How/why did you find this board?

I started out on 2Peas admiring the layouts when I first got interested in scrapbooking. I lurked a long time before creating an account, saving some favourite layouts and eventually reading the NSBR board. Because of a Facebook game a lot of the Peas became FB friends so when 2Peas shut down I was invited to join a FB group, Power of the Peas and found about about this board on there. 
I like this board much better. It is generally kinder. I ignore the political threads or read them but rarely consider posting on them. 

I came here when the boards got shut down on at Studio Calico. I started there after hearing about them on the boards at scrapbook.com (which were feeling slow at the time).

I guess you can take the Girl out of the NSBR, but you can’t take the NSBR out of the Girl. 😂😂

I started out on the old board, which I heard about from the dMarie board. I posted a lot on the original board and almost never post on this one! I do read the threads every day and almost feel a friendship with some of the people here because of that, but I never feel like I have much to add to the conversation.

My primary scrapbooking home was the DIS Creative Community board, for Disney scrapping. 2Peas was one of the popular shopping / layout ideas websites mentioned, and so several of us had accounts on 2Peas for that. When 2Peas announced it was closing, it was posted over there as well as a link to this board. There is at least one other member from the DIS active here although we haven't "talked" directly on this board, although maybe a few replies when we didn't realize. I keep wanting to because she has mentioned her daughter, as an older teenager, and I keep wanting to say, "No, she's 3!" Hi Buffy MissBianca

I came from the old board. I joined Two Peas in 1999. I was active at a scrapbooking board called Jangle before I ended up at Two Peas.

I came from the OG board. My signature says so.

I came to the original board in 2002, I believe. At first I was there strictly for scrapping inspiration and actual shopping.   At that point I mostly posted on the scrapbook posts.   Then I wound up in bed for 2.5 months about six after first finding 2 Peas, and that's when I started posting on NSBR as well.

I liked being able to go someplace where I could take about all topics in one space. Every other message board I was on at the time was scrapbooking only, parenting only, genealogy only. Waaay back in internet history I used to be on an AOL message board that allowed for pretty much all topics, and I liked that. But when I moved on from AOL, I lost the board. So NSBR was a great find for me in that regard. I liked never having to see people yelling about something being "Off Topic!!!".

I came here right when it first started--that very first day.  Remember the drama those first few days?  Someone was trying to get people to leave here and go elsewhere or something crazy like that??

And I've been here on and off ever since. I take breaks---sometimes because real life is very busy and sometimes because the vibe here feels like it's leaning too negative for me personally at a certain given time.  (And I used to take breaks on the orig. 2Peas as well.  )  But I've always come back.

I was looking up a crafter whose worked I liked, and it dropped me straight into the smack blog. I had no idea what anyone was talking about, but it was some juicy gossip. Even though I had shopped at 2Peas, I had never noticed the boards. Once I checked it out, I was hooked on the crazy, funny, smart conversations, and the great scrapbooking inspiration. Lots of good times with you all over the years, NSBR and SBR alike!

After the old two peas board shut down. I spent a day or two floundering in disbelief.
Then I googled.  I followed a link to.... I think it was reddit? discussion about the shut down, and in that thread had a link to here.

I found the original two peas, via the now closed AOL scrapbook message board.

Me too.  I did not find the new board immediately.  I was sad for many months and doing a Google Search for something brought up 2Peas Refugees and jumped on the train.  

Me too.

I've still got a bruise where they kicked us out the door!

From the old board. I used to post on the CM board and DeMarie boards and could Two Peas from there. I didn’t start hanging on NSBR until after I had been there a few years. I think it was around the time I got married and started having kids that I started hanging out there.

I also came over from the old board. I started there probably around 2000? I was a scrapbooker at the time, more or less. Meaning that I scrapped a bunch of pages but mostly read magazines and bought all the supplies. 😏 I can’t remember exactly how I found the original site, but after reading through the general scrapbooking forum for awhile, I eventually migrated over to NSBR and never really left.

By the time the board shut down I had a couple of Facebook friends from the boards, so I had a place to go before this board was started. I remember the panic well. I’m so glad to be here. I don’t participate as much as some but I do read here often and feel part of things and at home.
