I started out at Gotta Pixel and collecting freebies from DST (as well as RAKs, those were fun to win!) I pretty much followed Wendy for a while, NSBD (I think? National Scrapbook Designs?), Ginger Scraps, quite a few others but I don't fully remember names (one was a Christian scrapbooking site). I wasn't fully involved, just followed a designer I CTed for or something. But when I joined ScrapMatters, I had found my home! I became an SMG (scrap Matters girl) leaving love in the gallery and commenting around the site! I made some great friends (many IRL). I wrote for their newsletter, was on their site CT as well as other individual designers, I worked behind the scenes for a while. It was so sad when it closed!

I found my way to Scrap Orchard following a few designers, but then they closed and I was homeless again. I tried a few other sites before becoming more involved at SSD. I remain slightly active at a couple other sites, but this one is my main place to hang out.

It's so awesome the friendships that have been made through digital scrapping! I've met a few scrapping friends IRL as well! Just another reason to love what we do!
