Hello from Southern California!
Hi! I'm Shannon from Orange County California. I have been a shopper on ACOT for a while and a lurker on the site for some time. I finally registered in the community last week during the crop. I lurked during the crop all weekend as I was just coming off a surgery! I finally decided to introduce myself!
I'm 40 years old, a wife to a sweet, sweet man) and mother to a six year old son. I love to scrap and make cards but I do more shopping than crafting at this point! I finally was able to start really getting into my paper crafting late last year when I felt my son was getting more independent and my health had improved tremendously! I really feel like I've accomplished something when I do really get into the scrapping and card making because I can have something for my family and the cards are great for everyone (and yes, the added bonus of enjoying making everything myself)! I love to take lots of classes and go to crops and/or retreats and I have learned a few more crafting techniques and tools in the last year and I love making little books and other paper crafts too!
I look forward to meeting so many of you in the forum!

Re: Hello from Southern California!
I'd love to see your work. So, what kind of classes have you taken?
I get to California 4 or 5 times a year because my dd and family live in Burbank and I need to see my grandchildren. I miss them alot. Have you lived in California your whole life?
Welcome and join in! The more the merrier!

Hello & welcome, Shannon. I have a hoarding problem, too. I'd love to buy everything...but I have stuff from 7 years ago and haven't bought anything in close to a year...and it's still overwhelming what I have! ![Happy :)](./images/smilies/smile_16.png)

I wonder, sometimes, if we ever give God a headache.
