Have You Ever ....

...met your digi-friends in real life??

I have! Five years ago or so my nephew and his family made a trip out to San Diego for a week, so I booked a flight and met up with them - and, in the process I made plans to meet 4 of my digi-besties. We did a day @ Disney and then spent the entire next day digi-scrrapping together. It was so much fun!!

Haven't met any, but I've talked to several on the phone. Kind of got used to keeping scrapping on the phone and computer and family IRL. A long while ago, I used to have coffee while talking to a scrapping friend on Hotmail Messenger each night. Although, I would like to meet one in Illinios

​I've met several online friends in addition to Sheri. I met a group of friends from the old chat forum days ....dang, I forget the name of that forum. It was something like d marie or something. Anyway, we all went to Las Vegas & it was fun, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that unless you know them REALLY well *blush* I met some others at a crop, I actually met my hubby online before we met in real life (that was before EVERYONE was doing it, and well, to say it was unique would be an understatement. I'm going to meet someone that I've been friends with for about five years later this year. I'm SUPER excited about that. Lol, should I tell them yet, Julie? Ooops, maybe I just did *grin*

Oh wow! No unfortunately not yet. Almost set a date here in Holland to meet some friends, but that didn't succeeded. And then all the others are so far away. .. but when i will travel (I'm not the travelling kind of people) I'm going to try to meet some. I would love that. ..

What city do you live in, Sonja? My hubby and I are coming to your part of the world later this year. His parents live in Ermelo.

 

[zanthia]

no but would love to
when my laptop worked ( this was over 2 years ago) i skyped with scrap friend form new zealand

 

[Bright Eyes]

No, I haven't met any of the designers in real life. Would love to met some of them. I fell like many are friends anyway - as we got to know each other through chats, etc.

I did met some on-line Red Hat friends at conventions. What a hoot those were!! Also met some sewing friends who I knew from an on-line sewing connection group.

 

[SoMeNL]

I live nearby Rotterdam. Would love to meet you!!! Just let me know when you are in the Holland, then we can plan something!

I have met on scrapper a few times. She visited MN a couple times to visit family and we met up and we went to Chicago a couple times and enjoyed time together there, too. It looks like I might meet up with another scrapper friend this fall in Indiana!! So fun!!

 

[Mother Bear]

I've met one digi friend and we usually have coffee once every couple of months and have become good friends...I've also met 2 of my designers (that was scary I tell you) and later this year I get to meet Faye and Sheri.......YAY!! can't wait and I'm so excited.....although I'm not looking forward to the long flight to get there but in the end it will be so worth my fear of flying.

 

[Fayette]

We'll make sure that it's worth that long, awful flight. Lol, I've done that flight one time. I wanna go back....but they need faster jets first

 

[msbrad]

Yes I have - several! It's all been good. I'm not sure if any are members here or not. There are several more I would love to meet.

Yes I have I met a lot to crop where 10 of us met up once. I have met up with then subsequently a couple of times. I also met someone I now designed for. We met online 11 years ago and met up for real 10 years ago. We are now really good friends though we only get to meet once or twice a year.

It so cool that digital scrapbooking has reached so many corners of the world and allowed so many to meet up face to face!

Jill started this thread about meeting scrapbookers IRL, but I was wondering something else. Have any of you ever visited the "touristy" places in your city? I live in San Antonio, Texas and I've visited The Alamo (once, about 40 years ago on a school field trip) I am just now taking a look at the other missions in San Antonio. Cool, great photo ops, and they have been in the same city all of the time I've lived here! Are there any cool sites in your city? Have you seen them?
