I hit the bargain bins At Michael's and Hobby Lobby last week and the Internet as well. I now have three scrapbooks to work on. The Original which is Genealogy, A Disney(R) and a Christmas.
Certainly Christmas Card stock will be available this week at Joann's at a discount. Then I have to raid my daughter's photo album (digital I hope) and start filling in the various years. I was the photographer in 2011 and 2012. Hope to find the pictures this week.
Wednesday I am scheduled to go to Marco's Papers for the Book Club. My scanner isn't hooked up and I wanted to gather some autumn leaves and scan then onto card stock for the "book". See what I can do.
The Excel(R) spreadsheet is being kept up to date to be best of my ability. I will be adding as I purchase items and that may help me stay organized.
Have a blessed day.

Scrap Mania at Archivers in Mason, Ohio
Last night I attended my first scrap mania. I had a great time and met several new scrapbook friends. The woman I shared a table had several pages set up for assembling in the work room where she could spread out her supplies.
On the other side of the table I spread out and tried to organize my Ancestry dot com scrapbook. First the fight to alter the cover on the book. The page that a picture and family name goes on was glued to the edges and I had to fight it for about 15 minutes. Once I got it out I had to trim two sides to get it back into the cover. I now have the name on and have to choose a picture for the cover.
I had purchased two Ancestry dot com identical pads of paper. I proceeded to remove all the pages and put the duplicates together. Then I started sorting the other identical purchases I had made. This will make it easier to identify what I have and what I need.
Archivers had a page the FAMILY in the lower left hand corner. It would have worked perfectly for the family group sheets, but with as many families in my genealogy I would need to purchase hundreds of pages. TOO MUCH $$$.
Will post more later.
Have a blessed day.

Initial post
This is a new blog that I will be using for my card making and scrap booking. I will post each project in first in first out.
I intend to add notes and recommendations from various teachers in areas on the side. This may take some time, but it will give me a place to check without going through a bundle of magazines and books.
When I figure how to attach a picture, I will put each project into the post.
Have a blessed day.
