As this group gets started, I'd love to meet you all! So, please introduce yourselves as you join!!

Well, I guess I should go first and get this party started! Welcome to all our new members!! I don't know what I can say about myself that you probably haven't already read in my profile but I'll give it a try.

Today is the first day of school!!! YIPPEE!! 2 have already gone and 1 to go...we'll be leaving here in about half an hour!! I'd like to say that I'll have a nice quiet morning but as it stands I have a very busy day ahead of me!

The Walworth County Fair was this past week and ended last night. I have to be honest...I'm a fair-o-holic. I LOVE the fair!! I was talking to a friend yesterday and he said that I'm just a people person and I'm happiest when I'm around lots of people...this is true! I can't seem to go 10 feet without seeing someone else I know and stop to talk. The other night it literally took me 3 1/2 hours to leave!! I just love the fair though...the food is always fantastic!! Corn on the cob, cheese steak sandwiches, the AWESOME cinnamon rolls and the to die for eclairs!! I'm careful to only have 1 of the desserts over the whole 6 days. The funnel cakes though...that is another story...you can only get funnel cakes at the fair...so that is my one splurge. I had 3 over the course of the fair!!! Love it!!

But, the fair is over now...and I'll have my time of sadness, I love wandering through all the buildings looking at the projects from the 4-H kids. These kids are so amazing! Their ideas and their talent is fabulous! There is lots of scrapbooking and rubberstamping and photography projects and they are all superb.

I also love seeing all the animals. This year we had the Clydesdales and they were magnificent! Such beautiful horses.

Okay...there you go. I got things started!! Your turn!! Who's next?

Hi Monroe!!

Thanks for sharing about yourself! I worked an alternate rock music festival this summer called Hedgepeth. You can see what it was here:

It was LOUD! But, it was a lot of fun. Of course, when you are backstage everything is LOUD!! We had a great weekend.

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your little guy! I have 3 boys and they are so much fun!! You'll love it!!

Hi, My name is Cheryl, and I am Kennedy's Grandma! I live in Priest Lake, Idaho, which is way up north about 30 miles (as the crow flies) from the Canadian border. I've been rubber stamping and scrapbooking for about 5 years now, and cannot get enough of it. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner; I won't live long enough to do everything I want to do! haha Enjoy the newsletter and look forward to spending time with everyone on MySpace. BTW, I was the 13th member. Is there any significance to that?!

Hi Cheryl!

Please forgive the delay in replying to your post! The SSR computer died right after launching the November issue and it appears that my laptop is also on the blink. So, I've been computerless for the past 3 weeks!!

Welcome to SSR's myspace group! Its nice to meet you!

Hi Sandra Lee,

Welcome!! I separated from my husband this year and my divorce was final last month after 16 1/2 years of marriage. Its really hard and I know a little of what you are feeling. Let's hope 2007 is a better year for all of us.

Hugs,


Dawn

Hello I'm Dianna. I live near Boise Idaho and was born and raised in Idaho. I'm new to stamping but have been scrapping for several years now. I have four grown kids and 20 grandkids so lots of people to scrap. I'm also a wholesale rep for several scrapbook companies. My hobbies besides paper crafts are reading and researching scrapbooking etc. on the computer. I collect scrapping stuff !! don't we all. Hee Hee.
