THE SCRAPBOOK ROOM

SMASH Books are here!

Wow! I love these things.

I really like the MOD but then the International is neat...the Doodle looks so fun! And even the green is looking tempting. I just love these books. Come on out tonight (7pm Wed.) and see what Smash books are all about--and if you want one--be sure to get there early!

Extending the challenge...

Hey everyone:

By popular request, I have decided to extend the date for the sketch challenge. I will accept entries until Sunday, January 22nd so those attending the 2 day PJ Crop this weekend can enter there or anyone else can email me a photo of their completed layouts. I will draw a winner randomly from all entries and will award a nice little prize to the winner.

Get your game on. Get your scrapbook supplies back in use. Get your photos printed. And do this layout!

You can read all about it a couple of posts back. Here's the sketch again...

Now go!

Happy New Year Scrapbookers!

Thoughts on 2012:

I looked back to January 2011 to see what I had posted on my blog. I knew it would have been something inspiring and upbeat about what all I was going to do in the new year.

I was inspired by seeing my daughter scrapbooking in my space. I was inspired by all the ephemera I got for Christmas (and still haven’t used a lot of!), I was excited to complete a little album for a special wee girl (and I did!) and I was determined to clean up the mess in my scrapbook room (which I did but it’s back bigger than ever!). Oh, and I did promise to inspire you to use up some of your stashes with some special little projects and I think I did through some of the fun little mini books I shared with many of you through the year. And I remodeled The Scrapbook Room. Do come in for a look if you haven’t yet.

 (Here's part of my at home mess in 2012!)

Ah, it was all good and guess what? I’m back to do it again. Not the mess. Just the fun with scrapbooking.

Here’s my 12 thoughts for The Scrapbook Room in 2012.

            1) I WILL try really hard to update at least weekly. Look for updates at least on Mondays.

            2) I WILL have a January PJ Crop. I am looking at January 21 and 22 so do let me know if that  works for you. As in the past, $25 and a potluck dish. My apologies to those who can’t attend that weekend but it appears it’s the one that  will work best for me.

            3) I WILL have a February Sweetheart Crop—maybe even a 12 hour Saturday one!

            4) I WILL have the annual Spring Crop in April.

            5) I WILL have at least one day crop at either the Catholic Church basement or another good  space nearby.

            6) I WILL get some fun mini book classes/mini book page attachment ideas together.

            7) I WILL do at least ONE beginner’s class.

            8) I WILL go back to Wednesday night scrapbooking. Would anyone prefer Tuesdays? Or  Sundays? I’m thinking just twice a month though.

            9) I WILL get some Monday morning crops going again.

            10) I WILL have some Friday Night Pizza Crops again!

            11) I WILL use up my ephemera! Fill my smash book. Do some scrapbook pages.Organize   my photos. Organize my stash. Get back to enjoying this fun, fun craft!

            Please watch this space, follow me on Facebook, watch your email for a calendar and join me whenever you can!

            12) Oh and I WILL give away a little goodie to someone (in a random draw if more than one   respond) who comments on this post in the comment section   below!)

Upcoming Scrapbook Room Events!

Hello Everyone:

 

I am headed out of town today for about eight days but wanted to get the word out about upcoming events!

 

1) There WILL be a Scrapbook Room Christmas Party on Wednesday, December 14 at 7 pm. This will be our usual fare with everyone bringing a finger food AND if you  wish, a small $5.00 gift for a scrapbooker! You must be able to tell how your gift relates to scrapbooking--be CREATIVE! Perhaps we'll even make recipients tell HOW they think it relates to scrapbookers. Sound like fun? Anyway, our usual fun evening so please join me for this final event of the year.

 

2) Our FIRST event (major one anyway) will be the annual two day Pajama Crop in January. I am looking at the weekends of January 21-22 or 28-29 so please be sure to voice your opinion on which dates you'd favour if you're hoping to attend. This will run Saturday 2 pm to 1 am and Sunday 8 am to ?. Cost will be a set fee of $25 for the two days plus ONE potluck dish. Also, indicate if you'd be happier sitting IN The Scrapbook Room or near the woodstove in the main salon. I will announce the actual date when I return after the 11th.

 

Have a good couple of weeks!

Fun! Fun!

Renos are always such fun! (Aren't they?)

By now you've figured out I'm doing a little remodelling at The Scrapbook Room. I've even been giving little sneak peeks like this one...

In case you're wondering...that's not the same blue that was there...but you'll be able to see for yourself in exactly ONE week.

That's right.

Next Friday there will be an Open House from 1-4 pm so do stop in and check out the new Scrapbook Room!

Coffee and treats available...

Also, Friday, November 25th there will be a PIZZA CROP! It will run from 6 pm to midnight. Cost is still $10.00 which includes pizza, pop and maybe a sweet. Limited seating so you MUST reserve your spot.

See you next week. (Not till Friday though--no peeking!)
