When they closed, it was so hard to find a place where I felt I belonged. I wandered for a LOT! I was all over the place, participating in challenges at different sites, on different ct's. But never felt like any one place was home. I eventually moved over to ScrapOrchard, but it still wasn't fully home, more like a college dorm, where I was living for a while. Once they closed, I was homeless again! (Hopefully stores don't close once I decide to make them my home!)

Now I am here. Wendy and I made the decision together. But unfortunately, I'm not sure it's home yet. While I love the designers, and the challenges are ok (I'm learning to like the Passport system), and I feel I have a few friends. But I am still feeling like an outsider. I'm still not quite sure I fully fit in. But, this is where we agreed, so until we agree to move on again, this is where I will be!
I remember you and Wendy from SM! I was a SMG too for a while before eventually landing a spot on the store CT. I have so many fond memories of those days!

I totally agree with the others; I think you fit in perfectly here. I do understand what you mean about feeling like an outsider. It's hard when you join a new site and feel like the "new kid" but rest assured you are a valuable member of our community! I've loved watching your kids grow up (I think our girls are the same age), love reading your sweet comments in the gallery, and love seeing your posts. I hope you'll stick around!!
