Scrapbooking

Hi there Birgit, this post is for you. You mentioned you were interested in seeing a bit of my scrapbooks. The albums I use for the kids are Creative Memories. I just love the quality of their products, but they are not economical, so for the big album with 300 photos, I purchased an album from a department store for $20, and filled it up completely. My style is very simple, minimalist compared to some. 




The Creative Memories albums pages all have protective sleeves, and you start with a 12by12 blank slate, so
layout possibilities are endless. I try to fit in at least 6 photos per layout. These albums also lay perfectly
flat, so they are very nice to look through.

The quality of Creative Memories cannot be beat. I actually used to be a representative, but no longer. That
is a long story. I just love the herringbone tweed on this one.

Major size difference! Creative Memories albums are not designed to hold that many pages.


All pockets in this album are 4 by 6. I made all of my owns journal boxes and most 
of the embellishments.

    Thank you sooooo much for showing your pages. they look so thought out and well written from what I can see. I always add more pages and they never sit flat. Sometimes being minimal is better in the long run. I love the paw prints on the one.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

Image
This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
