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 All Into Making Paper Flowers This Week.
I just wanted to let you know what I've been doing lately. I have totally fallen in love with making paper roses by hand. Really, I do all the cutting and folding, and then gluing by hand at night while I'm watching TV, and it find it so relaxing. It does make my hands kind of sore, though. I mostly make roses 4-5 inches across with all sorts of paper colored on both sides. I ink the edges to make them look rustic, and then I paint a pretty little bottle like the one above and make it look rustic. I'm going to start an Etsy shop to see if I can sell some of the bouquets, because I don't have that many shelves in my house to set my creations on. Of course I'm still into Close To My Heart, and our new catalog for 2015-16 comes out in Sept. I've seen it, and the new Holiday stamps and papers are wonderful! Send me an e-mail if you want a new catalog. Otherwise you can go right to my website next month and order:
