Hi! My name is Michelle and in digiland I mostly go by michellerv (my middle and last initials are rv). I am a stay at home mom with three children Regan '99, Haley '02, Carter '05. They are my life right now. I'm wife to Troy who farms and I met in college-nearly love at first sight and we are two peas in a pod. In my former life I was a CPA (accountant) and I am much more a numbers linear person than a creative person although with tax strategies I can be quite creative ;-) But, I struggle with the creative part of scrapbooking-I can really make a mess out of a LO and appreciate templates SO much. I use PSE 7.0 and am trying to decide if I should take the CS5 plunge or just upgrade to 8.0...and I've been playing with Camera Raw and Lightroom 3.0beta. I have a Canon Rebel XTi w/go to lens 28-135 and JUST purchased another point and shoot, ELPH 780is. My blood type is B positive...feel like you know me? I hope to get to know you all too. Seems like a fun community.
 
LOL! Michelle about the blood type!!! I am O Neg!!!

It's so wonderful to meet you and have you here at the O!!! If you need some inpsiration for your layouts, get into the gallery....that is what helped me more than anything and still does...also our challenges!! they are always ever so helpful. We also have an Extreme Makeover thread that our Kara does....you can always post your page there, and some of our wonderful members can give you some advice on what they might do to give your page some pizzazz!!! I know you are going to love it here..and just ask away if you have any questions...you won't find a more friendly bunch or helpful ones either!!
 
Welcome, Michelle - great intro - I'm just an ordinary O positive - but hey it goes with being part of the "O"

You'll love it here at our "O" hOme - plenty of challenges too, one includes a template.
You'll get lots of inspiration from the gallery and participating - check them all out!

And to me, there's no such thing as a 'bad' layout - as long as you record your memories!

Also check out the freebie section in the shoppe - there are some templates and great goodies there
Most of all have fun!!
 
Hi Michelle! Welcome!

I, although female, have the male version of your name. Have always envied the Michelles in the world. I am also struggling with upgrading PSE 7 to 8 or to CS5 -- which would cost me an arm and a leg -- and I need the arm for working on the computer in the first place!

You sound like you lead a very happy life! I think mathematicians and scientists are some of the most creative people there are. You have be able to "see outside the box" so often to get to the right answer. Celebrate that strength!

I hope you love your time here. I have! The designers and members are so kind and supportive! They have challenged and inspired me every day!

Wishing all the best!
 
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

I really do look forward to "moving in" and getting to know everyone.

Michael-I love your name. Although I grew up in a town of 2,000, my class of 35 had three Michelle's and one in the class before and after us. So, I felt way too ordinary and at some point started spelling my name like you do but dropped it later because of it being confusing.

I am lucky with the CS5 educational purchase option. They'll take any student id-including either of my elementary school children. That makes it $199...but I'm still not sure.
 
Hello Michelle and welcome!!! my daughter's name is Michelle as well but she only ever gets 'chells! LOL!! Hope you stay awhile and join in on some challenges and just holler if you need any help with anything!! :)
