A New Group

What a beautiful day it is. The sun is shining and the kids are at school soon to come home. I recently discovered a new scrapbooking site on facebook called "Craftella". www.craftella.com It's a scrapbooking group and they have a couple of contests running right now. One is based upon your participation in the forum and the other one is a page contest using the theme of Love or Valentines. Joining is free and I am going to try my luck. I can feel my mojo coming back. When my kids come back from school, I'm going to take some Valentine pictures as the kids celebrated it at school today. Should be fun. My son made a special card for a girl in his class. I wonder if he gave it to her. We shall see.

Corner tip

I've been busy cleaning and decluttering my scrappy area. It's taking more time as kids take priority over cleaning. Today I am sorting through a few boxes before the kids come home from school but wanted to check my email. I was so glad I did as this tip was in my newsletter from the Craft Nook. It's a really cool idea for using decorative scissors sent to me by Linda of the Craft Nook. Thanks Linda and thanks Paula for a great idea. Paula Ponders: CORNERS - You asked for it.

The first of many.

This is my first post on my own blog and it's about time. At the age of 50, I think I have waited long enough. I hope to make this about my hobby, scrapbooking. It has been many months since I even scraped a page and it is my hope that this will spawn my creative juices to start scrapping again.

I have been checking out new sites with sketches and have recently purchased a Gypsy to go with my cricut. I love the idea of loading all my cartidges into it so hopefully this will help too plus a good cleaning and some reorganizing in my scrappy area. Wish me luck!
