Newbie Has Questions...

[TinkerBean]

Hi, I've been scrap booking for years, but let it go after I lost my mom to suicide 5 years ago.(Dropped a lot of stuff - but ready again )

I really got inspired by this board last month (at like 3 in the morning) and I thought that I saw some kind of scrap swap, but having trouble finding it again.

Anybody willing to help a newbie and hold her hand while she gets the hang of things...(I ususally hang out on the budget board with my freap friends Hi AlexWyattMommy...)

Hi there! Sorry about your tragic loss, glad you're feeling inspired again. If you go up a level to "creative community" you'll find the swap threads under swaps - I think they're all closeda t the moment but if you PM the hostess you might sneak in the recipe swap as you're only a little bit late ;-). Otherwise check the swap calendar and make a note of what you fancy, then jump in as they open.

Warning - swapping is addictive! But it doesn't put weight on and its not bad for your lungs or liver, so I say so what?

Welcome to the boards, sorry to hear about your loss but I'm glad you're feeling inspired again.

I'm sure all the girls will be willing to hold your hand, none of them are *that* scary!

Hi AWM,

I feel so spoiled, thanks...

I feel like a 4 year old visiting his kg classroom for the first time...

I'm afraid that I'm not up on the jargon - not sure what

tags, toppers, signage, slide mounts (i'll stop here i'm embarassing myself) are

Is there anywhere that defines this stuff (pictures are even better) I really - really want to do this stuff...This sounds like it would be so fun

Thanks

Rhonda

Hi Rhonda!!! I'm Buffy, kind of the mother hen of the group. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I understand why you would drop scrapping and other things. I'm glad you are getting back into it. If you have any questions please ask, everyone here is so helpful. They love to share ideas and inspiration.
I can't wait to swap with you and get to know you better!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Oh and P.S. you can toss the whole budget thing out the window, these guys are the biggest bunch of enablers I have ever met!!!! Just hand over the wallet and credit cards now, we'll take care of the rest!

 

[TPCShauna]

Welcome Rhonda! You'll find these ladies to be some of the nicest, most supportive that you'll come across on these boards.

Many of us on the swap boards have been around a while so are always available to help. We love to have new people join us and always look forward to getting to know you better.

If you have questions, just ask and someone will jump in to answer.

See you around!

Welcome, Rhonda! Be careful, swapping is very addictive!!

 

[angelmom]

welcome! It's always nice to see a new face over here. And watch out, like everyone else says, the swapping gets addictive!

 

[aroyer]

Hi- just wanted to say ! So sorry for your loss. I am excited that you are coming back to scrapping! I am not a swapper (too scared and don't want to become addicted!!! ), but I hang out here alot- just ask DH. These ladies are F-U-N and so supportive and creative. If you have a question, most likely someone on here will have the answer.

That is not a lie! These fine scrappers enabled me to buy my first Cricut. It's been downhill ever since!

Trust me, I know all about that...

B.C. (before children) I was heavily into rubber stamping. There was a store in Harvard Square called Good Good the Elephant and all it sold was rubber stamps and related paraphanielia...

Once when I was inputting expenses into Quicken, I generated one of those little pie charts of "our" expenditures and the "Rubber Stamp" slice was bigger than the "rent" slice (didn't bother "sharing" that little piece of information with DH and never used Quicken again )
