New here - hi!

Hello everyone! I've been on the Lap band board for about a year now - just had a brainstorm to come here and say hi. Besides my new band and kids, scrapping is my life. I started about 6 or 7 years agoand just LOVE it. I haven't done a whole lot of my own stuff - only about 5 ablums because I seem to always be making things for someone else or doing swaps. What do you love about scrapbooking? Can't wait to meet you all! Dawn 384/325.5/under 200 lap banded on 2/17/06

HI Dawn! I'm Patti... I am a military wife currently in Alaska. I have been scrapbooking for a little over 7 years. I love it. It is my creative outlet. It relaxes me. I haven't been doing as much lately as I would like to. My house has been a disaster since I went in for surgery and have been recuperating.... I feel guilty scrapping when there is so much to do around the house. I should do it anyway because it makes ME feel good. I had surgery Mar. 20, 2006. I am still a newbie and not settled in to the eating and stuff yet.... still on pureed. BLECK! Hope to see you on here. There are so many scrappers out there.... this board should be hopping! LOL Patti

Hi, I am a scrapper too I love scrapbooking. I just had surgery on 2/20/06. I havent scrapped for a while but you better believe while I am recouperating (3 to 6 months - hernia repair at the same time as WLS), I am going to be scrapping. Currently, I am going to be working on an All About Me book that I have wanted to do for a long time. I will also be documenting my progress with the WLS. Denise

I'm Judy and I'm one year post-op. I have scrapped my entire journey from before WLS to present day. I saved everything from the hospital and everything since. Ask me anything and good luck in your journey!! Judy
