    Hello there!
    I've been peeking in and out of the forum/gallery this week, and decided I should introduce myself! I scrapped and CT'd for ScrapMatters and several designers a few years back... then they closed, we moved away and back (May/June 2014), my mom got diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer (she passed away Nov. 7, 2015)... but life is settling down now and I have been looking for a place that feels like home again. I'm happy to be here! Thanks for all the kind comments on my LOs! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
    Blessings!

    A huge welcome. Scrap matters was my first scrapping home. You may remember Alamoma? She is my real life beasties. She designed under pressed petals. Anywho. Welcome to the pad. I hope you feel comfy and enjoy.

    Thank you for the warm welcome! Yes... I know Krista and Olivia's mom ;)
    I'm also familiar with Amber LaBau, Bella Gypsy and Forever Joy was there at the end as well. SM was an awesome community and it was so hard to see it go. I'm looking forward to making a new home!

    Yes! I remember you too! I was on Chelle's team... so we might have been on it together - so hard to remember. But I see more and more friends from SM here and I'm so happy to see everyone!

    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

    Hey @KairynLisa ! Yes, I'm Olivia's mom . . . She doesn't scrap anymore. She's twenty and in college. So glad to have you back scrapping, but I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing.

    @bellbird I didn't start at SM. I started at The Digichick and then had a secondary store at SM for a few months before the closed. Just FYI.

    Kairyn!!!! It's so good to see you! I was wondering what happened to you. I'm so sorry about your mom. Pancreatic cancer is just the worst. But I'm glad you're back!
