Good Morning Everybody!!

[Arizona Rita]

My name is Rita and I have been lurking here for about a week and I think Ive read almost every post!
I think you are all AMAZING!!
I would like to thank Buffy for letting me pm her and her quick response and she doesnt know it yet but I'm going to make her my mentor!
I have scrapbooked alot but have never swapped, alto I knew a lady who went to the same shop as I did who did and she seemed to have alot of fun with it.
Buffy shared with me how all this was done and should there ever be a newbie swap I hope that you all will include me as I would love to try this!
I would also be interested in a secret sister or I forget the name but anything goes swap.
So, hello to all my friends Ive yet to meet and I continue drooling over all your beautiful art!!

WELCOME

Well, you picked a great mentor.


Swapping and this board, in general are totally addicitve.

This is the first place I come whenever I get a minute.

Dont' worry about a newbie swap, we don't have specific ones for that. I suggest getting your feet wet. Maybe joining in on one and just taking one or two small groups and learing the ropes.

Feel free to PM me if you need anything.

Susie

Rita!!!!

Yep, my sister (not real life but the next best thing) BFF is Buffy.. she is the best!!!

If you need anything ask away and one of us is usually always around here lurking.. not only are we addicted to swaps, talking, sharing LOs.....but we also avoid doing our scrapbooks at time.. ask Buffy..very few if any of us are current on our books...but we do all have a LARGE abundance of swap items!!!

Ok, so speaking of swap items, I'm off to Hobby Lobby to buy 2 cartridges...but everyone... this is on the downlow... don't tell! shhhhhhhhh!

Ok, I'm leaving very quietly...but I wanted to welcome you again Rita to our cozy, crazy little corner!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

y'all are going to make me I love my peeps!

Welcome aboard Rita!! We can't wait to get to know you. I sent a PM to AlexWyattMommy since we have a few Newbies here. The toppers and tags swap that she is hosting will be a great place for y'all to start. So finish up your reading and hang out. Please ask questions if you need help, we are all here for you!

Off to go buy food and get the kids their mohawks!! See ya soon!

Rita! I agree with you -- we have a talented group here!

 

[Kim1964]

Welcome, Rita! The swappers on this board are so nice. I've only participated in a couple of swaps so far, but I've really enjoyed them. Buffy was my mentor for my first swap....she gave good advice and now I fly solo on my swaps.

It is addictive, so consider yourself warned. It is taking all the self control I have not to sign up for the next completed page swap!

 

[NemoMom07]

Its great to have you aboard. The more the merrier. I joined in October and have seen a lot of talent out of everyone here. Come on and join the fun. Or should I say addiction.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Welcome!
BAMB asked that I be sure to let the new comers know that my next swap is open to everyone. Here is the thread that explains what the swap will be...

Hope to see you sign up!

Hi Rita,

I was (am still) a newbie in January, now I can't even remember how many swaps I've done

. Everyone here is SUPER supportive. You won't find a nicer bunch of people.

And Susie is right, whenever I have a spare moment this is the first place I log onto...

I've got AlexWyattMommy as my scrap mentor ...

Welcome and I look forward to swapping with you!

Rhonda

Welcome, Rita!

You won't meet a nicer bunch of ladies than the ones on here. I was in the same place as you when I joined my first swap back in 2005 and I've never looked back (no really - my first items were so embarrassing! .)

I hope to see you around in a few of our swaps. AWM's Topper 'n Tags would be a good one to start. I'm also doing a Pet Swap in mid-July if you have a need for that.

Enjoy the addiction!!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Welcome, Rita!! I'm late to the party (as usual), but I wanted to send out a welcome! This is my favorite place to hang out!! Everyone here is so wonderful--both in scrapping/swapping and as friends!!

We're glad to have you in our little crazy corner!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Welcome Rita! you are joining an amazing group here! I haven't done a swap for a couple of months.......dang that life stuff getting in the way, but they are fun and VERY addictive.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Welcome Rita! you are joining an amazing group here! I haven't done a swap for a couple of months.......dang that life stuff getting in the way, but they are fun and VERY addictive.

and where have you been young lady??? Do I just keep missing you?

New blood (mwah hahahahah - does Tinkerbean have an evil cackle smliey?)

Welcome to the fun! You might want to prepare by clearing everything out of every room in your house to make space for the swap stuff and scrap stash that might be for swap stuff someday and the swaps in progress and the piles of photos you would scrap if you weren't swapping........

DH says I keep the post office going single handed - I explained he was lucky there were only 13 of us in the prima swap and it was light so I could just about get it to the PO in a bag. There is a reason why some of these ladies have pickups you know

Its great fun over here - who needs "real" poeple

 

[KatDisney]

Rita - I'm finally posting I've been meaning to for a few days now, sorry. You will find the ladies here exceptionally talented and the they each have their own special thing about them that makes them such wonderful friends. Everyone here does have in common the fact they are super friendly and will help in any way possible.

As Hope said i do live in El Mirage. She and I would get together to scrap, and swap "swap". If you ever want to get together just give me a holler currently I'm having a setback with the accident so I'm only scraping what I have to get done at the moment.

Again welcome

 

[KatDisney]

Here you go mazda i found you something

 

[ddavis860]

WELCOME!! This great group of friends! I have to say they are the MOST talented people I have met! And super nice...well don't get me started...just let me say that when life gets me down, this is the first place I come!

Check out our living room at the bottom of the Creative Community page too...lots of interesting posts there, and it's where we hang out with life issues and other kinds of things...

Oh and welcome to the swap addiction...MWAAHAAHAAHAAAAA

 

[Arizona Rita]

I just wanted to thank eveyone for being so supportive and welcoming and making me feel like a friend right off!
I hadnt realized how many nice messages I had recieved!
I hope someday to pay it back!
Thanks again eveyone!
Rita
