LIBBY!!! You outed me! I'm just sitting here quietly, putting up my layouts, and you told on me. But you are a sweetie.
Thank you everyone for your warm welcome and your kind comments on my layouts!! It's always a bit overwhelming coming into a new community. And I haven't been part of one for a very long time! But Libby knew just the right time to tempt me with her digi stuff...right when I was getting back to scrapping after a year-long hiatus. So it's been fun looking around here...BUYING stuff is WAY too easy, but certainly satisfies my immediate satisfaction needs.
As Libby said, I've been a paper scrapper for many years and I do still love that. I always say, scrapbooking is such a worthwhile hobby...no matter how you do it.
A few of you asked about my paper layouts...OK, I won't be shy...I have a few here: MaryinAZ Gallery and you can see some of my really old stuff on my blog in the photo albums.
Thanks again...and I'll have to check out those challenges Libby mentioned.
Glad to see some locals here! jorgies5 - what part of Chandler are you in? I live on the west side, very close to Tempe. jsikardi - are you still in Chandler? And **Holly**, Mesa isn't too far away either!
Welcome, Mary! And I agree with what a lot of the girls have said--being a paper scrapper will definitely help you in the move to digi, coz well you'd know some of the best ways to make a page work I love your gallery!
Nope - no longer in Az
Moved to the midwest - But I make a point to visit Phoenix-ish at least twice a year (one of my dear friends is in Maricopa, and another in Gilbert) because I just love the area.
(I lived in Tempe when I was out west, though. I enjoyed being able to walk to Mill Ave./Tempe Town Lake - I left just when the condos were coming in and changing it up... 2003)
