In terms of your lifetime, how long have you been a Pea?

1/3 of my life, 23 years!

November 2002 is when I signed up - pretty sure I lurked for several months first.

so let's call it 22 years. I'm about to turn 54 so...40% give or take. When I joined I only had two kids - 2.5 and 11. I have three now and they are almost 33, 24, and almost 18 now

I've been a pea for 43% of my life! I was 29 when I joined with a 4-year-old, not knowing that another baby would be along in the next three years. My life was dramatically different, and now both my kids are adults. WOW!

I’ve been a pea for almost exactly half my life.

26% or about 1/4 of my life.

About 1/3 of my life I guess. I started off at scrapbook dot com and kept seeing references to the vicious, nasty Peas and got curious   I lurked for a while before summoning the courage to join in...and the rest is history as they say

I joined ScrapJazz first in 2008, then scrapbook.com, and like gar, kept seeing references to the Peas and wandered over to look. It would have been around 2008 or 9. I enjoyed the drama without posting much until it closed.

So 30% of my life. My goodness.

1/2 of my life.
Whoa 😳

41% of my life

25 yrs (maybe one or two more, not sure), so 36% of my life. I started on the Scrapbook Addict board (found address in a Creating Keepsakes magazine that came with a kit I ordered off QVC).

I joined the old board in 2001, posted a lot in the gallery etc. met a LOT of amazing people. So 23 of my 44 years. .. I wasn't even married when I joined!!!

It was definitely open around fall of 99 because that was the year I started teaching and I posted about it there.

I think I joined early - either 1999 or 2000 because I remember seeing an ad for 2 Peas in a CK magazine - they were in the back of the magazine and the little add was colored in light green to stand out . I was on there a few years before I had kids - LOL! How crazy is that. So if we go with 2000, then just under half of my life (like 45%ish) - I am 53. That really is something to think about. I really wish we had the old boards to look back as it would be fun to see what kinds of things we were posting over the decades .

I was mostly on the SB side and would occasionally lurk on the Pub and NSBR but was definitely intimidated by everyone!

I was more of a shopper on 2peas and had several digitals and fonts and then I also looked at the Garden Girls for inspo. Over the years I managed to get a few of the fonts to transfer over from machine to machine, but I lost a ton of the OG fonts that I loved! I wish they would republish the digitals somewhere to buy.
