This is the area we would like to have you post where you are from and any general information you would like others to know about yourself.

I will start by introducing myself. I am married and we live in Minnesota. My husband works for San Francisco fire so we see each other about 10 days a month. It is the perfect marriage. We each have two children from previous marriages, a boy and girl for each of us. Both of my children are married with children which are the light of my life....(five grand daughters). My husband's son will be getting married in July and his daughter is still in college. I have been using die cutting machines for five years and have been thru them all. I sold KNK, Pazzles and now Black Cat and I am sure you are all well aware of where my loyalty lies.

Hi everyone! This is so unlike me to do this, but I thought I would anyways. :-)
I'm Tyler - some of you may know me from All That Jazz Supplies or the MTC forum! I currently live in Connecticut where I am attending Dental School.

I use the Black Cat Cougar and Black Cat lynx - best cutters out there! I started off with a passion for vinyl. Now, with these cutters, that passion has morphed into a new branch of creativity and cutting materials. I am excited to have this fun forum and hope to be able to help out where I can!

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm Diane, I live in the beautiful state of Colorado, at the base of Pikes Peak. I don't have any kids, unless you count my furballs, (2 cats named Laptop and Tigger) I work for the US Postal Service, and am getting close to being eligible to retire... and looking forward to the day I can. I have a 24 inch Cougar, and don't get to spend as much time as I would like playing with it. But I do try to cut something at least 2 or 3 times a week.. just so it doesn't feel neglected. LOL

Thanks for inviting me to join.. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning all I can about my machine.

Well, that's weird. I filled this out earlier, and it isn't here now. Hmmmm. Well, shorter version now, LOL. I grew up in Atlanta, live in Dayton, Ohio now. 3 kids, 27,24,20. Oldest is getting married in June. I have physical limitations, so crafting saves my sanity. (I really said at all much nicer earlier, but seems so redundent to me now, LOL!)

Hi I'm Elizabeth. I live in the woods of Southern New Hampshire with my husband (almost 26 years), and DDs ages 16 and 14. When I'm not at work, I love to be home crafting. Besides papercrafting, I love to dye and spin wool, and knit the results. Wow, that is probably more than you need to know about me!

Hi All,

I'm with Tyler, I usually don't do this. But what the heck.

I live in North Central Idaho with my wonderful husband of 28 years. We have lived here for only 5 years. We are originally from Southern California. We are retired. No children. No animals. Lots and lots of nieces and nephews we get to spoil and have spoiled.

I have been papercrafting for about 15 years. I also enjoy riding my bike (the pedal kind). I plan on riding the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene in July. It goes from the Washington/Idaho border to the Idaho/Montana border, so I am in training for that. Generally I just plain enjoy life--hence the name HappyCrafter.

Beanie you are too funny!

*waves* I am Laura, but most call me Birdy. I am married to an awesome guy who I'm happy to say spoils me rotten. We live in the Atlanta Georgia area, though I'm originally from central Illinois, and my hubby is from upstate New York. I am a stay at home mom to 3 (mostly) awesome parasites. Tyler is almost 21 and is leaving for bootcamp tomorrow (no tears, I'm gonna be strong), Trey is 14 and is my athletic/always moving son, and Tori just turned 4. We call her "redneck diva". We are breeders of exotic parrots, though we are on a hiatus for a bit so we can spend some time enjoying our family while we're all still under one roof. We also are aquarium hobbyists and have 2 salt water reef tanks currently.

I love to create, but rarely can put 2 thoughts together, so I tend to putter more than produce anything substantial. I love trying new mediums/techniques and files, so if you need a guinea pig, I'm your girl. I look forward to getting to know all of you fabulous people, and sharing fun times along our journey.

If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong.
Birdy
