Today is Nerd Pride Day! Are you a nerd? I’m a believer that all of us are nerds in one way or another (maybe we are all crafting nerds??), and today is a day to celebrate it!

Also, did you check out our current issue of Paper Crafts? The May/June issue’s Moxie Fabs column is all about spectacles! You’ll see many cards in this column with the glasses motif—the very symbol of nerddom.

So here’s the nerdiest of them all—the leading card from our May/June Moxie Fabs column!

    Yep, I live with a family of nerds! My hubby is an engineer “nerd”, my kids are both computer/techno “nerds”, future son-in-law in that category as well, I’m a medical/crafty nerd—and thanks to the other “nerds” they’ve taught me a fair amount of what’s involved to be a computer nerd. We are all “music” nerds as well!

    It would be easier to describe a way that I’m not nerdy. :) I’m a bit of an organization nerd. Everything has a place {that’s labeled} and that’s right where I always want it.

    I love to be organized, so I spent alot of time organizing my craft area so that I have easy access to everything.

  29. Mimi says:

    I’ve been nerdy since I was little. Always was the kid who played dungeons & dragons and other sci- fi games! I have DVD collections of the nerdiest kind: LOTR the extended versions, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galatica… You name it, I probably have it :-)

  30. kern says:

  31. Amber R. says:

    I’m totally nerdy about paperback books! Thanks for the chance to win!

  32. Caryn S. says:

    I’m a nerd in a number of ways, from a whole family of nerds! I love sci-fi, my favorite new tv series is the Masterpiece Theater Sherlock Holmes, and I have a TON of nerd-related tees from places like ThinkGeek, Teefury and Woot, but my particular area of nerd expertise is music. And I mean the classical kind: opera, art songs, orchestral music, piano music, you name it. Music history, music theory, all of it! It was my major in college and I love it to distraction! I married a nerd and had a bunch of little nerds too…in fact my son’s latest acquisition is a pair of those black framed glasses that he popped the lenses out of and wears just for fun (oh and yes he dresses up like Doctor Who!). Is that nerdy enough for you? If not there’s more where that came from!

  33. So I had to look up exactly what nerd means! Since “An intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession.” seems to be the best one I found, I guess I am a Paper crafting, rubber stamping, Copic colouring nerd!! However, I think the slang meaning which I didn’t see online was love of an unusual or not mainstream thing or topic, I am also a Sci-fi nerd, zombie-lovin’ nerd and a flashlight nerd. I have a strange love of cool flashlights. Any one with some attribute or function beyond the basic white bean excited me in a freakishly strange way!! Weird right?

  34. I’m nerdy about Star Trek TV shows and movies, and I’m also an accounting and numbers nerd.

  35. Laura Cox says:

    Well, I think I qualify in the “nerd” department….LOVE all things SciFi and the ScFy channel is the staple in our house every weekend….that or Mythbusters….lol. It’s actually on right now….lol. And also, definitely a paper crafting “nerd”…..never met a paper, marker, or embellishment I didn’t like….lol.

  36. Lisa P says:

    I’m nerdy with my boys and their friends. It actually helps bridge the communication gap between me and the junior highers!

  37. ava says:

    I am a nerdy second hand store shopper……lololo

    Oh, I’m nerdy about a lot of things… I’m a scientist by profession which means I’m nerdy about all things science but I’m also nerdy about my crafty stuff too! I love being a nerd!

  41. Jess S. says:
