This is bittersweet for sure!! Angie, there really are no words to describe what I think and feel. 🥰 You have ran this site like a well oiled machine for so many years, AND you have done it cheerfully and seamlessly. You have been so very efficient and made it look effortless, but running a business is no joke. You should "retire" proud of your accomplishments here. I wish you the best of luck as you move forward. 🍀
I found ScrapGirls in 2008, I believe. I knew NOTHING about digital scrapping. I learned everything I know right here at SG. I finally joined the forum. I was VERY leery of any online presence. I was just going to watch and learn and never ever post. (because, wouldn't that be risky? 🤔) Wouldn't you know, within a very short amount of time, I got a DM from Angie. I shared my location as "KC Metro"...and she questioned *where* in the metro. I wasn't certain I wanted ANYone to know my location, ( wasn't KC Metro specific enough??) but long story short, we are both from small (almost) neighboring towns. Who knew you could forge such lasting friendships from an online forum? I have met so many amazing ScrapGirls in real life, memories that will last a lifetime!
I have learned from so many of you here. There are so many talented members and all are so helpful. I will miss this place for certain. This is not goodbye, it's see you later! 🤗
