Welcome Iona Esperanza

Jordan and I are pleased to let you all know that our second child was born on February 20 here in San Miguel de Allende. Iona Esperanza came into the world even quicker than her older brother, which is saying something. Luckily we made it to the hospital in time, as did the doctors and everything went smoothly, if very fast. She's been here two weeks now and it's hard to remember a time when she wasn't a part of our family.

Magnus is adjusting well to being a big brother, even if he does find her a somewhat mysterious addition to the house.

She spends most of her time sleeping, which you'll be able to see from the photos :)

I've been taking it easy, and catching up on my scrapbooking while the baby sleeps.

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.
