    I just posted my first layout in the gallery, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been scrapbooking for about 16 years now, most of that digitally. (I work and rework my layouts so much that paper scrapping just didn't work for me.) I took a break from scrapbooking to homeschool, but now have a bit more free time in the schedule to take it back up again.

    I know a number of the members here from other sites, and I love a number of the designers here as well, so I thought it was time to hop on board. ;-) I have been a voyeur for a while.

    Looking forward to participating in some of the challenges, getting to meet new friends, and get reacquainted with some old friends. (Uh ... old as in friendship, not in age!)

    Blessings, Tracy

    Thank you, Anne. We used to work together briefly at MScraps before it went defunct, and I remember you from designer digital. Good to see you again.

    Justine, I don't think we have crossed before unless you had a different used username. But I am glad to meet you!

    Jan, thank you for the welcome. Sounds like your house and mine have the same protection systems! ;-)

    Thank you, Lisa, for the recommendations! I will definitely check them out. Always good to see another Texan. I'm up around the Lubbock / Amarillo area, so we are finally getting some warmer weather; unfortunately, we are also getting high winds so the dust is kicking up quite a bit.

    Cheryl, thank you so much for your gracious comment on my layout! I am so glad there are talented designers out there who can draw so beautifully because that is definitely not my talent. I LOVE your beautiful signature above. The colors are FABULOUS!!!
