auskimum Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 My real name is Debra, I am originally from New Zealand and moved over to Australia 30 years ago, where I met my husband and we have 5 wonderful children - not that they are children anymore. We have 3 Girls, Amanda (23) Dana (21) and Kelly (14) as well as 2 boys, James (18) and Matthew (16). Amanda has a little boy, Braithen (3), who I adore. My household is a bit crazy, we have 2 dogs, 3 galahs, 12 chickens, 14 budgies, 16 peachfaces, 4 Cockatiels and 6 fish. We are currently foster parents to 2 bulldog puppies (it was 3 but one went to her Furever home today, very sad saying goodbye), they arrived when they were 5 weeks old - very neglected, poor little darlings, they are now 10 weeks old and are thriving. The littlest one, Krickut was 1.7kg (3.7lbs) when she arrived and is now 4.8kgs (10.58lbs). My profile name Auskimum - Aus (Australian) ki (Kiwi - New Zealander) mum (Self explanatory). When I first came to Australia, I called my self an auski because I had an aussie accent in New Zealand and a Kiwi accent here in Australia - sort of stuck in the middle of 2 countries. I am extremely new to digital scrapbooking, I haven't even done a page. But I am enjoying playing and of course purchasing, and I can say that I am addicted. I have been Traditional scrapbooking for 12 years and never ever thought I would be interested in digital. I am really looking forward to learning from you all and participating in the forums. Thanks for reading Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 DEB It is nice to welcome a fellow Aussie and one that lives not that far from me. Thankyou for sharing all that info with us and please with being new, do not be hesitant to ask for any help you may need. I was a cardmaker using rubber stamps ( still do )then got into paper scrapbooking ( hardly do any of that now ) became addicted to digital scrapbooking in 2008 and just love it. Look forward to seeing your layouts as you start on this wonderful journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
