Introduce yourself

26 years ago

Hey is been a while since we did this and many of the people have changed so how about introducing ourselves again.
My name is Penny, and I am from TN, I had two children, a boy and a girl, but my 20 year old son Adam, died 4/5/99 in a car wreck, where a drugged motorist ran a stop sign. I destroyed most of my family, and started my addiction with scrapbook making. My daughter Sequita (Indian name) is 23 and works for an insurance co. I have a live-in boyfriend of 7 years, and currently work on a printing press. So tell us about yourself.

I'm Jill. 40, single, emergency room nurse. Working as a traveling nurse for 11 years and recently moved back to Ohio after being in southern California for almost 15 years. My 2 sisters got me started and now with all my neices and nephews I'm beside myself trying to keep current and get my old photos out of the old yellowing albums. I've painted for almost 10 years...haven't had the time since I started scrappin'. Prefer acrylics and watercolors.

Gardngrl: What a great post! Your very good at expressing yourself. My wife and I bought a country home 2years ago. It just kills me to leave the big city and step back into time. Yes the wave thing, kills me. We have great neighbors, but your right bad neighbors can make you move. I am in a very expensive area and when meeting the locals I don't like to tell them exactly where my house is, because then they say oh your in one of those mansions. It's not a mansion but many local people live in trailers. So when you go some where your better off being vague. But they like local residents better than tourists. Then they ask, where you live. You might as well tell them, because they want every detail and the color of the house. The also know the names of everyone and your house is named after the person you bought it from. I love them all but they follow the beat of a different drum. Had my farmer friend grade my driveway, I paid him. He did a nice job so I asked him if he wanted a 25" color TV I had. He looked me in the eye and said what would I do with it. My gravel driveway needed repair and put 70 yards of gravel in it. Can be very expensive to maintain. Especially if not done properly like mine was. To drill a well by me cost $42,000.00, so you better check out what a well cost and septic, electric run to the house etc. You could drop a fast $75,000 real fast. The locals will help you anytime you need it. Just mention you have a problem and you get offers, use of tools, wanna borrow the dozer etc. In my opinion big city people and city life you can keep it. We dress down and accept everyone for what they are and make no judgements. It really was a wake up call for me to see what is really important in life. My town is about 160 people, and yes they all know everything about everyone. They like to know, where your from, what you do. But they do it in a friendly way, like breaking the ice and some small talk. What I like if some one works on your house, they would rather take trade than cash. Great system if you have a skill or service to trade. Very handy people, can just about fix or build anything you need. I would also recommend that you get as much land as you can afford. The last thing you want is to have a neighbor close by whey you move to gods country to get some room. I just purchased the land west of my property and I am in negotiations with the owner of the land east of me. Just want to make sure I am secluded. Neighbor down the road has a beautiful log cabin home and someone bought the land next to him and put up a house that looks like a garage, with plastic siding and on the lot line. The guys nice and a builder from the same city Iam in but when his neighbor looks out the window he sees white plastic siding. I cannot see any homes around my house and I am going to insure I won't either. When I first bought the house I wasn't sure how much we would use it, or would we get tired of it. Was worried that maybe this was a very expensive mistake. But we love it and I am so glad I bought it.

Its so nice to see faces with the names, and even nicer to see roses with the faces. Im Renee, 49, a history professor married to Mike, an archaeologist. We live in Simi Valley on a semi-rural half-acre lot in the house grandpa built (I use the term "built" loosely), which we have slowly rebuilt over the last ten years. No kids. We have a twenty-eight-toed orange cat, named Sam; a yellow lab named Sam; two Wyandotte chickens named Quasimodo and Blanche; and a pond full of goldfish of which only a few have been graced with identities. Mike also feeds an assortment of finches, scrub jays, and fence lizards, the last of which now run up to people with sandals on and bite the toes to make the toes cough up mealworms. My mother gave me the gardening bug and shes still my main enabler. I spent my years in college planting seeds in dry, narrow, dark apartment "beds" or balcony pots, shuffling pitchers of water to them from the kitchen sink. Since then, I have remained an astonishingly ignorant and lazy gardener with no foresight or sense of planning. My garden has grown in an entirely haphazard fashion over the years and makes no sense in terms of high-water/low water needs, design principles, shade/sun needs, color combos, irrigation systems I never cared for roses. The roses I knew as a kid were left to their own devices on the edges of unkempt Bermuda lawns, so that the grass would grow up through the rose and the lone juniper or zonal geranium next to it. Ick. Then I started looking at the photos in the Rose Gallery. Yeah. I dug a new bed and planted it with roses; Mike built new arbors for roses, I am talking my both neighbors into planting roses in the middle of a drought. This forum has saved me from making several serious mistakes, and I thank all of you for your suggestions and wisdom. I am also heartened by your stories of how to cope with disability and continue to garden. Hooray for the Rose Forum!

