karenlou is my sister 😊 As she said, I met Linda when she was in Rhode Island I drove down to take her to lunch 😊 I’ve met brandy327. I consider a couple Peas friends even though we’ve never met. I’m currently at a weekend crop with a group of scrapbookers I met through the old CK message board. I consider them among my closest friends.

I have not met any peas in real life. Funny I haven’t because several of my closest friends are women I met in google art groups back when they were still a thing.
I also don’t know any peas on Facebook.

I met my first pea IRL a few months ago and she was absolutely delightful. Really hoping we can meet more often once the chaos of life calms down a bit .

I met one Pea casually in Tuesday Morning, and I have known another Pea since 2008 on another private board. 2008? Damn we’re old! 😂

Yep, and I know Lisa! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) I always wave when I pass your house! Ashley has been at a school near your house for over a year. She also was in a BAD head on collision on 127 between your house and Bethlehem (not her fault) but BAD! Miss seeing you.

I know two in real life. One doesn't post here anymore and the other one does occasionally. Ferblover..
The first one was kinda fun. She lives in Tennessee and was visiting Colorado. I don't remember how we 'hooked' up. But we did and shopped at LSS/Archivers at the time and had lunch. It's a small world because her sister in law worked at the school that my daughter went to which was a very very small charter school. So yeah.. we are still friends on FB.
Ferbie is another one that was a funny story. Back when I used to do scrapbooking retreats. I would organize a group of friends and we would rent a house in the mountains for a weekend. At the time, there were houses that were setup especially for scrappers. One year we were short a few people and I posted on here if anyone wanted to join us. She responded and said yes. My husband said 'well I hope she isn't some kind of seriel killer'... I was like well there are eight of us and one of her so we should be okay.. haha.. She shows up and she is just the teeny tiniest little thang that I ever saw. SOOO cute. And SO sweet.. and I told her what DH said.. so now she is referred to as the 'cereal killer'. I miss her.. we only got together a few times but life just gets in the way and we live on the opposite sides of town. It's hard to make that happen. HI FERB!! if you see this.. lol

I met one in real life years ago. She lived not far from me, and we have daughters the same age who were starting kindergarten. (My daughter just turned 25 this summer, so that tell you how long ago that was!) I remember her name in real life, but I don't remember her username or know if she still posts here. Years ago, I arranged a dinner for St. Louis area peas, but at the last minute, I wasn't able to attend because of a family emergency. There are quite a few of us here, and I would still like to get together with them sometime. <3

I don’t think so.
I think all the peas I’ve met in real life (RobynJoi, EatCrayons, Tao, Tangee,Libis) no longer post here.
I’m “friends” with some peas on Instagram.

No, not really.
I met several peas WAY back in the day in 2003/2004 when I first started scrapping, at a crop. More from the scrapping section than the NSBR. Never kept in touch with them, I felt out of place.
I met a pea in Vegas last year (or earlier this year) when we were both in the area.
But nobody near me/that I keep in touch with.

In 2003, my dh and I were just getting ready to move cities within Alberta, and my now-friend Tracy posted on 2Peas asking for information on the city I was about to move to because she and her family were also moving there from the US. When we both were moved into our new homes, we met at a playdate at a local church (just in case one of us turned out to be a serial killer ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) ) and became fast friends after that. Her family moved about three years later and have lived all over the world, while mine has stayed in one spot, but just last year she and her dh moved only about 90 minutes from me, so we've met up a few times and have some more plans in the works. It's a lot easier to manage than the days when we met in Hawaii or Houston! She's not on the new board, but I'm grateful we were both on the old one and got to enter each other's lives ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

I know about 6 or 8 in real life, like in person, and another dozen or so that I converse with on Facebook regularly.

I’ve met most of the longtime Houston peas, I think, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen any of them. And I got to meet AussieMeg in Melbourne, which was awesome!

Yes! I've met quite a few Peas and they've all been darlings. I am so lucky!

Yes, but not seen any recently. I also picked one up at Newark Airport when she was to attend seminars at EK Success. Another from Australia, who I picked up at the Staten Island Ferry and we drove all over my area of New Jersey, to Joanns, Michaels, and 3 LSS, now long gone.

I went to a Pea meet up some years ago. It was kind of awkward and didn’t turn into longer term connections, but they were all really nice.
I know several Peas live in the same geographic area as I do, but I wouldn’t recognize them if I saw them in public, I don’t think. There used to be a big scrapbook event in the next town over and I always wondered how many Peas were walking around and we just didn’t know it.
