Somehow I missed these. So I'll go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Amanda. I'm 26 years old. I'm in the process of trying to get approved for WLS. I have a feeling that I have a long road ahead of me before I do, but it will be worth it in the long run. I've been scrapping off and on since 1997, when I was a senior in high school. We can blame my grandmother and aunt for my addiction. My grandmother made an album for all 7 of her kids and one for herself for Christmas that year. She started in July...and it went down to the wire on finishing it. I still love looking at the book. There are pictures from several generations back..which is just awesome. I have a 19 month old little boy, Tay. I've got probably less than 30 pages done since he was born. But he is the most photographed child around. My SO's mother bought us a digi camera for Christmas in 2003, and I've been snapping pictures ever since. After my surgery I would love to go to school to take a few photography classes. Since having Tay I've discovered a hidden passion for photography. I guess that about sums it up. I'm pretty boring
