Hi Shivonne!
Welcome to digi AND to SSD!
Your story is a lot like mine in that I was a paper scrapper for several years before going to digi. I was burnt out, tired of the mess, and just didn't feel it anymore. I tried digi on a whim and never looked back! (that was over 10 years ago!).
I've changed your permissions here in the forum, so you'll have some more freedom around here. Feel free to jump in and make yourself at home. You'll probably notice some weird stuff (like needing to have certain things approved) until you have 10 posts. Those are just automatic spam filters that I can't override. If you'd like to leave some comments in the gallery that will bump your post count up quickly.
Again, welcome!
