I've been a member of Paperthreads for a while now and many of you know me. But how well do you REALLY know me?!? ;)Can you pick out the false statement about me from the list below? Winner(s) get a free file of your choice from my store (http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66_111). If you are all wrong I'll just have my son randomly choose a name out of a hat from all guesses. E-mail me your answer to shellysart@verizon.net by midnight Sat. Pick only one please. Winner(s) will be announced on Sunday. Goodluck!




I’ve eaten bugs.
I own a monkey.
I bought a gold crown.
I was born in Texas.
I’m related to the famous John Adams.
My cat tried to eat our pet fish. I put the bowl up every night so fishie doesn’t become cat food!
My hubby was once mistaken for a girl.
I fell off my moped, knocked a few teeth out and totally screwed up my face. It took several plastic surgeries to make me recognizable again.
I love 80’s hair bands.
I am a “computer potato” and have acquired 3 jobs that encourage my “potatoness”.
I have aided in dispensing drugs.
My hubby is a flasher.
I am a singer…La, la, la, laaaa!
My daughter was delivered by the OB nurses. I was only in labor for 1 hour. When the doc finally got there I told him “He was late”. He explained that no one was in the ER to let him in and he couldn’t get his code to work.
I have chopped the heads of off snakes.
I’m a dedicated Survivor TV show fan.
My 4 year old son is missing a body part.
My mother was born in Vietnam.
I walk back and forth to school everyday.
I’ve helped to make quilts that get sent to disaster victims.
I feel being a Paperthreads designer is my fate. I have been so close to getting several other jobs but something always falls through. I have a feeling those other jobs just weren’t meant to be. I’m thrilled to be a designer for PT and hope you are too!

Jan!Congrats Jan let me know what file you want!


I know she is a designer so I had my son pick another name too out of the wrong answers!

Second winner is

mpluess. Congrats Michelle...let me know what file you want!


Here are my explanations if you're interested.


I’ve eaten bugs.

We go to a bug fair every year. It's really a lot of fun they have crafts like make a bee hat, games and various insect displays....saw butterfly crystalist last year. Of course they always have some sort of food with actual bugs in them...last year was cricket brownies and mealworm wraps. If you don't think about what you are eating it's really quite good!


I own a monkey.

A lot of people guessed this one as false. But....people that know me know that I always refer to my daughter as being a monkey. She is constantly climbing onto things...her arms are so muscular from climbing. She is constantly touching things she shouldn't like the garbage...just like a monkey! So yes I have a monkey!


I bought a gold crown.

This of course is in my mouth...got it for a birthday present! UGH!


I was born in Texas.-true but I was a baby when we moved

I’m related to the famous John Adams.-by marriage



My cat tried to eat our pet fish. I put the bowl up every night so fishie doesn’t become cat food!-true
My hubby was once mistaken for a girl.

Hubby had a mullet when I met him (so his hair was quite long in the back)and one day from behind someone said to him excuse me Miss


I fell off my moped, knocked a few teeth out and totally screwed up my face. It took several plastic surgeries to make me recognizable again.

False---this is my friend's story.


I love 80’s hair bands.

Sad but ture...I grew up loving them and they bring back many memories


I am a “computer potato” and have acquired 3 jobs that encourage my “potatoness”.

true-I'm of course a PT designer, secretary, and product tester for Mega-Doodle Inspired


I have aided in dispensing drugs.

Well now I see what you all think of me...no one picked this one...you think I'm a drugie! LOL! I worked as a pharmacy tech for a while


My hubby is a flasher.

I'm appalled no one doubted this one...it is true though...has to do with a little too much alcohol


I am a singer…La, la, la, laaaa!

Many of you guessed this one but no it is TRUE! I sing in my church choir and have snug in choirs in high school and school plays.


My daughter was delivered by the OB nurses. I was only in labor for 1 hour. When the doc finally got there I told him “He was late”. He explained that no one was in the ER to let him in and he couldn’t get his code to work.-true
I have chopped the heads of off snakes.

True-we lived in a rural area with many critters...I used to chop the heads off of snakes with a shovel


I’m a dedicated Survivor TV show fan.-true



My 4 year old son is missing a body part.

I did post a layout this once..he no longer has his appendix...they took it out as a precaution but we found out nothing was wrong with it


My mother was born in Vietnam.

true-mom and dad met while dad was in the army


I walk back and forth to school everyday.

True-take my son to preschool


I’ve helped to make quilts that get sent to disaster victims.-true

I feel being a Paperthreads designer is my fate. I have been so close to getting several other jobs but something always falls through. I have a feeling those other jobs just weren’t meant to be. I’m thrilled to be a designer for PT and hope you are too!--sooo sooo true!

Thanks everyone for playing and getting to know me!

Ya'll are way to funny!

I bet most of us think our lives are boring but when you really look at them some things are just way to funny should I say weird to mention!

and Thanks Jan but you were the one who really guessed the right answer. I just got lucky being picked by Shelly's son. But I surely will enjoy my free file anyway!

Everyone have a good day. Back to work for me!
