, and that is where I bought my first scrapbooking supplies. It has never stopped since then.
And finally, for the life of me, I cannot create a layout from a sketch! I know this is strange, but I am kind of afraid of sketches. I feel obligated to do exactly what I see, and instead of sparkling my creativity, it hinders it.

I am a list maker....so bad in fact that when I am making my list for the day I will include things that I have already accomplished that morning just so I have something already crossed off.
I have a play-list that I listen to when I scrapbook that are all of my favorite songs but the instrumental version so I am not distracted by the words.
I never snack or eat when I scrapbook, I get super focused and lose track of time, that is why I only scrapbook when my kids are gone at school, or after they have gone to bed.
My toenails are always polished, but never my fingernails.
I LOVE to cook. Everything and anything. Whenever I make something new we rate it as a family. A 5 and we will make this a monthly meal, a 1 and we won't really be trying this again. I have never gotten a 0 but I think my family is just too nice and we basically all know that a 1 is really a 0 :)
