I managed to get everything accomplished at the scrapbooking retreat that I wanted to. I made a cute mini album for a baby boy that has yet to be born, and I loaded up my Project Life scrapbook with lots of pictures that I had taken during the year and never done anything with. You know, those occasional photos you take that really turn out cute, but they're not part of an event that you would scrapbook in a few pages. That's where Project Life comes in handy. You can put the single photos you take of everyday life and put it in a page with some journaling on a little card right beside it. My biggest problem was that I hadn't bothered to put dates on a lot of the pictures, so I had trouble getting them in chronological order. That took 1/2 day in itself.
The snow stayed on the ground for the whole time I was in Sevierville, and we never did get water in our bathroom but by the day I left, the weather had warmed up and no snow was in sight. I took some neat pictures of it when it was freshly fallen, and they turned out so pretty! But now I'm tired of winter, and I want spring to arrive. Unfortunately snow is forecast again for tomorrow and a couple days next week. I am not a winter person, and this year I didn't get to take my yearly winter trip to sunny Florida - too busy. I guess that's why I'm so cranky.
Good news, though, I have a new work table for my craft room, and I hope to be making some videos again soon. I have to get over the bronchitis that I caught during my retreat in Sevierville first. Have a good week-end.
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.
