Hi! I'm Lori and I'm addicted to scrapbooking. Well…..to be more specific, I'm addicted to scrapbooking supplies. There is just something about all those pretty papers and the coordinating embellishments……I just LOVE them! I've always been a picture freak and when my cousin suggested a few years ago that I get into scrapping, I just KNEW it was the hobby for me.

Unfortunately, I tend to collect supplies and talk about scrapping more than I actually DO it, but I'm really trying to get better about that. I like to make cards too……although, I remember saying when I first started scrappin', that I would NEVER make cards. As a matter of fact, I've tried quite a few things I said I'd never do……..even started stamping a bit here and there. I guess I owe all that "trying new things" stuff to the girls of ScrapStreet. Either they dare me to try something new, or they create something so beautiful that it makes me wanna try it too. Of course, Digi is still WAY over my head and I wouldn't have a clue where to even begin trying that. I'm not saying "never"……learned my lesson on that word……..but right now I'm content to fondle my papers and other "real" supplies.

Since I'm being honest about my addictions here, I should say that ScrapStreet is my biggest one! I joined in September of 2005 and now I couldn't even imagine not getting my daily dose of fun, giggles, inspiration, and "chat" time. I feel very lucky to be a part of such a great place.

I'm a transplanted yankee…….lived in Michigan 'til I was 13 and then moved to Alabama. I married my high school sweetheart 2 weeks after I graduated and here we are, 2 kids and nearly 20 years later. My son is 11 and my daughter is 14 and they both run when they see the camera, roll their eyes when I show them my pages, and cringe at the sight of a scrapbook store. But I know that one day they will appreciate the fact that so many of their childhood memories have been preserved and they will be able to see the love that I poured into each and every page.
