I gotta say… I was pretty stoked when the editor of Get Creative contacted me a while back and asked me to contribute to an article about Memory Craft. I try and maintain that I’m just a scrapbooker with an overflowing inbox, a house that I try to keep beautifully clean but don’t always manage, 3 kids that know exactly where I’ll be if I go missing –since when do I go missing, I’m always in my scraproom or the kitchen – and a home business that takes up far too much scrapbooking time. But occasionally I get clues that make me think that this scrapbooking really is more. It’s bigger than just a home craft. It’s something people are really interested in hearing about, and this is where the editor of Get Creative magazine steps in. Jacquie Byron -editor of Get Creative – contacted me back in March. Jacquie asked me some interesting questions about the craft we’ve all come to hold fairly close, and I answered best I could, knowing that the answers were going to be used in an article to hopefully inspire more readers to join us in the hobby. The article came out this week in the July 08 issue. My answers were paired with those of Carol Wingert and Helen Bradley. I’m thrilled with the way the article came together – grab a copy if you see the magazine!

Other stuff – I created some layouts for the July tarisota gallery – my favourite by far is one I did on a sewing hoop sof rAbby’s room but I’ll show that later in the week. First I wanted to show you this layout I did while trying to channel some amazing Lesley Cooper or Suz Doyle vibes. I tried to take a deep breath and take comfort in my white space, but I think I failed somewhat. It left me with a slightly different layout though.
Journaling is about how Paul & I enjoyed fishing before we had kids, and how we owned a boat, but went on to sell it when our family was little. AND how we might nearly be ready to be boat owners again. Abby’s first fishing experience… she loved it…bring on the boat…lol.
I’ll share more Tarisota in coming days… encouragement for me to blog everyday :o)
laters.
