2 LO'S FOR LOAD221 + I FINALLY FOUND IT...

...THE PERFECT COMMUNITY FOR ME

ScrapSmarter Event was AMAZING

Scraphappy is the community I am talking about. I was desperately searching for, after I returned to scrapbooking & SCRAP-MIXING a long time ago. Nothing really fit my needs after 2PEAS.com had shut his doors. Finally I found this community I can truly connect with. Where I feel I can be myself, where I get challenged and be heard/seen. Where everyone, no matter what kind of a scrapbooker you are or how experienced you are or a beginner, you are welcomed with open arms. That was exactly what I needed.

It's incredible how warm the hostess Alice Boll is and how comfortable she makes us feel with her laughter. She's just the sweetest and all the community members are so talented and kind. It almost feels like coming HOME to a place where they get me + my passion for creating. Halleluja!!! Thank you Alice

Especially in this time of lockdown and Isolation. After all the hospital visits due to having Corona myself + the long time (6 months I guess) it takes for me to still recover from it. This has saved me. Winning the LOAD (LayOut A Day) challenge, gave me a reason to create. Creating = Healing to me. I am forever grateful to all of you.
