About Me
I'm a 65 year old living in Toronto Canada. I started paper scrapping in the 1990s & switched to digital in the early 2000s.
I've been happily married for 35 years with 2 adult children. We have a married adult daughter & a late son. (He had multiple severe disabilities - nonverbal autism, severe intellectual disability, atypical bipolar disorder, epilepsy and was a XYY male. We lost him 5 years ago at age 25 to SUDEP - Sudden Death in EPilepsy). I consider him my greatest teacher. Graham's photo and memorial page are here: https://www.autismbrainnet.org/donor/graham-brown/ (The same photo and tribute are also on the North American SUDEP Registry Our Stories page which he shares with others. Graham's donation was a joint donation to both sets of researchers.)
I'm retired but originally a children's librarian (public library) and then a supply (substitute) teacher. My favourite classes to teach were kindergarten, grades 1-2, middle school and especially special education. I particularly liked teaching students with autism or intellectual disabilities or adhd or learning disabilities or who needed behavioural support.
My hobbies (other than digital scrapping and photography) are knitting, board gaming, reading, journaling especially bullet journals, fountain pens,listening to a wide variety of music, classic movies and foreign language films and cooking (low carb/keto now since it controls my Type 2 diabetes.) I have a big interest in history, geography and different cultures and read a lot in these areas. I mostly read nonfiction but I do enjoy science fiction and fantasy. My husband and I share our home with 3 rescue kitties.
I consider myself a beginner with scrapbook design and I am enjoying learning.

Description
By request, here's 3 elements for the country of Syria: a flair with the flag, a crest for Syria and a crest for Damascus.
(For those who'd like to see all my designs including other travel crests and brads, my designs are here: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/anne-maclellan/designs ).
This crest features the city of Damascus, the largest city and capital of Syria. It is probably the oldest continously occupied city on the world. The name of Damascus was first recorded by the ancient Egyptians in the 15th century BC. In the Middle Ages, Damascus was a major point on the silk road from Asia and gave its name to the fabric known as damask where a reversible pattern is formed by weaving.

The corrected crest has been uploaded. Thank you so much Robyn for letting me know.
Thank you Robyn, I thought I double checked it. I'll correct it and reupload.
Hate to say this Anne, but Damascus is spelled wrong. Correct spelling is DAMASCUS
