Hi,

i want to introduce myself, my name is rubi, thats my nickname, my real name is Andrea, I am 39 years old, working parttime as a teacher for oeconomics.

I have two sons, aged nearly 7 and 2 and I love to do craftswork, f.e. painting on silk or knitting. I am also a photographer, mostly my kids, but years ago I used to travel a lot with my husband and I took tons of pictures everywhere we go. People say I have a creative hand.... and I would have the wrong profession

Digital Scrapbooking entered my life throug anoter forum, where other moms and I met and some of them do this and I testet it out .... great thing, I can say..... to present my photos on calenders or in albums...

but my school-english is a little "rusty", its about 20 years I had to talk and to write everyday in this language in school....

hope you can understand me.....

I am living in a little town in the north of "Bayern" in Germany, perhaps you know Nürnberg, its about 130 km from there.

Hope I can learn a lot, I am a really newbie in this!

Greetings!
Andrea (rubi)

Hi and welcome!!

Great to meet you - and your English is fantastic!!! Way better than my German (I think I can remember - from learning it at school - how to ask the way to the station, and that's about it! lol!!)

Looking forward to getting to know you and seeing your layouts in the gallery :)

Hello! I think you did a wonderful job with your English.

I was born in Augsburg...not too far from you. My father was in the Army...and my parents loved their stay in Germany. I keep hoping to return there someday.

I look forward to getting to know you better.
