Nook Tribute→Marinette

Time flies too fast...

I remember my first visit on the message board;) It was in November 2O10...almost two years.

I was so intimidated because of my language.

At this moment, I had troubles speaking English..

So, sometimes I wrote in French LOL!

I was struck by how girls get me comfortable.

A warm welcome.I was so glad♥

Since this time, I come every day on the message board. It's so important for me to read what's in life of my friends.

I feel at home.

I was so glad to be a part of the wonderfu team. I love every girl and I loved each kit.

I found so much inspiration with the other girls. So talented women.

Today I feel so sad that the NOok is closing:(

I love you all my NOokers♥♥♥
Je vous adore♥♥♥

Nook Tribute: Lilith

Boy do I hate goodbyes and this one is extremely hard. I found the nook in December 2010 and loved it from the start.  In search of inspiration and some scrappy girls who would understand this love for paper, I was overjoyed to find such a cosy and welcoming online home. I can say that I have met some amazing people and they have become my friends. The Nook was our local pub, our place to get together and I have enjoyed every minute. 

The Nook was also one of those places that has helped me grow as a scrapbooker and I have definitely become more confident thanks to all the support. I'll miss our get togethers with the Nook girls but I am sure we will stay in touch! 

Here are some of my favourite layouts: Some I made for Nook crops and others using the kits. (I will miss them too!!! Snif!)

 

Thank you My Scrapbook Nook for nearly two years of fun, inspiration and wonderful company. You will be missed. 

Lilith ♥♥♥

Nook Tribute: Bente Fagerberg

Although I am a fairly new addition to the design team here at the ’Nook’ I have come to love the friendly atmosphere and the warm reception of the forum/message board. All of you lovely members make this such a special place and I am sure going to miss it when it’s gone.

They say that all good things has to come to an end,…and this is definitely one of those good things. I have come to understand that to many people this is their ‘home’ on the internet and I shall be sad to see so many people being ‘homeless’.

I know we are trying to find new places to keep in touch and to chat, but I guess it will take some time until we ‘feel at home’ in a new place.

It is difficult to find something to replace what we have here!

I am just so grateful to Leah and Pam for having had confidence in me and I have utterly enjoyed my journey here at 'My Scrapbook Nook’ even if it was shorter than planned. I understand that there is a time for everything and that you ladies have decided to embrace new challenges. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I will share a few projects I made whilst on the team here:  

Thanks so much and I hope we will continue running into eachother somewhere in cyberspace! 

Hugs!!

Nook Tribute - Erica Hettwer

Today it's Erica who hosts the Nook tribute post. Here is how she will remember The Nook:

I will remember finding the Nook from Leah's blog when Audrey was first born in April of 2009. 

I will remember first joining in all the fun during the Nook Off.  It was my very first online crop and everyone was so welcoming!

I will remember being sooooo very excited when my first kit came. 

I will remember the outpouring of support and prayers when Mickey got hurt and I was so happy to be able to rejoice with all of you when he recovered.  I want to thank you all again for those prayers, they worked miracles!

I will remember the inspiration that the DT provided with their work and their efforts during crops and challenges and I so appreciate that!  Thank you, DT!

And, while I will remember loving the kits and the classes, the challenges and the inspiration, my favorite part of the Nook was you.  The Nook community.  You have been so supportive and kind and welcoming and I shall have a hard time finding another group of women like this one.

Thank you.

Nook Tribute - Pysselpetra

Every day during the month of september one of the Nook DT or one of the Nook friends host a Nook Blog post about how their life has been with the Nook. Today Swedish Pysselpetra is our host. Here is what she has to say:

I still remember my first kit from my scrapbook nook… I thought it was the most amazing kit design I had ever seen – simply beautiful - when I first saw it on the blog of a Swedish scrapper I admired.. . She was in the Nook DT and I found my way to the Nook MB. I immediately fell in love both with the kits and the community.

When I received the kit… wow… this was in May 2008 … at first I couldn’t get myself to start using it. It was so perfect and it felt wrong cutting it up… yes I am a bit crazy… It was almost like a collector’s item and it seemed like it should stay intact. Anyway, in the end, I made one page….

The rest of the kit I have still kept as is, still beautiful.

I received 25 kits from the Nook or more... not sure, all as beautiful and it took a long time before I actually started to use the kits, not just kept them *LOL*

I will always remember nook for the friendliness and amazing talent but also for the stressful, funny, crazy, thrilling and inspiring crops. Yes stressful indeed. But I loved getting the pressure of making almost too many pages in too short time. That really thought me not to spend hours choosing papers and decorations but just grabbing what is in reach. Some of my best pages ever I did on one of the last crops.

I also met some real good scrappy friends IRL just because I first met you at the Nook and I am so happy about that… Hilde, Camilla, Zarah and Helena.

So I will miss My Scrapbook Nook for sure and I wish all my fellow Nookies lots of happy scrappy adventures and I hope to catch up with you all, if not IRL, somewhere in cyber space.
