My mom told me I should join....

....because you guys are all very kind and supportive. And not just about scrapping, but about everyday life. So, here I am.

I have been married for 13 glorious, blissful years to the most amazing man in the world. I know some people might take exception to this, somehow thinking THEY are married to the most amazing man in the world. We are just gonna have agree to disagree on this point.

I have five wonderful children. Starting at the oldest, I have a 12 year old, an 11 year old (next month), a 9 year old, a 7 year old (next month), and a 5 year old. They are the lights of my life and my reason for just about everything. My reason for living, my reason for breathing, my reason for my momentary lapses into sanity and pre-mature greying.

I love to scrapbook, but as you can imagine I have a very hard time finding the time. I am also -passionate- about photography and would like to open my own studio one day. (I'm programming the website as I type this!) I used to work in Information Technologies for a living, but am happily leaving that career behind to take up being a full time mommy again. If I never see the insides of a computer again, it will be far too soon.

I would tell you who my mother is....but I have completely forgotten her nickname on Sisters of Scrap...but I'm sure you all know her. :-) She's just as crazy as me (family trait), but from what I understand, that will not really be an oddity here. Good thing. Normal people are not to be trusted!

I look forward to getting to know everyone here! I will scrapbook as much as I can...perhaps try to do the weekly challenges...?

Snapps,

PS: Mom, if you do not wish to acknowledge me until AFTER you have determined that I won't embarrass you in front of your friends, I will understand.

ROFLMBO I suspect the five kids would have given me away immediately. Hey everyone, this is my favourite kid... don't tell the rest of my kids I said that though will ya? This is the guilty as sin kid that got me hooked on the scrapping and then left me high and dry. LOL

Hi Snapps! Welcome aboard. This is an awesome place to hang out! I love your mom! Enjoy!

LOL!!

LOL!

I'm proud to be like my mom!! :-) She's awesome!

Welcome Snapps!! Ditto to what everyone else said!!

And did everyone notice that was her final post????

She is NOT like her mom or she would be glued to paper and the SOS forum. Instead she does silly things like houseclean, laundry, cook... all those time wasting, take you away from your scraproom, boring things that are so unnessessary. ( I know I spelled that wrong) Heck she hardly even supplies me with pics anymore. I hope she goes back to work at least when she's working she has more time.
