New: Sofia Bundle

This is the last completely new bundle from our time traveling. I still have some old ones I'm working on updating, but this is the last brand new one I have.

Sofia, Bulgaria was the last place we stopped on our travels. We had been hoping to travel by land all the way to Amman, but due to the unrest in Syria this wasn't possible, so we flew.

At this point in the trip I was pretty exhausted from our year long trek. Once we got to Amman I didn't leave the house for about 6 months. I remember sitting on the couch reading and suddenly realizing I had no clue where I was, and then my brain would slowly chug through all the possibilities. This takes a while because my brain always starts with Minnesota (where I was born) and then slowly goes through everywhere I've been since then. So I would sit for several minutes with no knowledge of where I was until my brain would finally come up with the answer. I've felt displaced before, but not to the extent that I did at the end of this trip.

Sofia was a nice city. I remember mostly bright sunshine, domed cathedrals, and cool drinks.

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.
