Hi everyone! I have been active here for a little over a week now, so I thought I should introduce myself! My name is Christie, but I usually go by Chippi. I am 28, I live in Tasmania, Australia. I am married to my high-school sweetheart and we have two kids, Melody who just turned 7 and Bellamy who will have his first birthday in February. You will get to know those two pretty well because they are the main focus of my scrap pages. I have been scrapping since just after Melody was born, and SO has been my home for pretty much all of that time. I was a little hesitant to find a new home, but I knew I needed to because I thrive on challenges, I barely scrap unless it is for a challenge. I was looking at the Lilypad, and I really liked what I saw, and as soon as I heard that Scrapping with Liz was setting up shop here, I was sold. Everyone has been so welcoming to us SO refugees, and I have had some absolutely lovely comments on my layouts. I am very happy to be here! I am hoping that I can revive my scrapping mojo this year (more hoping that my little boy will let me!!) but we will see how it goes. Also... I talk a lot, lol, so I apologise in advance <3
Welcome Chippi! It's so nice to see you over here! I'm a complete closet (shhhh) Liz stalker! Perfect month to join for challenges! lol! Hugs, while it isn't SO, and different, it is a wonderful and supportive community! I lurked for a long time before I jumped in!
Hi there @Chippi ! Oh I LOVE Tasmania, especially when it is Summer here in QLD haha! Although you had some hot days over Christmas if I remember correctly! Anyway enough weather talk! Welcome to the Pad, I am so glad you have decided to make your digi-home with us here and it is always WONDERFUL to meet another Aussie scrapper!
