Arkie Noob!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Hi everyone!

I'm Jessica and I've been what my husband calls "real scrapping" since i was 13. I started digi-scrapping about a year ago. I'm 24 now. My mom and dad got me PS Elements for Christmas last year, and I have just FALLEN in love with it.

I live in Arkansas, and am totally interested in learning more and more about digi-scrapping.

Thanks so much for letting me join!!

Welcome Welcome Jessica from Arkansas; we are thrilled to have you. Any information on the Clinton's?:)

Umm, just that Bill has a library here in Little Rock. They were "from" Hope, Arkansas (Po-dunk, Arkansas). And he has a thing about interns. Other than that, not much. I was too young when he was Governor to really know much about his policies and tactics at that time. By the time he ended his reign as governor, I was only 9 haha!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome!

I have been totally blown away by how sweet everyone is! I'm so glad to have found you guys!

PS. You're tips totally rock!!

[Jenny McDonald]

Welcome Jessica!

[Kim Hansen]

You're cute Jessica--I like your "interns" comment. :) I'm glad that you were only 9--her name was Jessica wasn't it?

Now, you know I'm teasing you :) I never know what I can say and not say here on this post and how people are going to take it. TOTALLY TEASE!!!

[rizkid22]

Any information on the Clinton's?:)

Haha, You crack me up Kim!:cantBreathe:

Welcome to the forum Jessica!

[rizkid22]

Umm..Where did you get the name Arkie Noob?

[tpowers]

Welcome Jessica. You will love it here.

[lanz]

Welcome Jessica, I agree with everyone else that you will love it here and have a hard time pulling yourself away from your computer like the rest of us.

[Jessica.Hinz]

Umm..Where did you get the name Arkie Noob?

Haha, it's really something I just thought of off the top of my head.

Arkie - because I'm from Arkansas

Noob - because I'm still new to digi-scrapbooking and really new to photoshop.

Haha! It's basically a play on my novice-ness.

Are you talking about the intern? It was Monica, I believe.

Welcome Jessica! Ask lots of questions so they won't get bored with mine!:D

[brookiewookie]

Welcome to you, Jessica!! :) This is a great place for info and friends. :)

[Jessica.Hinz]

Am I the only Arkie on here? Is everyone else, pretty much from Utah?

Just wondering! :) You guys will be my "far away friends"! haha!

[April]

There are a lot of Utah girls here because DSM has done most of it's advertising here.

Lynette and Jessica, I have you both beat. I started scrapbooking at 10 :)

Welcome to the board Jessica! Great to have you!!

[Kim Hansen]

Oh My Goodness Megan--it was Monica-- what was I thinking? I'm 44 and losing it! So Sorry Jessica.

[supermombritt]

Welcome to the forum. Everyone is so nice and it will be fun to be your "faraway" friends.

[Kelli West]

Yeha, most are from Utah, but there are others out there! :)

[Shellie]

Welcome Jessica, I agree with everyone else that you will love it here and have a hard time pulling yourself away from your computer like the rest of us.

Pffffttt.... I can leave. Honest! I can!

Welcome Jessica!

[Jessica.Hinz]

You guys have got to understand how i feel.

I kept checking the forum ALL day! Even while I was at work!

I love it! The only problem is I won't be at a computer tomorrow! EEK!!

Guess I'll have a lot to reply to tomorrow night!

[Alyson]

Jessica, I'm in the same boat. I check my e-mail and then the forums as soon as I get home, and I check it multiple other times throughout the day as well. It's addicting, but so much fun!!

[Shellie]

I have you all beat. I've been a member here all of what? 4 days? And I'm addicted. You girls are addicting. :)

[caulensmom]

Lynette and Jessica, I have you both beat. I started scrapbooking at 10 :)




OH SNAP!!!:cantBreathe::cantBreathe:

[chryslergreen]

OH SNAP!!!:cantBreathe::cantBreathe:

I know, right? I would try another comeback, but let's face it... she has her own scrapbooking COMPANY. I can't compete with that!:p

[A-to-Z]

Welcome welcome!

[Alishaw]

Kim, there was Jennifer Flowers too (Jennifer-Jessica pretty close!)

Welcome Jessica! You seriously will need help pulling yourself away from here. Some of us have to impose limits and moratoreums so we get dinners made, laundry done or showers! ;) You'll love it!

