Hello from Ohio

Designer: ScrapChat Designs
I'm pretty certain that I did not do this yet! So here goes...

My name is Jill. I live in southwestern Ohio. Retired at 55. I have 3 adult children, 1 angel in heaven, and 2 granddaughters. My 24 year old daughter (Sami) passed away from pancreatitis within four days of going to the emergency room. I say this because it is a part of me. Not getting over or accepting it, but the process of learning to live in the "after". Before and after 3/14/19.

I'm in the process of making digital copies of all my paper scrapbook pages, pictures (negatives long lost), scanning my negatives I do have and childrens school papers. Many of them were damaged when our house flooded in late 2018.

I am NEW to digital scrapbooking. However, I taught paper scrapbooking at two stores from 2000 to 2006. I've jumped in head first. I'm certain I own half of Gingersnaps kits and or templates by now. I've done two books now of disney trips that my daughter took with her siblings as gifts for them memorializing the fun they had.

I look forward to participating in the challenges. The Connie Prince one was only the third layout I had done without a template! Love learning from others.
 
Hello there Jill! It is very nice to meet you. I am so sorry about Sami.. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to deal with a loss of a child every day.. Sending big hugs your way and I hope to see you around the forums more :).
 
Hi there and welcome, I am Jill too (as my username suggests:)). Your loss is still very new at this stage and must be devastating as it will always be. Im happy you are here and prepared to jump into participation. I hope it will be enjoyable and therapeutic for you as it is for me.
