Ok girls! I was looking at some profiles that are in dire need of updates. Remember that profile will help you to remember where you were, what you were thinking, your state of mind... As scrapbookers I know that these memories and thoughts will be great fodder for your WLS scrapbook. If you would like a snappy page you do not have to be good with computers as OH has the HTML Help team. Wowsers there are some talented people. Just email them at [email protected] Here is a FAQ on photos: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/photofaq.phtml http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/photos.phtml For those of you that don't have your date of surgery & such when we look at your posts... you can add that in your personal account center. From the main page on OH... under peer support & interaction (on the left hand side) click on "update your profile". Under general info you can update things like your journal, pre/post op, BMI. In the second column is a heading titled "I've got a date" this is where you enter your surgery date & what type of surgery. You can also add your angel info. I am a profile addict. I love reading your stories... the good, the bad... I want to read it. I also love seeing how people decide to beautify it! Love to read your story, Tonya

Welcome Harriet! It can be expensive. Personally, I find it cheaper to print my pictures at Sams Club. I don't know if you have aWal Mart in your area but the digital prints are only 12 cents or so... After you take into consideration ink & paper...UGH. They will probably last longer than the home printed ones anyway. Check out some of our consultants for various companies. Maybe they can hook you up with someone local to scrap with... being a hostess you can get some product for free. Many long-term consultants hold crops where they have a rotating hostess. Usually you agree to attend or at least spend $20 a month and in turn one month you get to play hostess and get the freebies. The girls are listed on the links page of the yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ohscrapbookers/ Anyway, it is definitely a fun & rewarding experience. I have been scrapping for 8-9 years now... started with making cards and stamping... moved on to scrapping. Happy scrapping, Tonya

Hi Melissa! Ahhh.. EBAY is the devil... it causes me to spend WAYYYY too much money Must curb the shopping addiction I love the CTMH & Stampin Up & CM stuff... oh heck who am I kidding I love it all... Unfortunately my hands don't allow me to keep up on my scrapping too much so these swaps should start helping me out You should be very proud of your weight loss... my scale is not working. I think I burned out the battery... I am such a scale ho. Today I bought....... a pair of Levis... in a size.... 14 petite. I am so happy... I know I still have a ways to go... but I am very pleased with my progress so far. Tonya

I am not in CT but I love to Scrapbook. We would love to hear some of your ideas. Hugs Melissa

Thanks Melissa, Here are some of the titles I have for fathers: Fathers ? A man's home is his castle ? Man cannot live on sports alone! ? The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. ? The way to a dad's heart is with the batting of eyelashes. ? Because I'm the dad, that's why! ? You wait until your father gets home! ? A great wife, kids and health, are a man's greatest wealth. ? HIS WIFE = his bride & joy! ? Dear old dad... ? Like father, like son! And some parenting ones: Parenting ? We've entered a changing world. ? Quit looking at me with that tone of face! ? A source of joy from beginning to end, you are our children, but also our friends. ? You can search treasure maps, and oceans so deep, my child is my diamond, forever I'll keep. ? What part of NO don't you understand? ? Parents together, a team forever. ? My child nothing could replace, the loving smile upon your face. ? One thing now we know is true, nothing's better than being parents to you. ? Our dreams came true... when we became parents to you. ? Child of God, child of mine. I have tons more... I think I posted them in the files section of the yahoo group. I have lots of quotes to.... and many Becky Higgins sketches if you want them I would be happy to email them to you. They are all in MS Word. Let me know. I am not a creative person but I copy real well Tonya
