When was Two Peas established? How did you get there?

I was the first person to register at 2peas. My number was 4. Kristina sent me a package of letter stickers as a prize for being first. 😊 We were regulars in the chat room at Jangle (Accucut's then message board and chat room). We met almost daily at a certain time. One day she mentioned she was starting a new site. I guess I was just the first to actually click on the URL and register. That was Feb 1999.

Scrapbook Addict {waves to Mystie) was my very first online message board experience. From them I heard about dMarie, Jangle (I'd forgotten about that one), and then Two Peas. I lurked on Two Peas for years. Then Scrapbook Addict folded -- or maybe that was when they changed the format? I can't remember exactly but it was never the same after that -- and I went to dMarie mostly. Then they closed and Two Peas became my only board. At first I was scared to register and participate because...well let's just say that Scrapbook Addict was never as "exciting" as Two Peas was from time to time.   But then one day I just decided I wanted to so I made and account.

I can't remember when I joined 2 Peas. I guess it was early 2000s. I remember that the first message board I ever joined was dMarie, then Scrapjazz, then somehow I stumbled upon the Peas. 

I've never been a scrapbooker but I've always made cards. I stumbled across Two Peas one day about 2002 when I was doing a search on some Basic Grey paper. I mostly lurked in those days. I just happened to click over to NSBR one day and arrived in the middle of a shit storm. Talk about shock and awe! I've been here since.

I started scrapbooking at the beginning of 2000 and I think one of our instructors at our LSS mentioned it.

I only went on to look at the gallery and pea soup- downloaded so many quotes, titles and full page black and white pages of layouts. Only recently came across a whole pile and threw them out!

I ventured onto the NSBR site one day but never posted. I have a great memory and can recall most of the drama and entertainment that used to happen there!  I started to tentatively post and had probably posted/replied about 20 times before 2peas shut down.

It took me a few days to find this site and I resolved then and there to post more. Put up an avatar, share photos, comment and even start threads on both Scrapbooking and NSBR boards.
I still read a lot more than I post but I'm improving!

I found the site through a scrap booking magazine. Looked at it for a day or two and then joined. Back then, I think I hung out mostly on the scrapbooking board and ventured over to the NSBR

I found 2Peas via Google, I think, when I first started scrapbooking in April 2002. I lurked mostly - had only about 500 posts when the board closed.

Another SBA member here too!! I used the same "handle" (Bridget in MD) in most boards so people knew it was the same person. LOL I started scrapping in 2000, after my wedding.

I'm older than most of you and I've "Scrapbooked" In one form or another since I was little. My mom and grandmother scrapbooked also, so that's where I learned to do it.

I was also a member of CKMB and if I remember right, that's where I found out about Two Peas. The late night crowd would talk about it, but a few members would make me feel like a traitor for "going to another board". Pretty silly now.

I joined in late fall 1999, but didn't post much. There was I big brouhaha about pit bill dogs one year. I stated an opinion that disagreed with a very very "popular pea" and got majorly attacked by her groupies. Oh my, the P-mails I received. Some of those ladies were no ladies, I had them delete my account. I came back a few years later because of the photography board (with a different user name) and mostly posted there until it imploded.

Now love spending time on the scrapbooking/card making boards. I post of this board, but on the fun or supportive posts only. This board is what you make it. For me I want it to be a nice diversion, not stressful and an aggravating.

I do appreciate our Admin for everything she does.

I saw an ad for free shipping with a $25 purchase. I never bought anything, but I found NSBR and have been along for the ride ever since. I think I joined in 2004.

I started scrapping in 1998, and found TwoPeas in 2001 after seeing an ad in "Creating Keepsakes" magazine. I'm pretty sure I ONLY
posted on the scrapooking board and gallery for quite a longggg time until I found **NSBR****


OMG, I haven't heard "Scrapbook Addict" in foreverrrr !!!!!!! I didn't realize until y'all mentioned it, that it was
my FIRST scrapbooking site! Wow, such memories !!!!! Hi Mystie, Monklady, and anyone else who used to post there! Mystie ---I
thought I remembered you from "Cropper's Cottage"---were you also there, or am I imagining that?



melissa ....that's cool that you were the FIRST!    
I also remember your title was something like "O PEA GYN".....clever !

Spring of 2007, I was on bed rest with my first and bored to tears. I have been scrapbooking since college, was a SU demonstrator, and I'm sure heard of 2 Peas through SplitCoastStampers.

I looked around, but the NSBR hooked me. I lurked for a good year? Love it!

I think I joined in 2004. I was reading Creating Keepsakes magazine and kept seeing 2peas reference on layouts. I was on the GS board for awhile before venturing over to NSBR.

I started scrapbooking in 1999 when my first son was born. I started buying magazines a couple years later and kept seeing 2peas referenced. I originally went to the site for fonts, then discovered the message boards. I registered in 2002, I can't believe it's been 14 years!
