Hello from Oklahoma!

[Traci]

Hmmm....I got to thinking that I would join in with the introductions..... though I think I know a lot of you already. :p My name is Traci and I design under the name of Prairie Woman Design here. The Den was my first true home after I left Scrapper's Guide....where I learned how to operate my first Photoshop Elements to do something other than photo editing....that was Version 3, I think. But PET was where I met a LOT of you....

On a personal note....I am recently widowed (in February). I have two c0cker spaniels who let me live here because I know how to use the can opener, how to open the front door, and where the cookies are kept. I am also the only one who can reach the pedals on the truck so we can go for rides. My dad lives with me, too. He is vision impaired, so we kind of look out for each other since I lost my DH and he lost my mom. It is a pretty good arrangement.

AND....I'm SO HAPPY that we're all back home again! And it didn't even take my ruby slippers to get here! Thank you so much, Sandy and Robyn! Y'all are angels in disguise! party5

[robyn]

[Traci]

Thank YOU, Robyn....this place is my sanity!

Athena....Yep, that's me....look fast, you'll likely not see many photos of me. I'm always the one behind the camera....;)

[Marcie]

Hey Traci, I know you, lol. Have you sold any of your things yet? Or are you still packing it up. Last time we talked you mentioned a yard sale.

[Traci]

Naw....I decided a yard sale was too much trouble for too little return! busy1 Too busy making digital stuffies to do a yard sale. Soooo....my kids came from Colorado and we spent two weeks clearing out and rearranging and generally organizing. Then, about around then, my BFF's DS separated from his wife (or I should say, she left him :(). So he was able to use a lot of what I was needing to get rid of.

Then.....I found a great yard guy who came to help me keep up the 5 acres around the house....and his DD needed household stuff...so the rest went to her. WooHoo! I think my sweet Tom is up there somewhere, directing things!

Oh, and we sold the house in TX! WooHoo! Didn't make much, but didn't lose anything but the mortgage payment and the bills. So all is getting better as time goes by..... party2

[Diane]

Welcome, Traci! Looking forward to getting to know you!

[Traci]

Hi, Diane! You'll find I'm a real chatterbox....it won't be long before you'll <probably> know more than you want! :D
