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

[KateD]

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!
