Well, I'm French-Canadian, and I now live in Australia

[France]

Hi all
(just an aside, when you're French speaking from Canada, you refer to yourself as French-Canadian, it does not mean I'm half French, half Canadian, despite my name, which is "France" and no, I've never been there either! :giggle:)

It's about time I came here and said Hello! I joined mid-December, because Heather made me :biggrin8: and I'm so glad I did.
I am an ex-stamper, who just no longer has time to wait for paint to dry and glue to set. I've dabbled in other things too, like polymer clay and soap making (I still make soap on and off).
I have LOVED the last couple of weeks I've spent here, and surpassed myself thanks to your challenge, and various kits (paid and freebies). Everyone is so encouraging, I feel like I have a little posse (thanks, you know who you are, always leaving comments on my stuff, you make my day!!) and it's made me feel really welcome. I'm a bit shy leaving comments, though I do, because I'm just starting and feel humbled by your talent, and so many of you inspire me with your beautiful layouts!!!

I am also wondering if I'm the only digi-scrapper using Xara? any other Xara users out there?

Anyway, thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome.
:yourock::thanks:

Bienvenue France. J'ai hâte de voir toutes tes créations et de jaser avec toi. Je vis à Laval, Canada depuis 12 ans, et moi, je viens de France l'origine, je suis une vraie "Canadienne Française" :giggle:.

I cannot control the excitement that you live just about 20 minutes away from me! We **MUST** meet for coffee! Or come over with your laptop or I'll come to you with mine! Very excited! (can you tell!) I'm in Hamersley.

Xara? Never heard of it! Wow! Sounds exciting though! I am just boring old PS CS3 user! been using PS since V2! And a Wacom since their first one in about 1992ish when I drew a meerkat that got used in their advertising campagn!! Old habits die hard hey!

ANyway must dash. Very very humid today (as you know!) so need to go to the beach or something!!!
