Hi everyone! Ross here to say hello and see how our beta testers are hanging in there??  Some of you have been very quiet and we understand it may be because we’ll be wiping the slate clean before we officially launch.  Rest assured, we’re working extremely hard behind the scenes to bring you the best hybrid scrapbooking website in the world.

There are so many things going on and we’d love to scream them all out to the whole world, but now’s just not the time.  I like to think of it as a horse race and right now we’ve got the future Breeder’s Cup champion being groomed and in training on the home turf (behind the scenes).   We have a lot of confidence in our development team and have given them a laundry list of site improvements we’d like to see.  Most all of the suggestions came directly from all of you, so thank you for your input.

We will definitely be launched before the end of the year (planning on sometime in November but hate making promises we can’t keep) and have some huge plans for CHA this year.

Stay tuned for important updates and in the meantime please continue to play around with the builder application and let us know what you like/don’t like, or what seems to be intuitive and what remains difficult to navigate for you.

On a more personal note, I’m having a fantastic day after getting myself back in workout mode after about 6+ months of pure ScrapHD development.   It’s easy to make excuses when you’re so in love with what you do, but I finally decided to try an “at home/at office” workout dvd since the majority of the time in Chicago it’s difficult to find a treadmill or machine that’s open when I want it.

I had scheduled myself to run the Chicago marathon on Oct. 11th ‘09  about a year ago, and yeah, that didn’t happen!  I’m not sure if it will next year, either, because I’m soooooooo dedicated to helping everyone here at ScrapHD get our very own marathon completed.

What I love about being web-based is that we can be working on versions that have yet to be seen and then release it when it’s ready overnight without having you all download anything to your computers.  That night is coming soon, and then we’ll be right back to work on the backend and always be bringing our future Club Members fantastic upgrades.

I hope you’re all as excited as we are.  Please trust that we’ve got something special in the works for all of you and we’ll be bringing you the most affordable way to enjoy hybrid scrapbooking at its best!  Oh, and I shouldn’t forget, the easiest and most customizable way, too!

Thanks everyone for playing around – please help us by continuing to build and publish pages so we can see your incredible layouts.

Cheers!
