    Hi Everyone! I'm not sure I've ever officially made an introduction here, and if I have, it's been much more than a hot minute, so time for me to say hi! I'm Lori and I've been here at TLP since 2013 when I started to switch from traditional paper scrapbooking to digital because I was getting tired of my kids always taking my pretty scrapbooking supplies for their school projects, lol!

    I live in Connecticut and am currently enjoying the snow and winter weather activities. I love to ski, snowshoe, hike, go to concerts (rock/indie/alternative music is my medicine), read (been doing much more of that lately as I'm intentionally curating what I ingest in my media world), exercise (my spin bike and weights are my therapy), and I love photography and, of coarse, memory keeping. My layouts pretty much always have to have a photo (single photo layouts are my fav), some journaling, and almost never a title. TLP has always had a special place in my heart and has been helped me preserve so. many. precious. memories. over the past decade+ and for that I'm so grateful!

    I enjoyed your re-introduction. I turned to digi after paper scrapbooking as I was always getting glue where I did not want it and when using inks - too many smudges in wrong places.

    Hi Lori- fun to learn more about you! I love concerts too. My sister and I usually got to a couple music festivals a year -- we have one coming up next month, in fact.
