Looking Back at February

It's always hard to believe when the month is over, and February doesn't really help the situation by being so short. We had a very mild and enjoyable month, spring is well on it's way, which seems to be a bit unusual from reports I've heard of other places around the country. But the daffodils are up and the cherry blossoms are ready to burst out any day now. There's not much better than the arrival of spring.

▲ It does occasionally rain.

▲ Jordan fixes our mice, which seem to always break down at a certain time.

▲ I couldn't decide on a color, so I just ordered the same scarf in three colors. I was not sad when they arrived in the mail.

▲ Setting the table.

@Pamela: I have lots of friends and family in Minnesota, so I've been getting a lot of your sentiments from my photos. Although, at least they have running water! I hope your pipes thaw soon. I am not a flower expert, so I couldn't tell you about the flowers in my photos, unless it's something obvious like a tulip...

Hello Marisa, Oh my goodness! I am SO jealous that your area has daffodils and other blossoms already?!! I am in Ontario, Canada, and like much of the continent, we are still in the grips of winter, and will be until early- to mid-April! The water service pipes to my house from the city water supply froze solid last week, so I have had NO running water for the last 10 days! Managing a household without running water is very difficult, as you may imagine. So, it did my heart good to see your lovely photographs, especially the blooming shrub. Is that a Kalmia latifolia (Mountain Laurel) by any chance? I also must say how very much I enjoy reading your blogs, and seeing your lovely and fun photographs. Thank you for sharing this glimpse of your life with us, your devoted fans! From Pamela Richardson, in Ontario, Canada

@Vicky: It's actually a screenshot of my shuttercal calendar. If you click on the photo it will take you to the website I use to keep track of a photo a day.

Very nice - thanks for sharing! How did you make the collage in the first photo?

Love seeing your signs of spring! Our poor robins are just beginning to show themselves, and with several feet of snow showing no sign of going away anytime soon, we worry about what they will eat! Thanks for the reminder it really will happen!

All I can say is I wish MY husband was computer savvy. I have to do all the networking, maintaining, updating and fixing if anything goes wrong with the computers, and I know just enough to be dangerous! I love your artsy photos. :-)

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.
