Here\u2019s what she had to share with us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My name is Lisa Kelsey and I go by kelseyll everywhere in digiland. After being a secondary teacher and gymnastics coach for 12 years I stepped out of my classroom to finally be a mom! My husband and I had tried for nearly 10 years including some fertility treatments to no avail until one day one of my high school girls walked into my room and asked if we would adopt her baby!! She had graduated the year before and was 5 months along so we didn&#8217;t have much time to get the paperwork together. What she didn&#8217;t know is in that moment I knew we had our answer to so many years of prayers! The whole story is quite amazing and could be a movie on the Lifetime movie network! It is hard to believe that happened 10 years ago now. Kaitlyn will turn 10 on July 31st and is the subject of most of my scrapping. She is our angel and we have a great relationship with both biological parents and their families. Kaitlyn gets to see each of them a couple times a year, but with texting, Facebook, etc. she really has as much access as she wants!<br \/>\nI am enjoying being at home and have taught classes online and scored state tests at times, but I keep pretty busy with making the school&#8217;s yearbook and taking pics of all the events as well as my CT and Designer duties. We lost my dad this past year so my mom moved in with us last summer. My husband had major back surgery on June 16th so currently I am the only driver in the house! I feel fortunate that I don&#8217;t have to juggle a full time job outside of the home right now so I can focus on my family&#8217;s needs.<br \/>\nLike many people I read about in the forums I started paper scrapping long before it was popular and only switched to digital when the quality met my high expectations. I started out using SBC but quickly &#8220;outgrew&#8221; it as I felt limited while trying to design. I&#8217;m glad I made the leap to PS and am still learning this program. Designing has really helped me with new tricks and techniques. I love that I can share this hobby with so many fellow &#8220;addicts&#8221; and I&#8217;ve met some truly amazing and wonderful friends from all over the world. I am really excited to guest with GS this month and get to know the community here better!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And here are just a few of the things you\u2019ll find in her store:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Chalk-Is-Neat-alpha.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1270.photobucket.com\/albums\/jj606\/gingerscraps1\/2015\/07\/01\/July%201st.jpg\" alt=\" photo July 1st.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nChalk is Neat Alpha: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Chalk-Is-Neat-alpha.html\">https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Chalk-Is-Neat-alpha.html<\/a><br \/>\nFine Line Plastic {Neutrals} alpha: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Fine-Line-Plastic-Neutral.html\">https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Fine-Line-Plastic-Neutral.html<\/a><br \/>\nFine Line Plastic {Rainbow} alpha: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Fine-Line-Plastic-Rainbow-alpha.html\">https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Fine-Line-Plastic-Rainbow-alpha.html<\/a><br \/>\nSpringtime alpha: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Springtime-alpha.html\">https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Springtime-alpha.html<\/a><br \/>\nStar Spangled alpha: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Star-Spangled-alpha.html\">https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Star-Spangled-alpha.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She has a great sale going on, as well!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1270.photobucket.com\/albums\/jj606\/gingerscraps1\/2015\/07\/01\/gdad.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m proud to also let you know that <a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/BoomersGirl-Designs\" target=\"_blank\">BoomersGirl Designs<\/a> will be staying with us <strong>PERMANENTLY<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>This month\u2019s Monthly Mix is called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/store.gingerscraps.net\/Monthly-Mix-Family-Ties.html\" target=\"_blank\">Family Ties<\/a>\u201d!
