    Hello All,

    Some may know me already some don't but know one knows me under this name :P
    I am Melanie i am 37 years old and living in the Netherlands. I have a awesome boyfriend a son from almost 18 and 2 cats.

    For a long time scrapbooking whas my whole life. I lived for scrapping and designing but well then my health told me something diffrent. I started to get a lot of pain in my right hand and had to give up designing and scrapbooking.

    now i am 2 surgery's furder have some silversplints and still a lot of pain. But i missed scrapping so much that i decided to come back to scrapbooking at a very slow page. Not like 25 pages in one week.

    Beside scrapbooking i love to read books. I read a lot and even started a blog about books where i also interview auteurs! It is a lot of fun. I love cooking and baking and i love to go for a walk now and then.

    I think that whas all

    Greetings Melanie

    Welcome to TLP! You picked a great weekend to come and hang out. It's iNSD - (inter) National Scrapbooking Day (Weekend). There's games to play, new releases to check out, and lots of people to meet. Let us know if you have any questions! Slow scrapping is always welcome. Some of us are pretty slow.
