I've just sent out an email about a few things so do check your email for that....if you don't get email, let me know and I'll repost here or send you the email!
I'm just thinking about all the things I want to scrapbook and all the ideas I have. I can't believe how passionate I am about this hobby and just wish I could devote more time to it. My question to YOU is, are you devoting any time to scrapbooking? Has it fizzled out for you? What makes it difficult? What could make it easier? Do tell all....post a comment in the comment section below this post and I'll be drawing a name from all those who comment for a nice little prize pack! So do it now!
You've probably heard me mention the 25 Things album idea (25 random things about me was a silly little facebook application that was going around). Here's some pages from my daughter's 25 Things that I nabbed because they were so photo worthy. Why not hand a pen to someone and have them do 25 things for you or you could just do a family book of 5 things about each person etc. Share your ideas of what you could do (below of course!)....
And here's those sample pages for you....
The album started from a round scalloped album with acrylic, felt and chipboard pages. I've added some small square scalloped pages and some arrow pages to make enough for my 25 things. I actually mapped the pages out slightly. I am using a paper pack from Heidi Grace for the pages along with some coordinating Bazzill cardstocks and I'll go back and do a whack more embellishing once I'm done. The album will be lumpy and bumpy and fun!
Here's two of the inside pages...
So that's that. What are you doing fun these days?

So Cute!! I can't wait to see more!!
I have fizzled out of scrapbooking, but honestly think if someone was close to me here in Woodstock to scrapbook with, I could get back busy doing it! Its boring alone!

Your book about Courtney looks as good on the PC as it does in real life.

Haha...Bridgette...it is more fun with people...I think having a table in the livingroom so I am with people in the house helps sometimes but I still don't sit down at it enough! If I threw the computer out, I might!
And Aunt Lil...thanks for the compliments on the 25 book...I hope that is not taking into consideration the distorted looking pictures or are they only showing like that on my monitor? I have no idea why they do that? I so need to learn more about creating blogs and websites! But when?

Working afternoon's suck!!
I love scrapbooking! But I have to say I've frizzled out of it recently, hoping August will be better. Although, I'm still organizing and collecting lots of pictures, and thinking of how I can scrap them all the time.
By the way your 25 book looks awesome!

Hey Velma & Liz:
Summer is hard but let's all make a pact to get back into it in the fall. I will try to work out some Christmas projects to help out AND if anyone has suggestions on other nights or frequency of events etc. that would help in the fall, please do SHARE with me...either here or in person or by email at thescrapbookroom@sympatico.ca or call me! Have a good August--I hear there will be some sun and do drop in on a Wednesday even just to say hi!
