Hello from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Post by chillycharlie20 »

Hi everyone, my name is Cheryl Leuschen, I am a mother of 2 and grandmother of 3, married for 46 years this coming August, and a retired nurse. I have been scrapbooking pretty much all my life! I started out with the old type of what we called scrapbooks when I was young. You know, the newsprint pages, coil bound, usually had blue covers. I saved cards, receipts, newspaper clippings,pressed flowers, etc. Unfortunately as a young adult I thought what a stupid, childish thing to do and threw all that stuff out during one of my moves. Fast forward through the "magnetic" photo albums (most of which I have re-done) to the scrapbooking process of today. I have many, many photo albums, some are finished, most are in progress! I do not scrap chronologically, I scrap whatever I am motivated by that day. I follow many scrappers on You tube, like Vicki boutin, Tim Holtz, Heidi Swapp, Shimelle Laine, plus a myriad of others that do process videos. And therein, lies my problem, I start in scrapping and end up watching videos, and don't get my own stuff done, time is up and I have to go and do responsible adulting things!! LOL I tend to be on the lazy side for taking photos of my layouts and uploading them though, so I don't know how good I will be for sharing here. I will try harder to be more sharing, that's the best I can do! I came over here from Creative Inspirations, invited by Bev Code. It looks like a fun place to be and I am looking forward to meeting everyone here. I see quite a few of my friends from there are here now too. I met most of them on line quite a few years ago, and then in 2012, we met in real life at a crop in Houston, Texas. There's a story there too! Because I only knew these ladies from being on line, my husband was very nervous about me flying so far away to meet them in real life. At the time, I only had a flip phone and no contract for international calls, however, you could text from there. He asked me to come up with a code word that i could send him if I needed help or felt like I was in danger. I was to send him all the information i could about where i was staying and phone numbers where I could be reached. And he was dead serious about all of this. I did share this with my friends, as after meeting them all, they were the nicest bunch of ladies to be with! I am not totally convinced that he believed me and I am sure he didn't relax until I arrived home safely!

Nice to meet you Cheryl! I'm in Burnaby so it's nice to find another Canuck to greet! I'm the same as you - I scrap whenever the mood strikes and I don't scrapbook chronologically. I'd never get anything done if I did. Sometimes it's hard to scrapbook those old snapshots.
