    Starting on our Christmas page

    November 17, 2008 - By 

    Every year I make a scrapbook page… virtually the only traditional scrapbooking I do…then make color copies to send out as our Christmas greeting.

    This year I am struggling with both a design and color scheme.

    My first concept was this completely non-traditional color scheme. I love the colors and elements but can’t seem to find a design I like.

    The second has more traditional Christmas colors but just seems blah and ordinary to me.

    I’m also struggling with what photos to use.

    I think I just have too many things going right now and need to just focus on one at a time.

    Collections

    November 15, 2008 - By 


    I grew up in a household that had many collections. Rocks, sea shells, fancy tea cup and saucers sets just to name a few.
    Over the years I’ve gotten rid of most of my “dust catcher” collections and now only collect items that are useful, such as my Fiestaware.
    These are our everyday dishes as well as our “fancy” dishes.

    I also have a vast fabric stash and scrapbook papers but they fall into the useful collection in my book. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

    Do you collect anything? I’d love to hear about it or see a picture.
