This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jodi from Talking Twine and Trim.

Deezy, thanks for this opportunity!  First my name is Jodi and I am the happy owner of Talking Twine and Trim found here (talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com) and Just a Bit of Paper found here (justabitofpaper@etsy.com).

Now like most shops, I have a facebook page and about every other week have a give away.  Please come by and like my page.  I often showcase my products and have had "guest" designers here and there.  Look for talking twine and trim on facebook.  Last I have been a member of the Creative team at Scrapbookdoodle.com for years.  I love designing for Yvonne who carries loads

of fun scrapbook products and does amazing kits.

Enough of the self promotion let’s talk packaging, events and scrapping.  I got into my little shop with "NEEDING" some bakers twine one late night while scrapping.  I wasn't happy with my colors I had, so I surfed the net and the next week I was selling it on etsy.  I was hooked!!!!  I love all things cotton and I love color.  It was the beginning of the beginning.  I am also a FAN of tags so the bakers twine is just the answer to many of my tag issues.  Seam binding came next, yes, I LOVE tying things up I guess.  I have dyed it, hand scrunched it and just tied it up.  I love seam binding and baker twine combined.  Please, don't ask me my favorite color as it changes by the hour.

Next came bags and they have taken me to a little old time bakery on Main St. here in AZ.  They were always white so when I saw patterns and colors I knew these were perfect for me.  I have made 2 mini albums using these bags as a base.  They were super cute.

I "heart" washi.  Easy, quick and full of color.  Yes I love colors and patterns.

I have been scrapping for 10 plus years.  My style is...  Well, I don't know.  But a few years ago I stopped fighting it and decided to embrace my style.  I am happy with it.  It is always layered, usually has a tag somewhere and is always attached with twine.  I tend to like white and cream backgrounds. 

I have four adult kids, 1 fantastic daugther-in-law, and the CUTEST little granddaughter in the world.  You may see a layout about her later in the week.  I have lived in Arizona most of my life though I love the mountains they are just a few hours away.  I have traveled the world and let me say there are loads of places yet to visit.
