I've got DD to thank for ....

[kb7496]

I joined DD almost 1 year ago when I first discovered the versatile world of digiscrapping. Now, 11 months later, I can thank DD for:

ALL my digi supplies
ALL my knowledge in getting around PSE (Cassie's tutorials and the forums rock!)
A new love of photography, which has led to taking Katrina's classes, involvement in POTD, which led to a NEW CAMERA (the Canon 60d) and lens and a wishlist for a few more lenses, which led to checking our more books from the library from Scott Kelby and the like....
Which led to more software in the form of Lightroom
Which led to backup EHD, Time Machine, and online backups
Printing 3 books for Christmas presents


Which has led to great joy and satisfaction in preserving our family memories! I've discovered working with pictures and/or LOs rejuvenates me.

You get the point... I can't believe how much I have learned in the past year and how much better my photos have become.

So here's my warm and fuzzy thank-you to DD, all who run it, and all who participate in it. You all filled a gap in my life I didn't even know I had! I know these threads pop up every so often, but it is true--there is not another community quite like DD.

I'd like to second all you said.. what a great place for learning and inspiration!!

Isn't it amazing? I never knew how bad my photos were until I discovered this place LOL. Your photos are really good, you must have learned a lot I am so happy for you, it's so nice to have something to be passionate about!

[conorsmum]

I will 3rd that too! I joined just over a year ago (I think) and the gallery inspires me every day. There are so many talented people here. This is definitely the best place to be!

[LoriS]

I know, right? I stalked this site without saying a word for 2 years! It wasn't until I spoke up and started posting layouts a year ago that I truly started to grow and learn(and accomplish something!!)! I still have to get on the photography though... that's my goal this year! To get better at photography and scrapping! Yay! Horay for DD!
~Just another testimonial from a happy member.

[whatnext]

(grin!!) you sound so happy!! excellent!

[Britgirl]

Yey! You're a welcome part of this community you know

[echogirl]

I'm with you... so glad we found this place!

[mymalloryboys]

I know just what you mean! I never thought I'd go digital in my scrapping, but DD certainly changed that. My dh is happy to have the dining room table back! I love this place!!!

[anxela]

I agree too. Becoming an active member really made a difference to me - how much I scrap, learning new things...and it makes scrapping so much more fun! (I guess at least some of you can relate to husbands not really "getting" this hobby? So having friends here that "get" me and what it means to me is so awesome!)

[ang66]

I for one am thrilled that I found DD!! LOVE this place!

[esther_a]

Kelly, I feel exactly the same way! Recording and telling the story of my family makes me value what I have!
It has been so lovely to have you join the community!

[Shannamay]

Well, Kelly, we are just too glad you found us as well! Love having you here, and love the way DD makes people feel. Katie and Randy have created something very special!!

[digigrandma]

I think the fun participation and interaction between all of us here at DD are definitely a big part of the enjoyment of this hobby for me. I'm glad you're here, too, Kelly!

Oh, me too!! Sometimes it's hard explaining to people that I have dear friends I have never met, but you all know what I mean!

[katrinak]

What a great post! So glad to be part of bringing joy to your life! LOVE to see your photos and pages!

[dugarner]

Yep, yes ma'am, and amen to that! I can echo everything you've said here.

I find myself constantly having conversations with hubby that begin with . . . "my friend _____, (from designerdigitals) who lives in ______, " . . .

He thinks it's funny. I think it's awesome.

[DonnaNJ]

So glad to hear I'm not the only one who talks about all of you like you live down the block :-)

[krystav]

This community is such a heartwarming place and it's amazing to get to share your love for things with other people, especially if your husband doesn't quite "get it" most of the time!

[earlofoxford]

We're glad you found DD!

[deanie]

Sarah, I say that all the time!! DD is a great place to learn, to discover the wonder of sharing memories and to laugh alot, too. Glad you're here!

[Janet1949]

I too talk to my husband about the DD gals, as if you are known to him as well.. I actually think he knows who Im referring to some of time.. as I speak about you all constantly..
Thank you for your cyber friendship one and all... I couldnt be happier..

[Elena]

Smiling at your post! Glad you are a part of our community too!

[Lisa Pate]

So happy you are here! Becoming a member of DD completely changed my scrapping habits. I went from not being able to commit to gluing a page down to a world with Ctrl Z! Love love love this community Katie and Randy have created for all of us such a blessing!
