    Scrapbooking - finding the time !

    Saturday, February 2, 2008, 08:17 AM [General]

    I've never blogged before ... so I'm not quite sure how to start, what to say and all that other stuff.  Really the only crafty thing I do is scrapbooking at the point, although I have high hopes for myself to aspire to other things!  And maybe this site will help me get there with a little help from my current friends and new friends I'm sure I will meet.

    I've been scrapbooking about 8 years.  What started as an afternoon at my sister in laws house ... I came home 4 hours later and I had 1 page finished.  My husband said to me, "that's all you did?"  I worked hard on that page, but it was true.  That's all I did for 4 hours of work.  I have to get the hang of this because I'll never get my "life" scrapped at this pace.  Needless to say, I've picked up the pace a bit.  The only problem I run into now is I don't make the time or take the time to scrap like I use to.  And that frustrates me.

    Any inspirational stories to get me moving again?

    Hi Jayayuu
    i'm sure that Gracie will inspire you - all those doggy antics that need to be remembered! Time to get to the store, pick out some wonderful supplies and let your fingers get inspired. Love the blog - keep them coming...

    Hi Jayayuu!

    I don't know if you have done this, but I know that I could never find time either until I set up a dedicated area for me to scrapbook in. Now I can leave my stuff out on the table and walk away for 2 days if need be.

    The thought of unpacking eveything for 20 minutes before even being able to scrapbook kept me from doing it very often.

    I also know that inviting a friend over to scrapbook with me helps motivate me also. After all, how rude would it be to stop and do housework when I have a guest over?

    Good Luck!
