Default I guess it's about time I introduced myself...

I pretty much jumped right into the thick of things here and I know so many people here already, that I kinda skipped saying 'hi'. So... HI!!

I've been digiscrapping for about 1-1/2 years now and I love it! I was a paper scrapper for years before my conversion to digi and I also enjoyed rubber stamping, making cards, etc. Basically, I enjoy any hobby that will fill up my craft room! And I have a confession to make; I still paper scrap when I have the chance... there's just something satisfying about scissors and glue that digi just can't replace. Which is why I've ventured into the wonderful world of hybrid! I'm looking forward to the day when my projects look as pretty as all of the ones in the gallery here!

I suppose I should tell you a little about me, otherwise it's not much of an introduction. I've been married to the love of my life for 13 years. He's active duty in the US Army and is returning tomorrow (YAY!!!) from a six month deployment to Iraq. We have two boys (9 and 11) who are great kids most of the time and little monsters occasionally. I retired from the Army National Guard this year after serving for 22 years and I've worked full-time with my Guard units, as a software engineer, and most recently as a middle school math teacher, before deciding that I want to stay home with my boys and concentrate on being a wife and mom.

I love it here already and look forward to getting to know you all a lot better!

Hey, you look kinda familiar... ;-)

I'm so with you on the paper & glue bit! It's why I love hybrid so much - best of both worlds for me!

I'm so excited for you for tomorrow - have a lovely homecoming w/your hubby!!

Oh, and welcome to SSD!

Welcome to SSD, Kate! Glad you decided to join us! I'm also a former paper scrapper, but I have to admit, I don't miss it at all. I am starting to like hybrid projects, but I don't think I'll ever paper scrap another page. Can't wait to see what you do with hybrid!

Anyway, enjoy your reunion tomorrow!

The problem is that I have about 25 Creative Memories 12x12 albums that I'm using to scrap the first 11 years of our marriage. Some are complete and others are empty, but I don't want to abandon them and start over. Oh, and I have enough paper and stickers to complete them. I'm not sure I could bring myself to get rid of all that and just go digi.

Hmmm, maybe I should ask for opinions and go with the majority since I can't decide what to do