Hello :D I am Marie and live in Wyoming (the only WY person on these forms I think LOL) I have 2 children: Son is 25 and is blessing me with my first Grandbaby in April :) and my daughter just turned 16. Besides quilting and other crafts, I am an avid FOOTBALL fan (my friends & family say it is more of an obsession) and love to fish. I attempted sewing on my Grandmothers antique trendle machine, yes the ones before electricity with a leather belt. It was great fun but didn't really accomplish anything per say, I still have it but it is just for looks now. I really didn't get interested in sewing until I was pregnate with my son. I made my first one out of 2 - 2yd pieces of blue/white plaid cotton and dark blue flannel for the back. I bought satin binding, hand sewed every thing on and hand tied it with plain white yarn, then made one similar for my son but with little boy print for the front. I still have them and use the blue one for watching movies with my daughter. My Mom's, mom gave me all of her counted cross stitch books and I did that for the most part with a little crocheting/knitting until 3 or 4 years ago. I decided to try making a quilt with blocks after checking out this site and have been hooked ever since. I enjoy being in the Quilt RR and BB Block exchange - learning something new all the time. I love to be outside and grow just about everything: veggies and all types of flowers in the summer (LOVE Daylilys & Iris) and have lots of house plants and will try any type of seed. I have 6 Avacodo's growing now - not sure what I am going to do with them all when they get to be TREE's but they are fun. Oh, a new one sprouted last week and has 3 sprouts from one seed! very cool IMO I really enjoy seeing what others are doing - gives me great idea's for new projects. I have 5 to 10 going at an given time to keep from getting bored. I decided to go back to school for Archaeology this fall, I'm enjoying myself but it sure does cut into my crafting/quilting time... So my goal for this weekend it to finish up the September BB's and also my RR row and center. Have a great weekend all! I am off to my daughters school - she is head cheerleader and homecoming is tonight. GO CYCLONES!!! Marie

Hi. Joining this long thread a little late. My name is Lisa. I'm 35 and currently a SAHM to two boys, ages 6 1/2 and 4. I finished a post-doc in Clinical Psychology 2 1/2 years ago, before moving from Chicago to the Philly area. I plan to go back to work part-time some day but haven't taken steps in that direction yet. I've been married for 10 years to my dh Scott who is a Neurologist specializing in Epilepsy. This is our 2nd house. We've lived here for 2 1/2 years. It's a new construction house, though we didn't design it (when we purchased it, it was 95% finished). It's (to our mind) not particularly attractive on the outside, but it is very spacious inside and didn't need renovation. That was key for us, as we moved here with very small kids and had just worked hard renovating parts our old house in the suburbs of Chicago. New construction is an anomoly in our neighborhood. The builder had torn down one house, split the lot, and built two houses on it, facing the other direction. So what we have is a big house on a small lot and a funny shaped (long and narrow) back yard. No one has big yards in our neighborhood, and the neighborhood has an "urban light" feel to it, with side walks and homes built close together. We actually like this--we like knowing our neighbors and being able to walk, ride bikes, etc. on the sidewalks. We walk our oldest to 1st grade, which is wonderful as well. I like decorating but feel I am a complete novice at it. I am one of those people who know what I like when I see it but can't always imagine it in my head. Strange for me, since I consider myself a fairly creative person. I guess this is a art unto itself. We have a lot of white walls that need painting rooms that need tweaking. I just keep telling myself that it's a process and there's no hurry. Here are my boys celebrating Hanukkah this year: Here's a family pic. Had to go back to last April to find one of the 4 of us! Here, you can see some of the front of our house (stucco in front, siding and stucco on sides and back):

