Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to the Lilypad. I've lurked here before and even shopped and did a little scrapping over iNSD but then I got busy (imagine that!) and just never came back. But I loved the products here. So, I am back and have just spent a few days doing all but one challenge...I'm waiting my turn in the random challenge and I'll do that one too. I want to say how absolutely welcomed I have felt in the gallery! For being an unknown here I have gotten many comments on my pages and even was noticed that I was new and welcomed to the site, how awesome is that? So thanks ladies for making me feel at home already! So now I not only love the products but the people too And my Mom scraps here too, maybe you know her, chigirl? I live in Okinawa (a tiny island South of mainland Japan) with my hubby and two kids. Daughter is 12 and son is 10. I am a mom, taxi driver, tutor, housekeeper, accountant (ok those are just to my family, lol) and a for real yoga teacher, not just for my family, hehehe But I am also a scrapper and so I am very happy to be here doing what we all love and I look forward to seeing you all around Thanks for having me, Jen
Jen! Welcome to the Pad! And yes, of course we know Judith/Chigirl. You had my jaw dropping when you mentioned all your jobs, until I saw that you were being sarcastic (yes, i can be a little slow! lol) ... so glad you are posting your beautiful pages & have decided to hang out with all of us. It is a great place to be for all of the reasons you mentioned.
EEP. WELCOME! I thought I recognized those beautiful kids in your pages. We are so glad to have you and I love your mom as well (have known her for many digi-years ) I'm so glad you have felt welcome and can't wait to see more of your lovely work at The Pad.

hi jennifer and welcome!!! so happy you are finding some scrapping time. Everyone, if you see us scrapping the same pics with the same beautiful kids, it's ok I really did not steal the pics (i was actually accused of that once in a gallery post). They are my adorable grand kids.
Welcome Jen! It's great to have you here. I always love the mother/daughter scrappers...gives me hope for the future with my girls. Again, welcome! Make yourself at home.
Waw, Jen, pretty cool that you are both here and sharing the same passion! That must be pretty awesome!!! (Can you tell I miss that, lol?) I know what you mean with the lurking part and the warmth you are feeling here. It's something I come back to everyday since it's sincere and genuine! Have fun with us and I'm looking forward to seeing your pages, your family and your words! ** Hugs **

Welcome Jen!! I live in Japan too!! Colder place though Miyagi pref. I loved Okinawa when we went there for a few days about 7 years ago. Hubby had a congress but I rented a car and enjoyed on my own Nago and its surroundings. I was amazed by the color of the sea and also the weather even for an end of October time. lol Maybe when we go visit again we can have a scrap meeting there!! Have fun!
