OT: Getting to know you

Katrina, Joplin's only about 40 minutes away, which isn't too bad, especially with the new highway. And Pineville is even closer, I go to the WM Supercenter up there (since it's only 10 minutes from my house). I used to work in Bentonville too. I think that's how most people are around here. They either do, or they did.

Melissa, I am a 69 year old retired Registered Nurse . I am married to a very wonderful man who totally supports my habits and hobbies. We have four adult kids,eight grandchildren and one old beloved cat. My DH still works,he is also in the healthcare profession. I have been scrapping for four years ,the right way, and I guess all of my life the old way. I enjoy all aspects of this great way to keep our memories. I especially love to paper piece and like to make 'lumpy' pages. We love to camp and travel and both of these make great page layouts. But my favorite subjects are my grandchildren.

I am an assistant manager for Big Lots - a chain closeout store. I also am an independent consultant for MemoryWorks and TLC.

Gina, welcome to the group! So glad you delurked! I find that I do more "paper arts" than scrapbooking. So many of the techniques for each cross over it's easy to do both. Glad you're here, hope you stay "delurked"!

Welcome Melissa! Glad you are enjoying your new baby! I'm sure you will have a good time here. To find out more about the regulars here, you can also check out our website.

I'm from Cape Town, South Africa and have been scrapping for 6 months now and enjoying every second I get to do it!

Hi, Judy!

Sorry to confuse you. I was posting as Mel (no initial) until Mel from Lake City came back. So I added the K. But I've been here a couple-three weeks or so. (And lurked a long time before that). And thanks so much for the welcome. I've found this to be a wonderfully warm bunch of folks.