Hi, I'm Lynn from Lemon Grove (San Diego area) Califronia. I am a Nutrition Specialist for a school district. I am married and have 2 sons, 14 and 11. I like to do all kinds of crafts and swore I would not get into scrapbooking, but was not able to keep away. I have lots of supplies and ideas and tons and tons of pictures, but have not acutally started scrapbooking. I have decided to do an ABC book first because I think it would be easier to include lots of different pictures and not have to worry so much about putting all those pictures in chonological order. I read this forum all the time, but don't contribute much since I haven't really gotten into it. Love all the ideas - you all are so creative. My biggest frustration is not having the time or space. I want an area where I can put things out and leave them but only have the kitchen table at this point. Glad to meet you all!

Just turned 45, married for 6 years and have a three-(soon-to-be 4) year old son. Live in the D.C. area and work for a non-profit consumer affairs organization (such a change from the stressful private law firm I used to work for!). As an adolecent/teen, I used to spend hours in my room (very lonely angst-filled years for me) putting together little journals with clipped sayings/poems from newspapers, etc and trying to write poetry/prose. When I was pregnant with my son, the urge returned and I collected and kept EVERTYING to put in a scrapbook...even tried to write a poem for my evolving son. 4 years later and knee-deep in scrapbook paraphernalia I have finally STARTED! and love it. Made starter books for grandparents. This is a great site and thanks to all for the helpful advice, ideas, etc.

p.s. Penny: so very sorry to hear about your son. My (our) lives changed after our son was born and we will never be the same...smile

Hi, it's nice to be able to "meet" everyone. I'm a 27 year old married, mother of a 4 and a 6 year old--both boys. (That sorta sounds like an opening for a dating ad) I've been scrapping for about 4 years but only in the last 2 years have I gotten serious. I've recently got the other ladies at work (I work as a surgical technologist) addicted to scrapping also. My family lives in a small town in PA called Roaring Spring. My husband is very supported of my addiction, not ever saying much when I come home with new toys. Well once again it was nice to meet you all.
Happy Scrapping, Tammy

joelle from France

Hello,
I am Joelle, 38 and I live in Lyon, France. I am a computer Engineer, mother of 3 boys, 10, 7, 4. I became scrapbooking addicted one year ago, while we lived in South Carolina for my husband company.
Back to France, I met a wonderful girl, scrapbooking addicted too, and with the help of another friend, we try to introduce scrapbooking in France. My friends teach SB in their neighbourhood and have sent articles to magazines.
Some newspapers have already talked about SB, and next wednesday, there will be an article in a national french craft magazine called Creamania!
For my own, and because it is my job, I created a web site about SB in French, and try to get in touch with addicted or new introduced people.
I have 5 SB done , one on the way and many in project.
We try to organize ourselves to find supplies, because it is the main problem here, and sometimes have opportunities to place an order by the net, or to have supplies brought back by one of our acquaintance coming back from US!
So I read this forum with a great pleasure, because it allows me to get in touch with addicted people, and it reminds me my life there, and I contribute sometimes!
friendly

Hi! My name is Jan. I live in Springfield, Illinois. I am married and have 1 DD who is going to be 3 in less than 2 weeks. She is my scrapbooking inspiration. I started about a year ago and have only completed one album but I have helped my friend complete 2 and my mom start one. What is wrong with this picture? :) I work part-time at a local hospital in patient financial services. I pre-register and verify insurance benefits so patients have an idea of what they will be responsible for. I have 2 cats who are very spoiled. Besides scrapbooking, I enjoy baking, cookbooks, cross-stitch and genealogy. My Dh and I are going to celebrate our 10th anniversary with a trip to Disney World in Oct. I used to lurk on the Kitchen Table forum but now I am hooked here. Thanks to everyone for all your good ideas and help. I am happy to "meet" you all!

I started scrapbooking a year or so ago when I made a scrapbook for my grandmother. It covered over 100 years, starting with her mother as a child, there is alot of history in it! She enjoyed reminiscing with it and sharing her stories with us. She has died since then, but we have this scrapbook full of memories which is priceless to us. I now have 3 more in the works for each of my children. I love hearing about new ideas and just love this site. It's nice to have people to share with! P.S. Penny, I am sorry to hear about your son.

