    Greetings from Michigan

    I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. When I met my Fiancee two years ago I had my introduction to scrapping. I enjoy everything about scrapping especially the tearing apart of things. We always focused on large heavy items but I want to start doing small scrapping; IE- computer guts, partly to learn how things are put together and because I think its a part of scrapping that we have been over looking.

    We have a 15 month old daughter and due to my Fiancee being job less for around 7 months around her birth we are using our scrap money to work our way out of debt in a rewarding and fun way. It's slow going but we will get there. Any helpful suggestions and information is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to learning so much from this forum.



    Thanks,
    Jamie

    Welcome to the forum. Its always encouraging to read how others are taking responsibility for their situation and working their way out. In addition to dong the search function for your interests choose a section of the forum and go toward the back and read forward, so to speak. You will start to recognize opportunities you would have missed in the past because of the reading you have done.

    I do encourage you to break down a lot of what you get early on and after a while you will get that hands on education that will tell what to continue breaking down. Best of luck, Mike.
