I had a fun and productive day! First I added to my altered books. Although, I must admit, I wasn't 'feelin' it today. It looks like these two will be my first and my last. Been there-done that kind of thing. That's okay, it served it's purpose for me to learn some collaging techniques so that I can begin to delve into some harder projects. Hopefully, I will get them finish up tomorrow so I can display them in my craft room/D's office. Also, I completed my June "12 in 12" scrapbook page. Basically, I take 12 photos on the 12th of each month a terrific idea that I got from Simple Scrapbooks (Stacy Julian). Mine looks nothing like hers and is very free-form. Anyway, I set the whole book up over the winter(above) and now I just have to add photos, journalling and embellishments each month (below). It's a good snapshot of the year in review. I keep the supplies I used to set it up in a folder so it's easy to grab the matching stuff when I need it.
Oh, this is amazing!!!! I went to the craft stores and bought NOTHING. Simply UNHEARD of, for me! I know, it sounds untrue. Here's what happened: I got so inspired and excited by yummy new yarns and cross stitch patterns that I simply couldn't choose and of course, I couldn't afford to buy EVERYTHING I wanted! AND, I have promised myself to finish up all my hanging projects before I begin anew. (We'll see how long this resolve lasts.) Furthermore, I am almost done updating my inspiration binders and recycling old mags. So, I'm off to finish that and possibly do a scrap page for my 2008 random book (see slideshow, right). Okay, seriously, I HAVE to do yucky chores first (grumble).