Patti in NH

Hi! My name is Patti and I live in southern NH, just over the Mass. border. I'm a stay at home mom to my 2 1/2 year old daughter. I've been married for almost 6 years, but we've been together for almost 11. He was alittle slow on the whole proposal thing. :)

I got involved in scrapbooking a little over a year ago when a friend of mine became a CMC and asked me to go to her house for a "practice" class so she'd be more comfortable at her first official one. I had never even heard of CM before that and went in with the attitude of "I'm just doing her a favor. I will NOT get hooked on this". Well, I'm hooked. I've been doing it faithfully ever since. I'm just about done my 2nd album for my daughter, which makes me caught up to date on her pictures!! I also did 1 sentiments album for my mom - I stole all of her wedding snapshots (not the photographers copies - just the ones that guests took) and put them in a book for her. She proudly displays it in her living room. :)

I've been coming to this site for quite a while now and I love all the great ideas everyone here provides. It's my first stop every day. :)

I make my living doing Alzheimers research, and I love the patients, but my real love is scrapbooking! Does anyone own the Crop in Style LS, or XXL bag on wheels? If so, what do you think? My biggest problem is lack of space, and keeping organized-and of course finding the time to scrap. It's funny, I DO find the time to scrap...but I can't (won't) seem to find the time to exercise! My pastimes are hiking, rapelling, climbing, Girl Scouts, Humane Society, etc. Nice to meet y'all.

Hi I am Teresa, 36 from MD, separated 2 girls 7, Barbara and 12, Ashley. I have been planning my scrapbook for 2 years (was great therapy during the initial shock of separation) and now finally putting it all together. I sure hope the girls don't tire of me taking pictures of everything we do. I never did the picture thing when they were smaller, just started with the separation, you know the 1st christmas alone, any road trips, everything we do, this Friday we are "doing" Barbi's first carnival, so I can wait. Anyone living in the MD DC VA area hearing of a rodeo in town on the weekend would you be so kind as to let me know. Barbi's dad promised and promised that they would go to the one here last weekend, but his wonderful girlfriend said no (a whole 'nother story) so needless to say she was heartbroken. Ok I have rambled enough, sorry, but it makes me a stronger person to "see" what a jerk he is... Anyway thanks for listening.

I'm the mother of 2 kids (5 yrs and 2 yrs old) and I'm expecting my third child the end of September. I'm able to be a stay-at-home mother, which I feel very grateful each and every day. My wonderful husband supports me on my addiction to scrapbooking, even helping me with layouts that I'm having trouble putting together.

I look forward to getting to know most of you via this forum or even thru a swap.

Hello my name is Catrina and I currently live in AL. Ia m 26 years old. I will be getting married on August 12, 2000. I got started scrapbooking about a month ago when I met a lady doing a scrapbook for her daughter in law (as a gift). I am soooo excited about scrapbooking. I am doing my first (wedding) scrapbook. Any suggestions, ideas, help, etc... is greatly appreciated.

Hello!!!I'm Vicky from TEXAS. I am 29 years old,married and have 2 wonderful children ages 7 and 4 (almost 5). I have only been scrapbooking for about a year and half. I really enjoy it although sometimes it gets put to the back. I am a stay at home mom and I have been for the last 9 years however even though I stay at home I stay busy. Its great to see where everyone is from. A big hello from TEXAS.

Hi folks!

Patti from NH told me all about this board several months ago, but it took me awhile to really want to get back into my scrapping. We were visiting yesterday and something just zinged while we were talking about scrapbooking, so here I am. :)

My name is Annie and I'm a SAHM to my 2 1/2 year old son, Cortland, and we have another one on the way at Thanksgiving-time -- just the addition we need for our Christmas baby. :) I live just across the border from Patti in No. Massachusetts and got into the scrapping the same way she did, but I'm certainly much slower. Currently I'm working on my son's book and have a long way to go - I'm still in the first 6 weeks! I have a lofty goal, though, and that's to get all caught up on his stuff before the baby arrives - we'll see if it happens!

Hope you don't mind another newcomer - I look forward to reading all of the posts here!

Annie
