    Hey everyone! I'm Shasta. Been around the boards before but I haven't scrapbooked in quite a while. I've wanted to come back to it because I miss documenting everything. I had my 2nd daughter towards the end of 2016 (she just turned a year old on 12/19/17) and I would love to scrapbook what's happened in her life so far, as well as scrapbook things from my 4 almost 5 year old. Getting back into the swing of things may take some time for me. I feel like I'm making mediocre pages at best, but there's only one way to go, and that's up!

    I'm excited to do MOC! I feel like this will really help me get better at scrapbooking.

    Welcome back to scrapping! You couldn't have picked a better time to jump back in! MOC has a wonderful way of hooking you into scrapping regularly and I love that the challenges give you somewhere to start each day! I bet you have so many awesome pictures and memories to scrap with your little ones too! :)

    Thanks! My mom actually named me after Mount Shasta in California. She used to live there when she was pregnant with me and loved the area. I was actually supposed to be a Shawn (she thought she was having a boy) so when they told her "it's a girl!" she said Shasta just popped into her head.

    Welcome Shasta! I know for me, MOC really pushes my skills so I get better since I'm practicing every day. But regardless of how you feel your pages are or are not (I don't think they are mediocre at all!) think of the happy memories you have preserved for your kids! I think it's awesome that you are coming back to scrapping. And I love how you got your name!

    Hi Shasta! Nice to meet you. I’ve looked at your gallery and I think your pages are beautiful ♥️. You should see my very first layout LOL. Not so cute

    Are you planning to join MOC this year? I was on scrapping hiatus & I think MOC would be great to kickstart scrapping again. Hope you join us!

    Welcome back Shasta! I hope MOC will be just the mojo boost you need to stay with the scrapping. Congrats on the new addition to your family. My baby is almost 12 and I really need to go back and do some of her younger pix. She does have a first year book all her own, but wants more like my older 2 kids have. I may never be caught up, but I'm going to enjoy trying. take care and keepscrappin!
