Have you ever been to Iowa?

 Hey Rica.  I will be going to Paris May 7th to the 15th!  Can't wait.  I am dreaming of Italy in 2011.  But, what does the future hold?  Who know?  But, I can dream.

 I am the middle child of six.  Three brothers and two sisters.  But, recently my baby sister passed away from a brain tumor and 20 days later my middle brother died from liver failure.  It has been hard, but, I go a couple of hours now without thinking about it.  That was just last month.  Now, my oldest sister and I are going to Paris as a memorial to out sweet beautiful baby sister.  She always wanted to go to Europe.

 I started to sb in Nov, 2007 as an effort to extend my London trip.  I bought a new camera for the trip and wanted to scrapbook them.  Little did I know what I was getting into!  It snuck up on me for sure.  I made a sb for me and an almost identical one for my sister for Christmas.

 I have never been to Iowa, but I have distant cousins who live there.  Somewhere.

 Hey Grandma! I was not able to log on and notice your quest for the next level, but I do know a lot about you, don't I! I suggest you learn to put your signature in now. I'm telling everyone your name, OK? ...Bibi, short for Bibiana, which I think is very pretty. Now how did you get ahead of me in these posts when I'm the one that led you here, LOL! I see who the talker is! Congrats on becoming a picker! Now I got to catch up with ya! Thanks for showing me your new ACOT pretties you got today. I know you know how to upload your LO's now, so lets you and I get crackin and get some done.

 I made my very first post on Feb 25, 2009.  I was totally unaware of the board until my friend, Debbie (debamas) showed it to me.  I have been in heaven ever since.  Thanks.

 Please tell me what making rank means? I gather that you need to earn many more points.

 Please tell me what making rank means? I gather that you need to earn many more points.

The ranks are levels obtained as we post on the message board. You begin as a cherry tart...notice under your name. IF you go to the first page of the message board, you will see a section under the general board titled "CHERRY BLOSSOMS"  and it is loaded with info and how to's for us newbies. Here is a link for the one that will show you about the ranks in how many post it takes to reach each one and also how to get your blinkie that shows your rank. It's just kinda fun, but as we make our posts we do get points...and meet everyone too. BTW, welcome to ACOT, feel free to ask questions,there are a lot of more experienced ones that will usually answer. I hope I helped you.

 Hi Koiwey.  Hope you found out something new tonight.  Debbie has a way with words.  She really knows how to express herself with them.  BTW, she is my very BFF here and in real life.  I made Cherry Picker today which means that I have posted at least 500 times!  That is a lot of talking and typing.  Believe me.  But, there are gals here who have posted zillions of times.  Makes me look like a brand new baby just learning to talk.  And I am.  Today, I learned how to get a signature into my post without typing it evertime.  That info is located under Cherry Blossoms that Debbie was telling you about.  The other day I learned how to post a layout (lo) into the gallery.  I was so excited about that!  I hope you have a great time here.
