I'm working on . . .

I've been on a jewelry making jag the last couple of weeks, so my next page is going to be pictures of some pieces I've made. (not as cool as Kate's famous necklace, but not too bad I think) I just have to finish up a few things next weekend and then I'll be ready.



I wonder if I'm making the jewelry so I'll have an excuse to take pictures and scrap them, or if I'm planning a scrapbook page as an excuse to make jewelry. I feel sort of guilty somehow, like a scrapbook should be for memories of people and events, not just sort of bragging like "Look what I made! And look at the pretty papers I used!" Am I getting a bit weird here? I think it's the weather.


I don't think you are bragging. I think a scrapbook page can be an expression of ourselves and our memories as well as memories of people, places and events. Lots of scrappers finally reach a point where they start to make their BOM (Book of Me) I just think it takes longer for some reach that point than others. Sandy

You're cracking me up Luna... I'm picturing someone walking around with this album under their arm ambushing unsuspecting victims making them look at the scrapbook of cool things they've made.

I can see where you might think this, but I love having an album of things I made. 99% of the time it's for me to look through and reminisce about the things I've made. BUT every now and then someone will ask to see it and I let them... and yes I love showing off my handy work. Enjoy this album it's one of the few times you can enjoy something that "all about you!"

Don't feel guilty... feel crafty, Lynne

NO you are not weird! LOL I think feeling crafty doesnt always have to be scrapping. I make cards and ATC's and have done some altered things as gifts. I wish I had thought to take pictures of some of the things I have made. I dont have a BOM yet, but maybe I should start one! :-) Keep on crafting whatever you want! our craftiness CAN change with the weather! :-)

Have fun Luna, would like to see some of the pieces. I'd scrapbook them as that is a part of who you are and not weird at all.
