I am all caught up now! I just found out about the Roundtable last week in May Flaum's BPS class and I am totally into it. It is so much fun to listen to people gab about scrapbooking. I live in Japan and don't get enough interaction with people who are passionate (read obsessed!) about this hobby. I am especially interested to hear about the industry side of things ... it's like hot gossip to my ears, but more than that, it is so interesting to hear about all the changes that have occurred throughout the years. I have been scrapbooking officially since 1998 when I was introduced to Creative Memories. For several years, I thought that was all there was to it. I had no idea that an alternate world of scrapbookers (non-CM people) existed until I picked up an old copy of Simple Scrapbooks one day and discovered what I had suspected all along - that scrapbook pages could actually look better without cropping photos into various shapes and using gingham patterned paper! Stacy Julian, Cathy Zielske, Angie Lucas, Ali Edwards, etc. have became "mentors" for me as I broke away from CM and began experimenting with lay out design principles (wow, there are actually principles?) and learning about theme albums & embellishing in a tasteful, yet simple way. I was sad when the reign of SS ended (and I even blogged about it), but I was also really excited to see what the former staff members of CM would come out with next as they began to branch out on their own. How exciting to sit at a virtual roundtable with the likes of former SS staff, among so many other icons in the industry and hear them give their real opinions about scrapbooking topics. I love it! Last year, I began to learn about digital scrapbooking, mainly through Jessica Sprague and her awesome web site. How about inviting her on the show? Or some of her staff, such as Liv Esteban. Both of these women are really amazing (drop shadows and all!!), and will have a lot to contribute. I would love to hear their views on design and online learning in general. Keep up the great podcasts! I'll take Roundtable over All My Children any day! Love having the male, outsider perspective too. Noell, you are so lucky to have such a witty, talented husband.
