Not exactly a newbie to scrapbooking, but...

I’d like to introduce myself.

I am an Army wife who wanted to keep myself occupied while my husband was away in
Iraq in ’05. I did pretty good there for a while, but after he got home I put my tools away and instantly forgot about them. Yes, all of my tools are still at the bottom of my closet, but I want to blow the dust away and start again.

I wanted join this forum so that I can “catch” up with the times. I will try not to be a lurker and participate in discussions… :-D

I promise! Wish me luck!

Welcome to the board! Thank your husband for serving, from me..please! It's nice that you want to dusk off your stuff and start back up! Did you hubby takes lots of pics in Irac? I bet he'd love to get an album of his time there and pics that he took (if he didn't take pics, what was he THINKING??!?!) That would make a fab Christmas gift for him!

hi there, glad your dusting off your supplies an jumpin back in there. who knows, you might find your style has suddenly changed and that can be so inspiring...theres lots of fun and inspiration here. I always think its so sad when people who once loved scrapping are suddenly selling everything they own on craigslist... so glad you didnt let it sit in the closet that you would be tempted to give it up.

Welcome to the board! I'm an army wife too and my husband was in Iraq during '05 too. I've been scrapping for a long time, but we always welcome newbies. Even if it is only a newbie to the board. :-D
