I haven't been actively designing for some time after some serious family issues. Things are much better now, but I just haven't been able to find my way back into scrapbooking and designing. In my heart I still feel like I am a digital scrapbook designer and I have felt like I could come back when I was ready. But every time I tried, it felt like I was starting from scratch. I do have a lot of product I could bring somewhere else, but if I'm honest with myself, it probably won't happen. I wish you all the best of luck and happiness in the future.

I regret that it is news like this that has brought me back to the message board. I feel like I have dropped off the face of the earth after life threw me a curveball a few years ago, and I stopped designing. But I do see many familiar faces on this thread! ScrapGirls has been a major part of my life, helping me grow in my creativity in so many ways. I joined in 2007, participated as a member and later became part of the creative team. I loved creating pages for designers so much, that I got the itch to become a designer myself. My first design submission was just awful, but Ro saw potential in me and coached me herself. She guided me from start to finish in my first collection which was released in 2011. I've loved participating in and leading various challenges, especially the faith challenge we used to do and the ATC challenges. Working with Angie has been a joy. I know the loss of ScrapGirls will leave a big hole in our lives.

I'm reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January. It's so good!

I just started reading The Clockmakers Daughter by Kate Morton. So far so good!
