The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

LIFE HAS THROWN ME SOME LEMONS!!
My life is not going to be my own,I fear, at least for the next little while. It seems that my mother-in-law has had a series of strokes that have left her unable to be by herself any longer. She can walk, talk, and eat. But her mind is totally gone. We have been taking turns caring for her, but we are going to have to hire someone to come in during the day because one of her sons is too selfish to give up any of his time to help care for her. The whole load has been falling on me and my sister-in-law. It really galls me to fork out $400 per week to a stranger when we could sit with her, but she is not my mother, and her children are making all the decisions. I will try to do another project soon, but I haven,t gotten my act together yet. In the meantime, I,m going to try to sell some mini's on eBay.
