My real name is Carolyn.

I currently live in the Bay Area, California. I've been gluing pictures ans bits of paper into some sort of nook almost my whole life.

I'm looking for happy, chatty, scrappy people to help me stay motivated to clean up some of the unfinished projects around here and maybe start a lot of new ones.

Look fprward tp getting to know all of you.

Hi Carolyn! You have found your scrappy home!!! The women here are amazing, talent and comfort wise! We talk, we cry, we challenge each other to do better, be better, the monthly challenges hosted by the ladies themselves offer new ways of scrapping outside your comfort zone. Well, at least for me. I have learned so very much since joining here! I hope you jump right in! Welcome!

Hi and welcome! Hope you love it here, I do. There are many reasons to be here: we are nice people, we are interesting people, we are real! Plus ACOT give you a point for each post you do and they can add up fast. The store offers a lot of deals, too. The gallery is the most interesting and easily navigated. I am excited to get to know you. Again, welcome.

Hi Carolyn! Glad to have you with us, but no one is really "new" - just scrappers that haven't met. Post, talk, join in - these gals are all very friendly. The only bad thing is when you post work that you really don't like they won't tell you they don't like it either. :winkb: Feel free to do that to me. I have a friend that says "That's not working for me" and then tells me other ideas. She does it even when I like the page myself. And I appreciate that honest opinion. But I'm also conscious of the fact that it would hurt some. Nope, I like to see other things, and never assume she's right and I'm wrong or vice versa.

WOW - I went off on a tangent there!! Anyway WELCOME!!!

Welcome Carolyn - you have found your new scrappy home here. Everyone is so helpful, talented, talkative and most of all supportive. If a cherry is down the other cherries pick her back up again. I love being here, and I hope you will too.

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome!


I saw all the great challenges and hope to work on them during some of down time this month but as it's a pretty crazy time of year to be starting something new so please excuse me if I only pop in for a little while.

gonecamping: I'll be happy to share some of my work in the gallery here as soon as I take some pictures.

Jnet: I'm spitting distance from the Bay in Santa Clara.

MamaK321 we love Monterey! Stockton is pretty nice too. I hope your move went smoothly.

sherylelm you are so right. I love constructive comments too! Glad to meet you.

I have a million errands to run today. I'll be back later to play

Again Thanks
~Carolyn