[Shellie]

I should probably start doing that. :p

[Kim Hansen]

Thanks Alisha about Jessica, Jennifer-- MONIC-A JESSIC-A I knew something WAS close:)

[montmeag]

Oh, I forgot about her.

[Jessica.Hinz]

You guys are halarious!

I'm just waiting for the sex scandal for hilary!! Could be the thing she needs to actually get elected! I'm a Huckabee fan - but i'm biased, he was an Arkie Governor too haha!

[Alishaw]

Bill won't even sleep with Hilary, do you think anyone else will?

[Shellie]

I bet someone has just to start a scandal someday. hehehe

[Kelli West]

I bet someone has just to start a scandal someday. hehehe

SO TRUE!!

[supermombritt]

The addiction wears of, but only a little bit. Instead of checkign the forum 2000 times a day, I only check it 1989 times. It can be so hard to get anything done once I start checking here.

[Jenny McDonald]

I agree. I was going to read my book but decided to hop on here and I'm not reading!

[chryslergreen]

Bill won't even sleep with Hilary, do you think anyone else will?

:cantBreathe: Good one!

[Kim Hansen]

Bill won't even sleep with Hilary, do you think anyone else will?
I'm laughing too Alisha--good one!

[Alyson]

Bill won't even sleep with Hilary, do you think anyone else will?

LOL!! I'm suprised Bill has any luck in that area. :cantBreathe:

[Jenny McDonald]

i wouldn't sleep with either of them! They are both very wrinkly. GROSS!

[Shellie]

Is there something wrong with wrinkles? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/Shellie2004/smilies/pokestick.gif

[Alyson]

Shellie, I love all your different smilies!!

[Shellie]

Thanks. I have about 15 pages of them in a photobucket account. I'm admin at another site and got a bunch for that site from a friend who has 30 plus pages of smilies.

[Kelli West]

nice!! gotta love the smilies

[Jenny McDonald]

i just have visual pictures and I don't want to gross anyone else out with my pictures of Hilary and Bill. Just use your imagination!

[Kelli West]

Jenny, you crack me up!

[Jessica.Hinz]

[Kim Hansen]

Jessica--did you do that? I kind of like it. It helped both Bill and Hillary's looks:) Hilabill or Billary? Which one?

[Jessica.Hinz]

Hubby actually pointed it out to me - just go to google images and search for Hill-Billy haha

[Alyson]

LOL!! That's Hil-arious!!

[Kelli West]

Jessica, that is crazy fun!! Lol...it is what hillary really looks like!! Hehehe...

[Kim Hansen]

LOL!! That's Hil-arious!!

Alyson, you're pretty good with puns:)

[Alyson]

That one came easy. I knew a girl named Hillary Arias, and everyone called her Hill...so her name was Hill Arias.

[Kelli West]

wow, that is funny!! hehe...

[Kim Hansen]

I wish I could be that witty!

[Alyson]

Kim, you are witty!! And always so nice and supportive! :ILoveIt:

[Kelli West]

Kim, you are witty!! And always so nice and supportive! :ILoveIt:

I so agree with Alyson! We all love you Kim, you are always so sweet!!!

[JoDee:)]

Hi Jessica!! Welcome!! I'm new to the forum too. :) I like your avatar...I like "J"

[Jessica.Hinz]

I am in the process of making a new avatar - just been trying to keep my time at the computer to a minimum. I've quit smoking, so I wind up wanting to smoke when I have extended time at the computer - haha!

Anyways! Thanks! and Welcome!!

[April]

So when you are on the computer a long time we need to kick you off? I just read the news about your pregnancy. That is so cool.

[Alyson]

Jessica, I like you new avatar!

[ninna01]

Hi Jessica.....I'm new here too..............But, I'm from cincinnati. I guess that's pretty far away from all you girls. So, does this mean we will never meet?

[ninna01]

By the way......congratulations on quitting smoking!!!

[Jenny McDonald]

One day we'll meet. When we're all millionaires.

[Kelli West]

yes, when there is money to throw around!

[Jessica.Hinz]

Reply - I might not have money to throw around for a while! haha! The Quitting smoking has gone GREAT!!! and the pregnancy - it's been a breeze!! (Knock on wood) I haven't had any morning sickness, just been a little teary - hormones... haha

We will all meet - I'm dang determined. haha!
