have you met others from this board in REAL LIFE?

Hey there gals!!! I thought it would be fun to post who you have met or who you know from this board!!! how do you know them?
post away!
Hugs

Nope, but I'd sure like to. Some of the gals I've known for a few years now and it seems like we have met in person. One of these days ....

No, but I'd like to one day!!!

Andrea and Joyce{ashjoy}

we met last week for scrapping and again this week...and we have met a few times before and done some scrappy sleepovers

it is so crazy how close we are and met online. i am so lucky to have them in my life, not only do we scrap but we chat and it is nice to have friends to talk to "in person" about schtuff

I know Sherry C. in real life!!! In fact, she's the one who told me about this site!

It's actually ironic how we met. We did not know one another at all, and yet we lived in the same neighborhood, our kids went to the same pre-school, and we both loved scrapbooking. Then, one fateful day, we met at our local scrapbook store! That was a great day... and we've been best scrapping buds ever since! <a href=http

Yep... my online buds, Ellen and Joyce are now two of my awesome real-life buds! They are both ridiculously nice and generous... totally could'nt ask for better friends!

And Tracy, and Sherry... how awesome for you two that you "found" each other and have become great scrappy friends!

I havent

Not yet, but I will in a month!!!!

Yes, as Tracy F. mentioned, we are friends IRL!!!! (Hi Tracy!)
I'm fantasizing that someday FTLOA will host a huge scrap event and I'll get to meet all of you!!!
Just planting the seed... lol

Dont think so!

Any other kiwis on here??? New Zealand is a small place - maybe I have. LOL

Lesley

I know a LOT of these girls & DT girls from other DTs and boards. I am SO excited to have found everyone again but we have never gotten together in real life. Now what's up with that?

They beat me to it, but yup I am very blessed and honored to consider Ellen and Andrea friends.
They are so talented it's hard not just to sit and watch them create when they are here. Ellen is so darn fast, and Andrea is amazing with the cricut! Men may have football buddies, but there is nothing better than scrapping buddies!

I also met another person from the cricut message boards.

Very cool!!!

I have met and am friends with a lot of girls on this board! It's so much fun!!! I love meeting new people!!

I know Norma..It seems like I have know here forever..We met in Beauty School I think..so long ago..and Jen Martakis I met her in high school.I think that is it...But I would love to meet new friends...

I have met Suzy of course and even shopped her store when she had it in her garage.. .hehe

I have met Norma as well a few times.

I have also met Marci... hehe

I may be forgetting a couple but it's been a long day.

I know Ms. Suzy West and I have met Lynda, who I saw bouncing around on the board not too long ago, otherwise everyone is pretty new to me, but y'all are fabulous. I feel like I have known everyone for forever!

Sherry and Tracy that is a crazy story!

We were just talking about ppl from the boards that live around us and it is crazy that the internet is such a big place yet so small, kwim?

I FEEL like I've know some of the ladies here like I met them IRL but I haven't had the pleasure yet! But it's on my to do list one day!

I know Shanna Vineyard- not only because we scrap together but because she is also my husband's ex-wife and I'm the step-mom to her girls <a href=http Kinda funny and we love the looks of when we tell them that we are actually really good friends - even may be considered besties!

I totally give both you and Shanna props on that, Renee... I've always been amazed about your friendship... total blessing and testimony to your all's children that you two are such great friends. Definitely NOT typical in the average blended family!

Seriously??? I've known you for how long and did not even know that!!!! <img src=htt (My new favorite 'face'.

I have met the beautiful Leslie Ashe in person at Memory Trends way back in the day or was it CHA or both?


And I had the chance to meet Suzy at her booth at CHA but she was so busy that I didn't want to interrupt, and then I felt too shy later on! LOL





And I know Adora from online only for years! She's wonderful and so talented!



Who else? I know I'm forgetting someone!!!!

I doooo consider Renee one of my besties! She's my scrapping partner in crime! LOL It is a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE blessing that we get along so well! I had the COMPLETE opposite situation growing up with divorced parents so I've always wanted something better for my kids. The other funny thing Renee didn't mention that always makes people laugh is that her husband (my ex) and my husband Shane are "besties" too. Halo, UFC Fights, coach the girls' soccer teams together, gym partners..... yeah.. sometimes we joke that they see each other more than WE see them! HA HA HA!!!! I'm lucky to have that girl in my life! ♥

She is the only one I've met IRL from this site but I SERIOUSLY hope one day to change that and meet some more of you fabulous ladies! ♥
