    Hi lovelies! I've missed the familiar faces I'm seeing here as I scroll the chats! I LOVED my time at the pad...but I started studying full time (did a Masters in Leadership) while working 3 part time jobs and my youngest finishing High School...and then getting very sick with a heart illness in 2020 and then preparing to and moving overseas with my husband. Then, this year, dislocated my shoulder followed by breaking my ankle and then packed up my home of 15 years and moved countries! What a year! We are now living in South Asia and trying at our age to learn the language! I've so missed my scrapbooking. With our luggage limits one thing I could bring was my digi stash! Excited to be back and hoping to get back into the challenges and scrapping again at night here. Love that my login still works! :happydance

    Congrats on all your amazing accomplishments! I’m about to start learning Korean. Which language are you trying to learn? Hope you’ve had healing of your heart condition.

    So glad you’ve found your way back to The Pad and just in time for MOC11. Welcome home!
