From Coast to Coast and Back Again
8000 miles later and we've made it from the one side of the country to the other and back again. I have lost track somewhat of regular life, and I'm in the process now of trying to locate what it is I used to do before I spent all my time in the car. Today I hope to tackle our photos so I can make some more interesting posts, and also start thinking about the new bundles I want to make. This is just a little post to say Hi! I'm still alive, and here trying to figure out what to do next.
The Atlantic and the Pacific.

About Me
Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!
I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!
I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!
If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.

Welcome back! While I'm sure the trip must have been a lot of fun, I'm sure you're happy to be out of a car now... Can't wait to see all your pictures!
Welcome back Marisa and Jordan. Hope you enjoyed it very much. I'm sure you must have but being on the road that long must have been grueling. I know it would be for me. What part of the Atlantic coast is that? Almost looks like the New England area. Both are beautiful. I live on the Atlantic side but have been on the Pacific side. I think I prefer the Pacific side but the water is always so cold. Your wonderful site was well looked after while you were away.
Can't believe that the Atlantic is brighter than the Pacific, always thought it the other way around, but there what do I know, I'm on the Atlantic and haven't seen the Pacific LOL.
Thanks for giving me pleasure by posting your photos of your trip.
Welcome back. I hope you had a relaxing vacation and got lots of inspirational ideas.
Welcome back to real life! Enjoying all the new stuff, even if I don't have time to use it right now...
I love seeing all your travels. What a treat to see. Our next trip is to Ireland. Just need to get the hubby to get on the plane. :0)
