    I'm not a new scrapper -- I've been scrapbooking for 30 years or so (paper scrapping in the early years) -- and have been buying products from The Lilypad for six years (I peaked at my order history for that tidbit of info), but I don't have a gallery here and haven't scrapped in forever... haven't had time. I'm one of those people who buy supplies even if I can't use them because it makes me feel good! LOL! Anyway, my boys are leaving for college this week and I have just started a new job that I think will give me more time to do the things I love! I've never participated in the challenges here so I've decided to start with the August Challenges. I'm so excited! I just found the (so cool!) visual order history! It reminded me of so many things I forgot I had! Looking forward to jumping in and getting to know you all.

    Hello, and welcome to the forum side of things! :) Thanks for introducing yourself!
    Umm, is there another way of buying supplies??? :giggle Plus, I always say to myself, "I can't use this right now, but of course I could use this in the future!"

    Exactly! And then I buy something else and promptly forget the thing before that!

    Hi Michele! I love buying supplies too! And since they are on my hard drive, no one can judge how big my stash is. :stash
    I hope you do share a page or two or twenty with us! And yeah for starting with the August challenges! They are so awesome this month.

    Hi Michele and welcome to TLP!

    Congrats on the new job AND for getting your boys to college - that is a feat in itself!

    I think we all collect supplies. Or maybe I just like to tell myself that because it makes me feel better.

    And don't you just love the visual order history button? I think that's so awesome. I also love that the system alerts me when I try to buy something again . . . really saves me sometimes!

    Enjoy the challenges and if you need a quick template challenge, I have a free template that you can snag. If you complete a layout and post it on my website, you have a chance to win $10 to my store! If you're interested, you can check it out here: Fiddle-Dee-Dee Monthly Website Challenge | August 2018.

    Have fun scrapping! Looking forward to seeing your creations!
