Hi from Colorado

Hi, been following Connie Prince and Roseytoes for a little bit and ended up here at GingerScraps. I got caught up in Christmas in July and ignored my two kids (8 and 5) all day yesterday....sigh.

Been scrapping for less than a year, but really started at the end of 2011, when I started a new "process" for creating yearly photobooks for the grandparents. We live quite far from their grandparents, so with digi scrapbooking, I can journal, and even include things from kids perspective. Hopefully it'll tell a better story than just putting photos on a page with a date.

Welcome Penny. You will LOVE LOVE LOVE it here!!! Gingerscraps is my one and only scrapping home. I got here by following Connie as well and then I just fell in love with EVERYONE else here and have never left!!

Hello and welcome to Gingerscraps, Penny! Connie and Ryan are fab and glad they brought you along :)

Welcome to GingerScraps. I know exactly how you feel, I can get caught up and lose a whole day, no clue where it goes LOL

hello and welcome to GS! glad you found us through Connie and Ryan and hopefully you find some more designers here that you love. I know I have. :) We live far from the grandparents too, so I totally "get" how making DS books is good for you and for them. :)

HI Penny! I enjoyed the Christmas in July, too! It helped me get so much done! Welcome to Gingerssraps!

Welcome to Gingerscraps! Glad you enjoyed Christmas in July ... and I believe you are spot on about how much journaling adds to layouts by telling the "rest of the story".
