Newish....

[Jane_Bond7]

Hi girls,
Since I've been reading all the posts by the new gals, I thought I'd introduce myself as well. Even though I've been a member since 2009, which is when I first started digi scrapping, I have been more of a lurker than anything.

I have 4 boys, 2 stepsons, grown and on their own and two younger boys, 10 and 12, who all adore each other. I started paper scrapbooking 10 years ago, and digi scrapping about 2 years ago.

I am a Dental Hygienist and a year and a half ago, took a full time contract, during which time I did no scrapping at all. (Lots of accumulating digi supplies though)
Now I am just working part time, so I took a class of Jana's to get me back into the hobby I love and get my mojo going again.

So I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in the gallery from their pages, and joining in on some of the challenges. I used to do a lot of challenges on another site and recognize a few faces from there. Esther_a, PaulaSG, JALong, and many others.

Happy Scrapping girls and see you in the gallery!

Jane

We love seeing you here! You are such a sweet commenter on pages! I'm so glad you are scrapping more now! I'm glad you found a home here! It's such an awesome community! I lurked for over almost 2 years here before I said a word and started scrapping!

I like you - been a member and a lurker for a long time, but just now really getting into "joining".
Looking forward to seeing what you create!

Glad to see you back scrapping. I know what you mean with no time. I've been stressed for time the last few months. See you in the gallery!
