Watch for my future editorial on my personal approach to scrapbook organizing and completing.
Crop ‘till you drop:
An event that a varying number of fellow scrapbook creators join together to complete page layouts. The location has varied from; within the home, at a memory supplies store, in a cabin, you name it. It generally includes food, tool sharing, idea exchanging, laughter, fun and a wide range of completion per participant.
Most Laughable sign of my Addiction:
The theme was in place for my daughters fifth birthday. I awoke one night with a brainstorm for the page layout…. I persevered to finish the page. Much in advance to the actual party date. Now I just had to make sure to take the appropriate pose shots for the layouts.
Yuckiest Looking Scrapbook Memory:
Daughters retrieved fifty-cent piece from plumbing in bathroom. It was special to her and Dad was a hero.
Latest Night:
I figure if I survived sleep deprivation with the children, a few all nighters wouldn’t hurt!
