Handmade Papers
I have always wanted to make my own paper so I could have that homemade feel and look.  I loved those journals and books that have ragged edges and flower pieces in them.  Since the city has not brought paper recycling back, it gave me the perfect motivation to start making 8.5×11 sheets from used paper, junk mail, and whatever other sources.  The result is a unique, sturdy sheet of paper great for making cards and scrapbook layouts (some sheets I make acid free). I will post photographs in my Gallery of the thank you card and stationery sets that I create using this wonderful paper which do include cards and en

Organizational Troubles
So I have been such a procrastinator. With everything that’s been going on, I haven’t made time to clean up let alone scrapbook. I’m just as tired of excuses as you are, so tomorrow (as I work today from 6am-10pm) I will finish picking up the room. It’s such a mess that I’m not even going to attempt organizing my scrappy stuff until I can move around easily in there. I’ll then go from there. I do have to say I did start by going through the file cabinet that we keep in the room and now we’ve decided to sell it as we don’t want to keep that much paper ever again. Such a waste. Shredded years off. Copyright © 2009

Scrap Pink Success . . . Now what?
Thanks to everyone involved with Scrap Pink 2009! We had too much fun. So now that it’s over, I’m at a loss. My time has been so consumed that I haven’t focused on anything else. Probably not the best idea I know, but it was worth it. What to do? I could set another goal. Sounds good, huh? So let’s see what needs to be done. Well, as you all know, organization is an on-going project. Then there’s those altered/artistic projects I started years ago and have not gotten very far with them. What else, oh yeah, scrapbooking for fun. We have to remember to make time to enjoy our personal projects and hobbies. Decisions, decisions. .
