Sarah*H created a FB group immediately after 2peas closed and a link to this site was posted there. I had been at the Bucket in the morning and then went to sleep. I woke up and saw an invitation to a group of refugee peas and I wondered what the Hell? I needed a couple of hours for it to settle before I could really read the message, and by that time, the FB group was going full tilt and there was a link to here. I read things at all kinds of odd hours and FB is too difficult a format for that, so I followed the link over and was completely wowed by our Fairy Podmother. The end.

I hadn't visited the board for a few weeks. Stopped in to see what I'd missed. It was gone....so I googled to see what happened and saw the reddit posting. Voila!

I found out from my friend, Sherry C. I was in a panic trying to find all the Peas.
Thank you, Sherry.

I sent an email to Leanne who does the BB threads and she gave me the link to the fb group. The link was posted there. This was all within a couple of hours of 2 peas closing.

I think you can probably guess!
I found out about the board closing on FB - I just happened to check in there quickly at a time I'm not normally online. It must have been at least an hour after that before I was in a position to get this place set up.
The amazing this is I had no idea until people mentioned it later how soon after the board closing down this all happened - by pure fluke I must have seen the posts on FB within minutes of the lockdown.

I found the link from another message board that quite a few peas frequent. If I hadn't found it there I would have gotten it a few days later from a nice pea who probably went through her old pea mail messages to contact people, and a friend send me a text right after.

I spent a few days in denial. I just couldn't believe it was gone, what was I going to do all day? ? Then I was like, wait this is the peas they wouldn't just let it die, I googled and thankfully found this site.

It took me a couple days to figure it out. I mostly lurked (only got to 761 posts in 11 years) but took me a few days to realize that the "giving notice" thread never moved from the top! Once it dawned on me, I googled and found this board. I stopped actively scrapping several years ago, and I can't remember the last time I was anywhere but NSBR on two peas, so I didn't see the closing on the main page until I read about it in a post here and went back to look. Mine is a similar story.... Lots of lurking and I favored the NSBR boards....I knew I could go there and find out ANYTHING from the peas. I googled and found this board after it took me a couple of days to realize the topics weren't changing on the old site, lol! Like one post said, I thought my app was wonky - and now it's deleted. Anyways, thank you for starting this site!!

First I emailed Leanne and she told me to join her Facebook page. Once I got there several other places were opened but finally our Fairy Podmother started this board. Leanne had a link on Facebook. Also some kind soul peamailed me but I don't remember who. If she's reading this, thank you!ETA: Oh yeah, and Elaine started up a facebook page. That was awesome too.

I googled Two Peas forums, found a link to a thread on the Disney boards, and found the link to this board there. Same here!

I am Facebook friends with only one pea, not to mention that we also email one another occasionally. But she isn't the one that told me! I found out before that! The only peamail that I got was 2 from a pea about a new temporary stamping board.
I checked in 2 peas before going to work and apparently, not long after I clocked in, 2 peas went down for the final count. I came home for lunch and checked in my other board, an offshoot of mostly peas and found out THERE that two peas was shut down for good. When I came home that night, I checked that thread again and they had links heading either here and Reddit or Reddit and then I found here. I lurked a couple of days before I signed up. I was messaging my FB friend and wondering if I should get sucked back into peadom and she said that I had to, I'd miss it! And she was right.
After all, I have peas to thank for the vinegar/dish liquid calcium deposit remover (I'm allergic to chemicals and scents), coconut oil, shredding chicken in my KitchenAid, my Dyson vacuum cleaner, camera, scanner, most ALL of my scrapbooking tools and actually BOUGHT many scrapbooking tools, dies and stamps from peas!
My DH's dog can walk again because of advice (BF) from 2 peas, in fact, when I was listing WHY I should stay with the peas, DH mentioned the nice lady on 2 peas that got Anabel walking again. Diatomaceous earth to kill ants that love my counter top! Well, this bunch of people are full of info and I would miss them! Lots of other things peas have taught me.
My last post on two peas was the 8th to the LAST POST on the LAST THREAD before lock down. What I want to know is, did "shylittleme" make it over here and how did things go down when she gave notice! I hope she is in her new job and doing well and come tell us about it!

I had a bookmark to the NSBR page, so I only noticed something was wrong when that post about oreos was still on the top of the front page for a couple days. I mean, I now we love out oreos, but this was getting ridiculous! Then I checked the home page to see the Two Peas closing notice and felt immediately lost. I know I'm mostly a lurker, but lurking was still a daily activity for me. After that I googled and found an article about the closing and someone had linked this board in the comments. And for that, and the Fair Podmother, I'm eternally grateful.

I'm a total dork and didn't figure out that the site closing meant the boards were closed too. Julee actually sent me the link on FB. (Thanks a million!)

After almost two weeks of feeling lost with no board to lurk on, I googled "where to go after two peas closed" and it brought me to the Reddit board. I wish I would have googled sooner. So happy to be here!

I was missing 2peas and searched online and found this board. I don't remember what I searched.

I read that it had closed on Cathy Zielske's FB page. I went over to have a look and I had a peamail directing me here.
I'm glad for that peamail, it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to google another site.

A little birdie from the Scrapbook.com message board when I got home from work a few hours after the lock on the message boards at 2peas.
