Donations to Child Foundation and Direct Relief

In September DigitalScrapbook.com committed to donating all new subscription income from that month to charities involved in helping the people of Afghanistan, who have been in desperate need of basic necessities following the recent changes that have taken place in their country. You can learn more in my original announcement here.

I am pleased to announce that we received a number of new subscriptions last month which came to just over $1400 in total payments. We decided to round that number up to $1500, and have just donated that amount in equal parts to Child Foundation and Direct Relief, two charities with stellar track records that are actively working to mitigate the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

Thank you to everyone who subscribed during this period to help make this donation possible!

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.
