new to this usenet group

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?

J.T.'s name is Jayson Thomas. DH's middle name is Jay and we added son to it. thus Jayson. Nick picked Thomas because he always liked Thomas the tank engine, and we told him to help us pick a T name so that DH and DS names would be flip flopped..... TJ and JT.

Welcome Melanie....I have been "missing in action" for a couple of weeks so missed your initial post. Thanks to Cathy for leaving it attached :o) I am a

50+ mother of three, grandmother of five...and pack leader to 11 shih tzu furbabies. I live in Central Scotland and have been paper crafting for a couple of years and scrapping since Nov 2004...although I have crafted all my life...just never with paper....LOL I think you will enjoy this group very much as apart from the very occasional TROLL we have no problems in the NG. Look forward to getting to know you and seeing your work :o)

Welcome Melanie! (sorry this is a little late in coming. I am catching up) I have only been a member for a short time and I love reading all the posts. I get a lot of good ideas, and there is a lot of enabling going on! I just keep thinking I can never have enough scrapbooking supplies, so reading this helps tremendously...haha! Linda C Illinois
