Now you!

A friend (and craft business colleague!) just launched a great new e-book - Everything About Paper. Vera Raposo also owns and operates Scrappers Talk Radio - an internet radio show just for scrappers!

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I am just not a scrapper. I tried and have completed seven or eight pages. My problem (other then the ‘fact’ that pictures belong in an album in order that they were taken ) is I don’t leave enough room for journaling. And that is what scrapping is all about right? Leaving words and pictures for future generations.

I am interested in a time capsule scrapbook - I’ll have to find the video to share on here, but my friend Marie made a video showing her time capsule book and wow what a great idea! Marie is going to be one of the first guests on my new craft podcast and we’ll be talking about her scrapbooking ideas.

Check out the Everything About Paper ebook, learn everything you can about paper and share your scrapbook pictures so we can all see what you have accomplished.

I’m having such a hard time right now. Or rather, since moving to the laptop. I do love it. I love being downstairs and being online. I love that I managed to move just about everything over to this machine very easily.

I’m having a hard time because I can’t find my cd for my digital camera. And though I found the software for it online, my computer refuses to recognize it. Whenever I plug the camera in there appears to be zero pictures on it, when I know there are quite a few. All that means is I have to go to the desktop to get the pictures off the camera, tweak them, and then add them to flickr so I can come back to my laptop, download from flickr and then post to my blog. All in all a boring process!

I’m working on it though because I’ve fallen in love with Polly Pocket toys, we tried to grow a crystal and I got new stamps!

I love, love, love these new stamps and can’t wait to get started. I need to make my Easter cards and I am using the new stamps so I need to get them cut and mounted. I got the cutest Easter stamps and can’t wait to get them done as tomorrow will probably be a very full crafty day!
