Kim, thanks for the tips!

Heather, I am new also. Welcome. I had my surgery 2 years ago and love it love it. The first couple of months is tough but hang in there it get easier as time goes on. You will not belive yourself in 3, 6, 12, 18 months and so on. Take tons of pictures. That is the one thing that I did not want. I guess I was afraid of failure and did not the pictures to remind me of one more "diet" that did not work. So take tons from every dirction, in bathing suits, close up and full length. You will cherish those pictures. They will document your progress and show you how far you have come. When I feel sorry for myself or want to eat everything in sight I take out my few pictures I have of me at my largest and look at them. Bam..I'm back in control. I love to scrap - I started it after my sugery as I had time on my hands then. Good luck April 13, I will be thinking of you! Monica

Here is the web site address of the store i use, which is my best friends moms store. www.scrapbookalleystore.com If you are just getting started.. a good idea is to go to your local, barnes and nobels or borders book store where you can look at magazines. there are many scrapbook magazines,, such as memory makers, home and garden have one, just sit and look at other peoples idears. Stores such as Wal-mart have scrapbook sections and remember use acid free products it will say it on there labels and do not use magnetic photo albums or books..... they fade your photos.... --KIM-- [email protected]

Someone found more stickers and embellishments. Check back to get the info. Take Care.

I am new to the WLS Group. I would have never thought that there would be a board on Scrapbooking here! I have been scrapping for about 8 years! I can't wait to scrap my journey! I am scheduled to have my surgery on April 13th. Heather
