Things are going well for me in Scrapbooking Land.  So far in 2018:

  • finished the China 2012 Trip album.
  • started Project Life monthly updates using the new Project 12 kits.  All Januaries from 2006 through 2018 are finished.
  • started a twice-a-month Low Tech Crop on the Simple Scrapper Members Facebook group. 
  • surprised at how popular the Low Tech Crops are.
  • starting on Washington DC 2010 Trip album.
  • ordered a new reburbished Epson Picturemate 400 printer to be delivered Monday. 
  • doing Stash Bash Month on Simple Scrapper.
  • saved enough funds for Crop & Create Thunder Bay.

I joined Simple Scrapper in March 2017, and it has been worth every cent of the membership fee.  I get so much out of it and I am finally out of my scrapbooking lull and am very productive.  Being part of a supportive, fun group has been terrific too.  I enjoy the monthly book club, the crops, the challenges, and especially the quarterly Refresh retreats.  Best yet, my family is enjoying my productivity. My husband doesn’t say it, but I can see that he is happy I am scrapbooking again.  He’s my #1 fan in that arena.

I’m very excited that I already have saved up enough money to fully fund Crop & Create in November.  It’s all Cathy Zielske‘s fault that I found Scrapbook and Cards Today and signed up last year for the Thunder Bay Crop & Create.  Cathy is the art director for the magazine and talks a lot about how nice everyone is there.  I signed up for the retreat last year and felt like I met my real-life scrapbooking tribe. 

Between my online (Simple Scrapper) and real-life scrappy tribes, I am a very happy scrapper.

I hope things are going well for you in Scrapbooking Land.  Let me know!

A Very Happy Me
