Kelly Noel has been an art lover her entire life. She used to help her Mom create makeshift darkrooms in their tiny bathroom at home. Art was always her most favorite subject in school and she almost majored in Art History in college before deciding on Sociology. Scrapbooking was a perfect fit for her, and Kelly started recording her memories in 1997, while in college. She found the online scrapbooking community in late 2004 and was totally obsessed from that time on. Kelly has been fortunate enough to be published in BHG Scrapbooks Etc., Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends and CARDS magazines. She won an honorable mention in CK's Hall of Fame contest in 2006 and 2007 and is a current Hall of Fame winner this year.

Kelly lives in Florida with her husband, Tom, and their two boys Jackson (almost 4) and Brady (14-months). She is a stay-at-home-mom, but she works 4 days a month at her local scrapbook store. She enjoys photography, crossword puzzles, decorating, shopping and spending time with her boys.

According to Kelly:

When I was a child...
my Mom thought I had a hearing problem, because I said "What?" ALL the time. Just a bad habit, though!

I can't imagine my life without...
lists. I can't function without them!

I would love to win a shopping spree to...
Room and Board. I LOVE their furniture!!

I was most embarrassed when...
today Jackson said "Crush it!" while we were looking at fruit in the grocery store, but it sounded like "Oh S**T!" instead. Three different women gave me the eye! lol.

My least favorite chore is...
cleaning bathrooms. I live with three boys...need I say more? :P

My guilty pleasure is...
peanut butter. Seriously, I'm addicted to the stuff.

I thought I would never...
grow out of being a picky eater, but I so did. I'll try things now that I wouldn't even let come near my plate 5 years ago!

You would never guess it, but I...
don't need a lot of sleep. I usually go on 5-6 hours a night.
