Country Greetings from North Dakota

 Greetings from North Dakota!

I came across this site and looks awesome!  I have been married for 26 years and hubby and I have 4 sons, 21,22,24,25. Very busy family farm operation we live on with around 6,500 acres of crops in summer and then 6,000-8,000 head feedlot operation year round. I help out in the summer working on the farm out in my John Deere tractor in the field or whatever else comes along as well.

I have done paper scrapbookin since 2000 and have wanted to try digi scrappin for the past 5 years. I have tons of software programs and just need to take time to learn and work with them as well as free kits here and there from sites online. Crazy for all I have and just cant seem to get it. Guess Im soo use to paper scrappin that it is harder for me to make that switch over to try. But I wont give up and Ill just keep trying.

I have PSE 5.0 as well as Adobe Paint Shop 8.0 but havent had time to work with them. ufff

Anyways, looks like a fun site to be on here as well as a great group of gals to get to know throughtout the states.

Im tryin to figure out how to get my picture on here and havnt come across that place yet where to go and get that done.

Later,
Dona

Welcome Dona! You missed a great online, around the clock crop this weekend. Stick around--there's going to be another one in August. There is really some very beautiful work that is produced by the ladies on this site.

Where about is your family this way? I just ordered a digi small kit and it downloaded so now to try and figure out what on earth to do with this. But is just a mini album so looks rather simple I guess Ill find out here soon.
Thanks and look forward to meeting ya all and getting to see all your work as well.

I'm in Fessenden.  It's pretty much right in the center of the state, so if I want to go shopping I have to at least travel 100 miles.  I do have a daughter in Fargo so I go there often.  I've never been to Northwood, but I heard of it.  I think there was a group of people from our church that went there to help when you guys had the bad weather.  Was it tornados?  Sorry, I can't remember!  It's too early in the morning! :)

I love scrapbooking!!  I finally have my very own room and I spend alot of time searching for new ideas and getting some work done.  Right now, I've been working pretty steady on my Niece's scrapbook and things for her Graduation.  I'm decorating for her Open House. So fun! 

Have a great day!
