Hi From Sunny Florida!

[thescrapshak]

My name is Lori, aka thescrapshak, many of you inludinding Vicki, Ashalee, Merkeley and Cinczia know me from being former owner of digiscrapshak.com. I have been down past few years with many medical issues, diabetes, heart disease and blind in one eye (at 36 yrs old) was not able to keep store going.. it was the hardest thing I did closing that store.. but # 1 was my daughter Amanda Hisband and my loving pets...3 chihuahuas, 2 parrots and 1 cat tthat "fond" us, which has kept me going! I recently have been cleared of liver cancer.. have a hemoglobin mass on liver, not safe by any means.. but not cancerous and have decided I started scrappin for her & family and I need to continue! I didnt realize how much I missed it until I got back into it a few months back. I love digi and also LOVE hybrid, I cant wait to get know all of you better and look forward to making Oscraps my "digi home" :bounce:! The Birthday Celebration seemed to be perfect to introduce myself again! I commend you Vicki for making through the thick and thin, I "know" how it can be, I wish you nothing but the best in the MANY years to come!
Lori B

Welcome hOme, Lori - and the "O" is a wonderful place to call hOme.
I'm happy our Birthday Celebrations convinced you to introduce yourself - again.

I've found digital scrapbooking to be therapeutic besides making a gift of recorded memories - and glad you found your way back again.
Again a big "O" welcome.....
