Hi Fellow Scrappers!
I just wanted to introduce myself. I have never been on a usenet group
- so I'm not sure where to start!
My name is Melanie Morales. I was introduced to Scrapbooking about ten years ago at a Creative Memories party - but even though I spent over $150 that day, I didn't really get serious about it until about three years ago when I got remarried; and now that I've just had my first son, I'm really hooked on preserving our family memories. I've even taken up a big challenge of organizing all of our photo's from growing up - rescuing them from the dreaded sticky albums and will be putting them in albums for our family members. It's nearly an overwhelming task.
I live in Amarillo, TX. And I might point out that on your homepage on the local stores section. The Down Memory Lane on I-40 is not related to DML 2 on Bell and it does not have a website. And also, Down Memory Lane on I-40 is going out of business - though they have the big sign, I'm told they have nothing on sale. DML2 is a GREAT store. It's called DML2 because it is the 2nd store to Down Memory Lane in Lubbock. They are the stores with the website.
I am married and we have one son that was born in March after many struggles and miscarriages. He is our miracle child. I had quit fertility drugs and given up - and then 8 months later, surprise! I'm passing out at Wal-Mart and a little old lady is insisting I'm pregnant and puts a pregnancy test in my shopping basket - which I take when I get home and wouldn't ya know? I thought she was crazy - but she was right!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this group. I found it through google. I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends and sharing ideas & learning new things from others. Are there any others on here in the Texas Panhandle or Texas South Plains areas?
