Hello from sunny Labrador, Canada

[arttrails]

Hi ..my name is Joanne, and I wanted to stop in and say what a wonderful job you are doing in setting up and running this site..I am not a person of many words to begin with..very shy actually..but once I get started..I talk to much..
I first found out about scrap orchard from pineapple plantations blog spot..before you first started..
all I can is wow girls..you are doing a great job..of putting scrap orchard on the map..of the digital scrapbooking world..your working really hard and
you deserve the greatest of praise, so far what I see is a fun, loving a wonderful community..I love the humor..and wish you all the success..in the world..! I have some challenges in life..cant spell worth beans..smiles...but I think this is going to be an inclusive community..that will allow all people from all walks of life..those who are physically and mentally challenged the opportunity to participate and community inclusion...keep up the good work..

Welcome to the Orchard! We are so glad you're here, and that you feel comfortable here at the Orchard. That's definitely the kind of atmosphere we want to have. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! :)

Don't worry about the spelling - I can spell ok but my keyboard tends to change the arrangement from time to time and I end up with a few typos myself.

Glad you found us and chose come join the fun. As for the spelling, I'm glad to hear that Kathy's keyboard changes things around as well, I thought it was just mine.......

Hello! Don't worry about the spelling.. most times (when I am writing in the blog or starting a thread) I have to run my text through spell checker.. luckily, with Firefox and Google.. I have an in browser spell checker that highlights any words that don't look right and gives me substitutions..!

Welcome to The Orchard and I hope you enjoy your time here!! :wavehi:

Hi and welcome Joanne! I'm a fellow Canuk too, only I am in Alberta. I tend to make many many typos...usually it means it's time to cut my nails lol, although it may be the keyboard now that you're all mentioning it heehee! ;) Glad you're here!

so nice to meet you ..too...I popped over and visited your blog..congratulations..on a new baby on the way..and wow..that ultrasound picture is priceless...how wonderful is that..to be able to see the babies face so good...nice to meet you..

[jaye]

Ok ladies I think we have them surrounded..:whip:
We have Joanne in Labrador on one end, Michelle in Alberta and me in the middle, Ontario......:highfive:
Look out the Canucks are taking over, wohooo!!! Think I needed less chocolate today LOL!

rotfl...if you love chocolate..that means I don't have to share my moose meat..lol...it is cool though to meet people..close to you..well with countries so big..this is close..for us..I noticed your boy is almost the same age as mine..mine is 12 now..reaching that..it is my decision stage..where foods he loved like forever..he don't like anymore ..smiles..

[jaye]

Yep, I call him my smelly dirty boy....he doesn't like that and I don't know why. LOL

Food, ugh! There is only ONE fruit that he will eat and that's apples, but it has to be Royal Gala. He takes one in his lunch everyday as well as that drinkable yogurt, but it has to be strawberry, yet he won't eat a strawberry to save his life. :doh4:
I live close to the tomato capital of Canada. Every few feet is a vegetable stand. Nice in the summer as I don't pay grocery store prices for cucumbers, peppers, onions and the like. The town (village actually) I live in is really big for fishing, perch and pickeral, but I'm not a big fish lover, especially not out of Lake Erie. I'll eat haddock and of course shrimp, neither native to my neck of the woods.

Have a great day!

Welcome to the orchard. My keyboard has a nice case of dyslexia, so forgive any of its spelling errors. I am perfect, it's not:roflmao:
I'm an american stuck in Italy, so we've got ladies from all over the world on here. We should all scrap a page about our hometown and make a scrap orchard world album!

[jaye]

That's a cool idea! I can scrap fish and squashed tomatoes, LOL.

I don't feel lonely with my boy anymore..he is just like that too..used to love beans and weiners for years..and now just wont touch..them..likes KFC burgers but no way will eat homemade ones..I keep wondering if it is a man thing smiles...I used to live out in kitchener..near a tomatoe field..wont tell you what mischeif we got into..smiles..Ontario is very pretty, I miss the thunder storms..and all the beautiful trees..it is a real nice place to live..but must be even nicer in the smaller places..we never get fresh fruit like you do there..one of the disavantages of living way up north..that and the prices when we do get it..strawberries a like over 6 dollars..and half molding..so just but the frozen stuff..catch you soon..Joanne

yes in the summer I am very lucky, can buy a bag of cukes for $1.00, they're #2's because they are crooked, so unable to sell at grocery store but I don't care they taste the same. We grow a lot of flowers as well, greenhouses are everywhere. At night you should see the glow, pretty cool.
Of course with the weather fresh fruit and veggies are only available certain times of the year so alot is imported here also.
Kitchener? I'm three hours from there, live closer to the Detroit border.

[chellebelle]

so nice to meet you ..too...I popped over and visited your blog..congratulations..on a new baby on the way..and wow..that ultrasound picture is priceless...how wonderful is that..to be able to see the babies face so good...nice to meet you..

Thanks! Yeah seeing those pictures was just amazing! Only a few more weeks to go not long now and hopefully I'll have a real picture of her! :)

ROFL @ Jaye yes we have them surrounded, lol...go canuks!!!! I always love meeting canadians online cuz it makes me feel less lonely as so many in the community seem to always know someone from their area lol.

I'm proud to live in Steak country...yummmm!

It is going to be so nice to have a new baby..wish you all the best..it will be so much fun to do layouts of her..when you are back on your feet..let us know when she is born..smiles..
I am to old now to have any more..but love babies..I guess I will have to wait now until I am a grandma...
me too..I don't get to meet many Canadians online, and living here not a chance..as no one even likes doing graphic things yet on computer..and sometimes it do get lonely..as every one seems to know others..
humm steak country..and the fruit and vegetable belt..and wow..the best we have here is wild berries..smiles
