Wow, thanks everyone - haven't been around in awhile.  Thought I'd try my hand at the online crop this coming month and signed up today!

 All signed up and ready to go!

 Cool, I lived in Calgary for a year. I'm in rural Manitoba.

 Newbie to the board here...just found your site while I was searching for some flowers last week, and was really impressed with everything!  Looking forward to checking everything out and joining in on some challenges as well as meeting some new scrapper girls.
