Hi, I'm new here

Hi everyone! I'm new here so I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.

I'm a high school history teacher and I've been scrapbooking since 1997 when I got my cat. LOL! She's still around and is my scrapping buddy when my four year old son isn't trying to help. I have just the one child, I'm married and we live near Los Angeles. I'm nuts about hockey and my boy is learning how to play and skate now (and loving it) so I'm sure there will be a lot of hockey LOs in my future. I like both traditional and digital scrapbooking but I'm not a huge hybrid fan (and I really don't know why - there's some stunning stuff out there). I'm also starting to dabble in digital design. Once I figure out how to post a LO, I'll add one but for now, I have some of my more recent LOs on my blog - http://creative-castangs.blogspot.com/ - and there's also some buttons I made on there.

Hoping to learn some more stuff here (I'm also active on another MB and the ladies there were often commenting about the great stuff they get from ACOT so I thought I'd check it out!

Anyway, you joined just in time for our big crop next month for NSD! Hope to see you around the boards and can't wait to see what you've created!

Welcome. This is my favorite place to be. Everyone is so helpful here and the scrappy stuff is awesome. The other greatest thing about ACOT, is how fast they ship. It is amazing. I love it here so much, I have to drop in everyday to see what is happening. I hope you like it here as much as I do.
