Now it is time to write my reply to each and every one of you. Just scroll down, girls. Sure you will find yours.

>Pattie:
Thank you for calling me your new friend! ) I think it similar, this hobby can bring creative loving mothers and sisters together, an could be a bridge between countries, between different girls and ladies, and between generations, too. Help us to make new connections, though many of them will be "only" virtual friendships...
Let me tell you how much I admire your work, I am between the readers of your blog, too. Herebouts I can't find any lady who deals with scrapbooking, and would be a Technology Support specialist, as you are... to say nothing of your memory pages... all of them are classic if you do not bother I pick one of them… that one about your mother leaving her old home… that one thouched my heart.
And another personal thing: I am also a sloooooow scrapper.. as you mentioned about yourself. )
Now I am already feel your warm hug... thanks for your welcome, Pattie.

>Dagmar:
As I wrote to you in PM earlier, I really like your pages, I love your taste and how you put the things together. Thank you for welcoming me again. Can I chose a favorite from your collection, too? That is 'Four' … the journaling is hot, and I like so much the composition itself.

>Dana:
Thanks for your reply! I’ve just taken a look into your gallery. Let me tell you, your 'You are loved' page is one of my favorits, and when I showed your 'Savor Nature's Beauty' page to my sister, she said, that's mervellous!

>Debi:
You are so nice! I reread your welcoming message again and again! Thank you so much. My favorite from your gallery is about the 'Vegas vacation' (1 and 2). It is full of life and memories.

>Tyting:
Hi! It was good to see another Europeans in this community =) I like your style so much. Did you know (probably not!) that your „I.” page inspired me so much in making my page about my husband? The favorits from you are „No more photos” and of course the Layout of the Day: 'Black eyed one'. That one is great!

>Yvette:
You know, that the greatest comment I have ever had in my short digiscrapper life was yours?! That one, when you wrote that my page will go to YOUR favs! I so much admire your pages and I could not believe that my beginner probational pages will draw you attention! Thank you again. Another personal thoughts: I love your kids, I love their smile; bookstores are my favourite places, too; my husband is a soc.worker, too (he deals with drug addicts…); every morning (here, in Hungary) I can’t wait to see your pick of the day (sorry I wish I could take this great work together with you, but – I think – my „scrapbook taste” is so eclectical because of this short time I spent with it. … ). And I love the way you express your feelings. And my favorite is.... all of yours! Fore today 'Clowning around.' =)

>Angie:
Hi, Gigi! =)) I knew another namemate earlier, but it was in the kindergarten, last time LOL. Ten years in scrapping, wow! I’ve read your introduction in the other thread, of course, and I find we are familiar in some things (hate to iron but love to do the loundry! – if you could see my hill of clothes still waiting for ironing…. Ahh!) And the favorite from your gallery is about your daughter, Kate and her pony tail on 'Your hair'. I can agree both of you.

>Kim:
Thank you so much for your reply to my introduction. Yes, you are right, that is, what warms my heart too, that all of us on this site do similar things, love similar activity. Maybe we are different in the inside, but anyway there is something which is common in all of us. We can share our thoughts and joys and other feelings and we can express it in a such a crative and artist way! Oh, how much I would like to be among you, you talented girls! Personally you: I ALWAYS feel good, when I notice you uploaded a new page into your gallery! You are a great photographer and a greate scrapper, too! I love the way you show how much you value your kids. I feel every page is a loving page.. if you see what I mean. You give me so much inspiration. My favorits from you is 'ELEVEN' – maybe you remember, I told you in a comment – and 'True Beauty is…' The page is really stunning, and yes, your daughter is the beautiest girl I have ever seen.

>Michelle:
Thank you for welcoming me! You know, that we are the same in one more thing over loving scrapbooking? Maybe you know what I mean. In your introduction in that other tread, you said, you are not very good at short-winded…. well, so am I, =). Let me tell you some really personal thing: there is a much loved big-babygirl in our family, my 38yo sister-in-law. She is not able to move and speak. She is 7yo in her mind. When I first met her, I did not know how to act around her, I did not want to hurt anybody in my future family… and I’ve found just exactly the same attitude in them which I read about in your 'My Precious Joy' page. They are also believers as you are, and our little family, too. So realizing how they DO their whole life with Monica thaught me how to treat her, too. So she is a precious gift, I can agree. And we are all happy having her since such a long time. I just want to tell you these. And my fav page from you is the mentioned one.

>Kathie02
Dear, dear Kathie. You always send me so great comments!!! They are full of warm words that catch my heart and make my day! Thank you for building my little self-confidence continuosly towards keep on digi-scrapping. I love and looking forward your comments every time I upload a page. Hope you will not misunderstand…. =) writing comments to my pages won’t be a compulsory task for you in the future =)) ! I love your works too. If I can pick two (or three) of them, it would be 'Innocence', 'One in a million' and your AAM page. Thank you again.

>Lynnie
Thank you that you call me to be a part into yours DD family. I was so happy when I read that. As I wrote to Pattie, too, I LOVE that you, ladies, taking time to do these treasures, I mean sb pages! For to see: here, in Hungary… after 40 years of suffering the ruling USSR regime, you will not find any grandma who would be deal with such kind of things. The attitude and mood is so different in our land. That is why I feel always refreshing and happiness in my heart when I see your pages. Maybe we (me and my friends) will be different kind of grandmas… Thanx for your comments too, and I tell you what: I love all of your pages. BUT, I chose 'My mother’s smile' as favorite.

>Monica
The other European, girl, and the other Norwegian! Thank you for your post. I went to your gallery. You know it is amazing what you can do with PS. The page 'Dreams' and 'You make me' are the best for me!

>Jodi
Let me start with my favorits from your gallery: 'Hope you know' and 'Tracks on my heart'. THESE are fabulous - I reply your flattering attribute you wrote to my starting pages. I love your works, too especially the journalings, those sincere words which came from your heart. I wish my mother would have ever written (or even said!) such kind of things to me…! These two pages thouched my heart, because your caring thoughts took shape by it. But anyway, thank you for your reply. I am so glad to have it (sorry I am not too original in these hard days – suffering this regular sick, you know). And one more thing: your birthday cards are stunning! EXCLAMATION MARK!
