A Few Additional Scraps...

I managed to complete a few additional journal entries yesterday. All of my most recent layouts that I have shared this week were semi - completed in December 2023, minus the journaling piece. Yeah... I know, I am super slow when it comes to scrapbooking these days.
I just have one more layout to complete from December 2023... and then I hope to complete one or two layouts each week in my craft room. Ha... we'll see. This weekend, I will be attending an all day crop. It's not too far from home, and I am looking forward to adding to my layout totals; in addition to having a nice day out, with the potential of meeting new crafting friends.

Early Morning Scraps

During the work week, I wake up at 5 AM. Urrrghh. I know right?

After printing (and messing up) and reprinting my latest journalling piece, I was finally able to attach to to my latest completed layout.
Initially, the journalling was too large, then there was a mistake with the date, then I noticed a spelling error etc... if anything could go wrong, it went wrong with the journalling piece last night, that's for sure! However, I am happy that I finally managed to get it right and enter another layout into my latest scrapbook album which is slowly filling up.

I semi - completed this layout at my first in-person crop in eight years. Yes... it was a good long while since I cropped in-person... and if you know me, you know that I LOVE attending crops. After the birth of my second child, it was difficult to leave the house for the first couple of years. But now that he is older, I decided it is time to get back to my scrapbooking passion. Sure, every now and and then I feel a bit sad when I think about how many years I neglected my hobby - but at the same time, I am glad to be back and doing what I love!

I have signed up for a few upcoming in-person, as well as virtual crops and am looking forward to getting a whole lot done!

So... It's Been Awhile!

Well, look who is back after an eleven year hiatus!

Yeah, I know... blogs might be a thing of the past, with the instant likes and quick scrolling of other social media platforms; but I guess I am a lil' old fashioned like that and decided to revive my blog, as I slowly revive my scrapbooking hobby.

A lot has happened in eleven years - and I would hope, that a lot has happened in eleven years, LOL. Some good, some bad... and a few things have remained a lil' bit the same. I hope to use this blog as a way to keep me motivated and on track with regards to my scrapbooking hobby and goals. Currently, I hope to complete four layouts a month. We will see how that goes! But after an eight year abscence from attending crops, I am once again hitting the road with my cropping tote and various supplies. I am looking forward to getting a lot done, and having fun with friends in the process.

I must admit, I am also looking forward to adding to my scrapbooking stash... then again, I don't really need anything (my craft room is busting out at the seams, LOL). But hey... once an enabler, always an enabler :)
This here is one of my latest layouts. Hard to believe but that sweet little guy is now my soon to be fifteen year old son. Sigh. As the saying goes, "The days are long, but the years are short."
