Wow!! The minute the word got out that we were getting ready to clean out Granny's house and sell everything in it, all those relatives who had shown no interest whatsoever in anything she had, suddenly started showing up out of the woodwork and taking things home. My husband has one brother and one sister, and, certainly, they were encouraged to help themselves to anything they wanted. However, relatives we very seldom saw, started showing up and taking things - complete bedroom sets, good quilts, TV's, entertainment consoles, and lazy-boy chairs - all things that we were planning to sell at our estate sale, until, after it was over, there was basically only junk left. Nothing really worth selling. Where were these people when we were begging them to come over and go through the house?? So I guess we're just going to have the Salvation army come and haul off what's left. I wonder if anyone is going to come back and help us paint the place to get it ready to rent. LOL!
This week-end I'm going to an EventsPathUnlimited scrapbooking convention that's being held only 7 minutes from our house. I'm going to make a mini-book or too, so I can make a video when the week-end is over. I'll also make a video or two at the convention of any interesting projects people are working on. Bye for now.
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.
I'm So Glad You Stopped By
