[chloesue12]

hello everyone! My name is Kathy and I need to find some comfort! so here I am!!! Its been a long last 2 years. I lost my sister Gail last year of cancer, She had lung cancer, she went in 4 months time. She suffered, she was my best friend. After she died We found out our mom had cancer, she lasted 7 months, she died a month ago. My best friend, Crystal got me back into scrapbooking to try and get my mind off things, she has been great.I've been married for 15 years to Vince I have 4 kids,One stepdaughter Sarah from a previous marriage, and Nikki, Amanda and Shawn all grown up. I have 3 stepgrand kids I don't get to see them as often as I like too. But i'm going to change that. I do have 2 adorable grandsons. I have been scrapbooking them. One is 2years old (Braxton) and one is 4 months old (Lane) I love them so much. Im asking you my scrapbook friends to bare with me, and help me, make me laugh, I am looking forward to meeting new people! and if anyone needs anything I am here for you too! I have a lot of layouts to download that i would love to share with all of you but for some reason, my laptop isn't working right so as soon as i can I will post some. also can't wait to see all of yours. Thank you for listening! kathy

Welcome, welcome Kathy!
How wonderful that you get to sit across a table from our Crystal, I am jealous!

You have had so much to deal with so quickly, I can't imagine. I am so sorry you had to go through all this loss.

I have 5 grand children as well! with a six on the way. They are all my step children's children but, as you know, you aren't really a step-grandma!

So glad you are here.
