Scrapbooking....

Have I mentioned that I scrapbook? Well, it's not something that I ever thought that I would possibly be interested in....but when I was pregnant with Austin, my good friend Amy took me to a crop (when a bunch of people sit around together and scrapbook) and I was hooked....

I have a small group of friends that try to get together once a week on Tuesdays for Girls Night....this used to consist mainly of scrapbooking at my friend Natasha's house....well, then I started paperchasing, and my friend Katia was remodeling her house, and it just got crazy around last January and we've only gotten together two or three times since then.

I am now almost ONE year behind in scrapbooking my family pictures. Does anyone see what looms ahead if I don't get caught up? That's right, 2 weeks of China pictures, a new baby, lots more picture piling up.

I am committed (and I'm putting it in writing) to scrapbook every night until I am at least caught up to 3 months behind. Just writing this makes me queesy because I'm not sure I can do it, but I am going to try..... I have to....

(Disclaimer: From reading this blog you just might think that I am one of those super crafty people because I scrapbook and am working on the 100 Wishes Quilt for Ryleigh, but I'm really not, I really want to be, but I'm not...)

Stacey, in my world, just scrap booking, or just quilting makes you super crafty! Is your middle name Martha? Honestly though, you are an inspiration. I wish that I had your patience, energy and craftiness. Keep up the good work!

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and even quacks like a duck it must be a duck! What I am trying to say is you look pretty darn crafty. :)

Dang girl - you are talented! Those scrapbook pages look awesome.

I have discovered that I have a crafty talent too, by the way. It is...drumroll please...opening the envelopes that my 100 Good Wishes Quilt squares come in. Whoohoo! Oh, wait, you mean I have to do something with them. Whoa that's going to be a lot of work. Sigh.
