I still go to DST sometimes...if I want to see a magical horse with a baby photoshopped onto the the scene like it's riding bareback through a forest full of fairies and mushrooms
(oh jeez, was that mean??)
Despite my snarky comment, I too prefer to drama free zones of the local store forums like SSD here
I think it's been a great change!
Where is everyone "hanging out" on facebook though? I don't have any scrapbooking connections through facebook...Do you guys like/fan designers? Or are you "friending" fellow scrappers?
