Hi All! I thought I should introduce myself, as I have been active here for a few days now! My name is Louise, but my family and friends call me Lou. I grew up in Adelaide, moved over to Shreveport, Louisiana for a three year post doc, then up to Indianapolis, Indiana for five years - this is where my scrapbooking and card making habit came from! I then moved over to Benediktbeuern, Germany, where I had my two beautiful children, Abigayle who turns 9 in Feb and Christofer who turns 7 in May. I also got married to my wonderful South African American husband, Jeremy (he is born in SA, but then became American after living in Indianapolis for 10 years). I started digital scrapbooking with Go Digital Scrapping (GDS), then found Weeds and Wildflowers Design. I made a whole book of Christofer's first year with WW. We moved "home" to Australia in October 2010 and I have tried to keep up my Project Life, but life has got in the way, even though I was on the CT for WW. Unfortunately life really got in the way for Gina at WW. I kept producing desktops every month, but I have been looking for a new digital scrapbooking home for a while. The Lily Pad definitely sings to me - especially the whole hybrid thing! Also, I have to say that everyone is very friendly and like Christie from Tassie, I have had some amazing and very encouraging comments on my pages. Thank you to everyone who has commented! I am also hoping that my scrapping and card making can come to the forefront this year. So here is to 2016!
oh this intro makes my heart sing, from your traveling and adventures .....all the way to you that the Lily Pad sings to you...aw..that is really sweet! A Big welcome home!
Welcome! Hybrid is sooo fun! My family is international as well (I'm from the US and DH is Danish) and my kids are just about 2 years under yours
Welcome to TLP! I love hearing your story and your journey in digi. I hope you find lots of inspiration for both your hybrid cards and your PL here! Make yourself at home
Welcome to the Pad, Lou. It sounds like you have had an interesting life... love all of the places you have lived/been. I love reading about you and am glad you found your way over here and are jumping into MOC! Looking forward to getting to know you better! Holler if you need anything.
Hi Lou! Welcome to TLP! I have a childhood friend from California who now lives in Adelaide. I'd never heard of it before he moved there.
Welcome to The Pad, Lou! Loved reading about your journey in creativity! I hope you find TLP a comfy and cozy home!
Welcome Louise!!!! I'm so happy to have you here! I live so near Indianapolis! Too bad you weren't still here!
Welcome Lou! Love reading your story and can't wait to see more of your work (from a fellow australian, there are a few of us here...)
