Hello !

Hello I am new to the group. My name is Michelle, I am 45 and I live in

Wayne Michigan with my guy of six years, and my four legged furry children...lol. I have one child Jimmy who will be forever 12 in heaven. I lost him seven years ago this February 4th. I have a website for him at

I love to scrap and started because I had lots of envelopes of pictures of Jimmy (thank God I took lots of pictures) and I wanted to do something to preserve them. Now it is an addiction! I go to crops whenever I can because I think it's rather boring to scrap by myself! It's more fun to talk to friends while your scraping! I am really happy to be involved with this group. It looks like it will be lots of fun. Did anyone get scrapbooking items they will never use for Christmas? Me too! Maybe we can trade and get some use out of them. Michelle

Welcome to RCS, Michelle. I read your website and of course it made me cry! How sad yet how joyful at the same time for you to be able to celebrate the life of your son both through the website and your scrapbooking! The poem your boyfriend wrote is truly special and shows how deeply he cares for you. I wish you continued love and blessings.

I am sure that you will love sharing space with ushere on RCS. We love having new people join us and we especially appreciate getting the opportunity to see their work and share ours.

Again welcome and please feel free to jump right in!

Hi Michelle,

Welcome. Jump right in we love to scrapbook and enable here. teehee

I went to your "For the love of Jimmy" website. What a touching tribute to such a beautiful boy.

Like your idea for a swap of unwanted scrapbook items. We love to swap here usually scrapbook pages, but we're up for most anything anyone is interested in.

Hey there Michelle! I'm glad you decided to join in on our fun. I'm Katrina in Kansas City 35, single, no kids just one annoying cat. I've been scrapping since 7/00 and here at rcs since 3/01. If you really really like crops we're having a getaway weekend in May. If you remain a regular poster you're more than welcome to attend. This goes for all of our other newbies too.

Welcome to RCS Michelle! I've read Jimmy's site, and it made me cry. One of my resolutions this year is to be a better Mom. Thank you for the reminder. I hope you find lots more joys in your life to scrap, along with Jimmy, and you're able to share them with us.

Welcome to the group Michelle. Thanks for sharing Jimmy with us. Your tribute to him is wonderful. The poem your boyfriend wrote is a beautiful tribute to both you and Jimmy.

I like your swap idea too. I've been wondering what to do with some things that I know I won't use, but are too good to throw away.
