Well, here goes. This is my first attempt to EVER scrapbook. I wanted to do something special for my daughter's high school graduation album. A friend of mine is the first one to mention the word scrapbooking. What's that, I said. Then I was on the computer searching everything and your site took my breath away. The pictures in the gallery were mesmerizing! Yesterday, I just got Picture It. I'm so excited about this! I get so many ideas from looking at pictures, that it's overwhelming at times. Now, I'm hearing from my kids and hubby, 'Mom, get off the computer!" No way!! I can't wait to explore the tutorial section, it's a great feeling of support knowing you all are out there. So, here goes!!

WHOO HOO! Welcome to SBB! I'm so glad you found us. I'm sure you'll find scrapbooking as rewarding as we do. A lot of people here use Picture It, so there should be plenty of help if a question pops up. What a great time to pick up the craft. I'm looking forward to seeing some LOs of your daughter's graduation. Again, welcome!

Thank you for the welcome. I realized I didn't put anything in there about me. I'm a stay-at-home Mom, with 2 wonderful teenagers and a hard-working husband.

I did a layout today! I've got a couple of questions I hope you can answer. This may sound dumb...how do I get into my mailbox here to see replies and how do I send a message? I went back to my e-mail account and accessed that way. Is that the way to do it? How do I send you a LO to look at? I'm more than a newbie, I'm a newborn! Have to get taught everything!! Seriously, I'm pretty adept at figuring things out, but this one stumps me. The way I login is to hit 'Forum', then fill out name and p***word. Is there another way?

My son just walked by, 'Of course, MOM, where else would you be but at the COMPUTER!" Ha,ha, I'm glued to the seat!!

Thank you for all your help. Reallymeanit. Pat
