Thank you so much for playing along!

I like to watch the figure skating. Loved the sneak peaks…can’t wait to see the reveal! I’ve never been to the Olympics. I like to watch the figure skating.

I used to dream of being an Olympic figure skater or gymnast. I vividly remember watching the 1996 Atlanta games when the U.S. women's gymnastics team won team gold for the first time. I was sooo excited! Needless to say, my favorite winter Olympics event is women's figure skating, and I plan to watch with my daughter this year. I'm hoping we can start our own little tradition of watching together every year. :) I’ve always watched the Olympics, from the time I was a little girl.

I don't get to win, but I want to share my experiences w/ Olympic athletes. Though I've never met any winter athletes, I've met many summer ones! (all volleyball players/coaches of course!) When I was really young, I met Lori Endicott, and got her signature...I was so excited about that!!! Then I've met multiple men's olympic players, one in particular, Ryan Millar, actually STAYED AT MY HOUSE for a week or so. He would jump on the trampoline with us and bounce us way high! I went to multiple volleyball camps with him when I was younger as well..And what are the chances of this...but my cousin (who is practically my brother) married a girl who's sister is married to Ryan (did you follow?! lol) So that was pretty cool. It was fun to watch the men win the Olympics in '08, especially knowing some of the players. I love the olympics though! Always get excited about them! (honestly more summer than winter...but they're both fun!) This is fun Suzy! I don’t get to win, but I want to share my experiences w/ Olympic athletes.

I live in the 'burbs of Vancouver and each day it gets more exciting. I love all of the winter events. Of course here in Canada, we're nuts about hockey, so that's on the top of my list. My father was born in Norway so when the winter Olympics were there in the 90's I had two countries to cheer for! (I always cheer for Norway anyway.) In the Seoul summer Olympics in 1988 my niece won a bronze medal for swimming. We come from a pretty sports nuts family so the Olympics are always a family event which entails lots of get-togethers. I even scrapped a couple pages showing the torch relay and would love to do more! The only trouble is, it's close to 60 degrees here, a beautiful sunny day - we had the warmest January on record! Good thing for snowmaking machines as the mountain closest to Vancouver needs more snow! Here's my blog to show two pages I've done for the Olympics: http://scrapawhileatstudio4.blogspot.com/ Thanks for the opportunity! I’m SOOO excited about the Olympics.

The outlying areas are providing practice ice for the hockey teams. Nearby us will be the Russian hockey team. The torch arrives in our community this Sunday. I can hardly wait! My favourite events are curling, speed skating (long and short track), snowboard events and aerial jumping events. Let the games begin!!
