    Well, I have been jumping around posting here and there and you are all probably wondering "who is this lady???" I'm Nancy and go by NancyP on the site and I am so excited to be here!! Been looking for a new home and when the name The Lily Pad popped up on my computer for whatever reason for the third time this week----I took the hint!!! I'm 76 years young (Yep! Love my age!) and am addicted to digi scrapping after years of paper. I also enjoy some hybrid here and there. I live in NE Michigan about 2 hours below the bridge so I am considered a Troll. You know----under the bridge???? OK--never mind!!! Those poor folks above the bridge are called Yupers because the live in the UP---you know; Upper Peninsula? OK--never mind!!! Anyway, I LOVE challenges and I see you have a wopper going for January!! Now to just get me some kits and have at it!!!! Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

    Welcome from another Michigander!!! So glad you found your way here!

    I live in the Detroit area (not really, but close enough). But grew up on the other side of the state in Grand Rapids! Our summer vacation this year will be to my parents timeshare in the Traverse City area, but we hope to visit the UP- Pictured Rocks, Taquamenon Falls (I'll need to learn to spell that word) and Sault Ste Marie.

    Well Hello!! I also live in Michigan! I'm about 30 north of Ann Arbor! Go Blue! With a lot of ties to the UP as that is where my parents are from. My mother spends her summers on Lake Superior, which is where her summer camp is. About 40 from Copper Harbor. I LOVE living in the Great Lakes State!

    Hi, Nancy! I don't currently live in MI but I'm married to a Troll. We met in college and graduated from Michigan State. Hubby is from the Detroit Metro area and we used to live (a lifetime ago) in one of the southernmost Detroit Metro burbs. We live on the other side of Lake Michigan now in Wisconsin.
