Snippets!

You really must check out this link.

Then choose, Listen to Sample Snippet: "Making Time".  Her voice is soothing and friendly...makes me wanna scrap!!  I have been listening to Lain's podcasts for over a year and find her informative and entertaining.  I love to listen to her essays!  I'm hoping that her 50th aniversary podcast will be a celebration of her book, "Snippets".

Makin' a List...

Do you ever make a list of projects to finish or even begin then discover that you've done something that wasn't on the list so you writie it down just so you can cross it off?  I do.  Here are a couple of my many lists which include sketches and ideas swimming around in my head.  I wish I had more time to do the things I WANT to do!  i have household lists of things i HAVE to do too!  ugh!

 These are lists that I have made prior to "crops" so that I can have a plan before I go and help me to gather my supplies for these layouts.

Scrapbooking is everywhere!

I love to read almost as much as I love to scrapbook.  So when I learned that there were books that included scrapbooking as a part of the content, I checked them out, literally!  I just finished reading Keepsake Crimes by Laura Child...it took me a little while to get into this one but once I had a chunk on time to devote to it I was hooked and read it to the end!  I understand that there are several more in the series.

I am currently reading Sisters, Ink by Rebeca Seitz...so far so good.  It is a definate switch from what I normally read, which are cozy mysteries.  I'll get back to you in the end :)

I think I'm in love...

A friend of mine introduced my to the Kodak Picture Maker at Wal-Mart.  I knew it was there.  I've used it before.  I hate to go to Wal-Mart so I generally send my husband with a list.  BUT, she showed me the mini prints she made using this machine and I think I'm in love!  I have printed more photos this past summer than I would have by sending them via upload!  I love the sizes that it offers two prints on one 4x6 or four prints on a 4x6.  It's easier to get more photos on a page which makes it less challenging to use some of the ideas published in sketches like Becky Higgins and Ali Edwards!  They are an awesome size for mini-albums and other fun projects!  Let the scrappin' begin...I mean, continue!
