Let's introduce ourselves

Cool, nice to see a scrapbooker infusion here.

I'm Patti from NJ, I am probably more of a sporadic poster here. I've been officially scrapbooking since 2003, but always have kept photo albums and journals, all my life. I got way more into photography in 2011. I have gone thru phases of digi scrapping only, pocket page style scrapping, but mostly do traditional now. Instead of trying to scrap everything, now I focus on a few key photos/stories and am actually happier with less "stuff". I've been purging like crazy and continue to do so, and probably only spend about $200 a year on this hobby now. I make sure I love what I buy and I use it.

Currently I am trying to get my ancestry project together, been researching for years and need to start organizing it into an album. I started a blog this year (have failed attempts in the past) and have stuck with it pretty well, enjoying my little nook in cyberspace. I'm all about the no rules theory and just scrap what I want, how I want.

Oh and I am happily in a relationship with no kids. I scrapbook trips, adventures, everyday stories & my nephew.

Hi ! I'm married and originally from Texas but been in NY for the past 10 years ( what a shock and adjustment that was..lol ) I have 3 sons..29,32 and 34. I have been scrapping for about 20 years and started making cards about 10 yrs ago. I love working on almost any kind of crafts. I was in 2peas but was just a lurker. Got invited here and the rest is history. I love this place !

I'm Deborah from Arkansas. I found this board after two peas closed. I'm trying to move from collecting PL supplies to actually doing it - also in the process of converting to a more library of memories style scrapbooking instead of chronological. I need to give myself the freedom to scrap the moment.

saralovesducks, your link doesn't work for me, but I think it's to Gijon, Spain?? If so, I just Googled it, and it looks quite beautiful there!!  (and I think your English is very good.)

ETA: and I have to say, I also collect WAY more supplies than I will ever use... there's just so much pretty paper, and so little time!! And so little space to work on my desk, lol!! 

I'm Emily, a Colorado girl currently living in West TX with my son and fiancé. I had just started posting a little when 2Peas shut down and have lurked on these boards for a bit now. I have been scrapping since 2002. I primarily scrap 12x12 LOs but have started incorporating pocket pages into scrapping my son's baby album. I also crochet and make jewelry.

Hi!  Dee from Washington State, on the coast.  Mostly lurker, sometime poster on the old Two Peas. 

Two daughters, 24 and 20 and one son-in-law.  DD/SIL moved to California for medical school and I miss them terribly but am racking up frequent flyer miles! 

Married to college sweetheart for almost 28 years.  He recently retired from law enforcement and I'm still working in a small hospital as the HIM (medical records) Director. 

I have been scrapping for several years but really kicked it up a notch after youngest daughter graduated from high school.  My time became more my own and I'm loving hanging out in my scrapbook room, watching Netflix and playing with my collection, errrr, supplies! 

Sara, you aren't too far from Aguilar de Campoo then. My oldest daughter spent a semester living and teaching there back in 2012. She loved Spain!

I'm Lisa, I'm from North Carolina and I found y'all here when 2 Peas went away. I just turned 55, have a 27 year old son and divorced as of last Thursday (after 4 years.) I've been employed in county government for 23 years (social services) and have 7 more years till I can retire with full benefits! I am also a belly dancer - yes, that's right! My avatar is a shot from my very first solo dance, to a Rob Zombie song. I'm also a metal head. My space is shared with my silly little chihuahua/feist mix Snickers, an enormous fluffy cat BeBe and my son's BFF Jason, recently discharged from the Army. I love that they live here with me - their dual acoustic guitar playing keeps me entertained. We're all helping each other on our way to a better future.

I've been scrapbooking in some form or fashion since I was a kid, buying Snoopy scrapbooks at my Hallmark store and using bottles of rubber cement and scotch tape in those books! LOL Thankfully, I have been able to salvage the really important things out of those disasters and put them in a safe environment. I kind of scrap all over the place - mostly 12 X 12, but I also have several SN@P type albums with their associated inserts, a few SMASH-type books (reminding me of my old scrapbooks - stuff I want to keep, but not put in a 12 X 12 format) and I love to make cards. Right now, I'm putting together card kits for a 2 day crop I'm going to at the end of the month. I don't follow trends, don't have a favorite line of products because I don't shop by specific lines. Anything Christmas I'm going to love, however! LOL I've been mostly a Frozen Pea as far as shopping goes, mostly due to severely limited funds during the separation/divorce. There is such a wealth of stuff on Pinterest and I love using my pretty good stash of stuff to create things that almost look "new and fresh!" LOL

I also crochet, cross stitch, I'm a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter junkie and I also belong to the Order of the Eastern Star. (If you're not familiar with that, it's sort of the ladies branch of the Masonic lodge.) I was so glad to find the Refupeas - we become invested in each others lives so much and I missed everyone when 2 Peas tanked!

I talk too much!

Hi all! My name is Renee and I have been Scrapbooking since 2009. I live in NC and have worked in government (Child Support Services & Social Services mainly) for 27 years. I have been married for 24 years and have 1 child, who is 7.

I mainly scrapbook 12 x 12 with some Project Life mixed in. I went to a Creative Memories event in 2008 and did not relate to the craft. There was a crop immediately following the workshop presentation and I remember thinking the ladies were crazed about Scrapbooking. I just did not get it. A year went by and I was visiting a craft store and wandered down the paper rafting isle. I saw some pretty paper and thought.....hmmmm....why don't I just put my pictures on pretty paper and call it a day. Then, I saw some examples and thought....hmmmm.....wonder how they did that? I started researching technique and visiting scrapbook stores. I was hooked after that!
