Hello Everyone!! My name is Marilyn and I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I found ACOT by accident when looking for scrapbooking supplies. I am so glad that I did because this site has all the new exciting stuff! I love this place!! I really don't get to scrap like I used to because I work alot of hours but when I do, I love to make up the little albums. I like to work with the acrylic ones because there is so much that you can do with them. I love the online crops here, never been to a real one thou. ACOT YOU ROCK!!

I found ACOT when searching for scrap supplies.
The technique I am most interested in learning right now is digital. I have learned so much just today from the classes I took here at the crop. I am so excited about them.

The number of photos I use on a layout varies. I used to want to use every picture I took of a particular moment, but I am getting better at picking out one or two (or 3 or 4 - heehee) and let them tell the story.

I have been into paper layouts, but am slowly going hybrid.

The most recent thing I have worked on is a mini chipboard album I made of my recent vacation. I really enjoy making mini albums of all kinds. I made regular 12 x 12 books of my kids, but now I really prefer to make some sort of mini album about a particular trip or event.

I do have a scrap room. Unfortunately, it become the catch all room, too. But, it still suits my purposes. I try to get it organized, but then I pull specific items for a crop or a project and next thing I know, I am digging for things again.

Yes. I have been to crops. I love a crop, actually. I have hosted a few mini crops, too. This is the first time I have done an online crop and I have had a really fun time with it.


I am most definitelly an early bird. In fact, I am staying up way past my bedtime tonight!



My favorite 5 o'clock somewhere drink would have to be a Long Island Iced Tea.

And . . . I have to say, I kind of like being a Cherry 'Tart'!

I found ACOT while doing one of the online hops! What fun that is. I love games and this site is just wonderful~! I've been digital/paper scrapping for quite awhile, but am clueless when it comes to posting or linking in the different threads! I don't know how to create an avatar. I don't know how people repeat the questions from the original post???? I'm not hopeless, just not knowledgeable right now re: computer techniques. I do have my own scraproom, and the major thing that gives me the creeps are roaches! EWWWW! My 5 O'Clock somewhere drink is currently rum & coke (can't do the Long Island Ice Teas anymore lol!) So, hope someone can show me some computer knowledge! lol. I really love this site! Thanks for making it so friendly.
