OT: If you could scrap with anyone

Kate asked:

My mom or grandmothers; none of them are around any more to share my albums with.

Alicia

You're right, Alicia. Think of the journaling..........I wish I could remember more of the stories they told. Sandy

I would love to scrap with my Grandmother who died when I was 16, if she could see my 2 boys and my brand new baby girl she would love it!! She was my best friend, I was closer to her than I was my own mother. But since her death I have become best friends with my mom, and now she and I are closer than ever. I also wish My mother's mother was alive. She died when my mom was 12, so I never met her, and my mom never even really knew her. It would be nice to know who some of the people are in the pictures my mom is scrapping with now. It would be alot of fun to know the stories behind alot of the pictures.

Now if I could scrap with a celeb! It would have to be Demi Moore, I want the scoop on Bruce and Ashton...lol Love them both!!

Does it have to be just one? :-) I'm looking forward to scrapping with my mom. She just finished her first brag book! So I'm looking forward to enabling her along. :-) But I also love to scrap with MC & Kenda. It's wonderful to have scrappers so close, but somehow we never find the time! They're both such talented scrappers and give great ideas!

I'm on the grandma bandwagon as well. My maternal grandmother had the best stories and of course I don't remember them all. But if you're speaking live celebrities, I'd like to scrap with Oprah! I like her attitude towards life and I think it would be a whole lot of fun to see the world through her eyes doing something as pwesonal as scrapbooking!

Great topic Kate! :) I think with my two best friends from childhood, Annette and Ilse, if I can get them so far as to start. I think we would have a hoot and would reminice (sp?) more than actually scrap, but it would be great fun. My fav celeb .....hmmm...can I scrap with Johnny? *looks at Sabrina* ;) No seriously...I think Shania Twain or Sheryl Crow would make great scrap buddies - they look down to earth and "real" to me.

Ooo good thread Kate.

Well like lots of the rest of you I would like to be able to scrap with my Nan. She told great stories when we were growing up about her Aunt and Cousin and her and I would like to have met them as well but never did. I remember some of the tales my Nan told me but I have forgotten even more I know.

I dont really have the urge to scrap with any famous people but like to with some of my online friends some day.

:-)

My first thoughts were Betsy Ross or Maya Anjelou (sp?) then felt bad thinking my Great Grandma would be great too. I remember her covered wagon story and the sunburned ankles and all the trouble she and her sister got into for being so immodest and showing off their feet and ankles.

I would also love to scrap with my mother, who loved to put pictures in albums with cute captions when she was younger (for which I'm very grateful now), but never learned about embellishments or background papers. She would have LOVED them! But I'd also love to scrap with either or both of my daughters, who will "ooh" and "ah" over my layouts and cards, but as for getting them to sit down and work???... Oh well.. I do have a granddaughter (who just turned 6) to teach...

Love all the numerical coincidences!

My grandmother had 9 children born between 1912 & 1928. She would've been about 42 when her youngest was born.

How cool! With that egg, tho, I hope you don't live in earthquake country.

Alicia

Hmmm. Now, what made me think of you two earlier?

Alicia

Lucky you Alicia! I love that movie! He's got a small role in that, but just great as a Gypsy!! Oh I just have to see that movie again. The scenary in there was also to die for! :)

Judy, SA

I think I would like to scrap with Becky Higgins ! Woo... could I ever learn a lot from that gal! But ya know if I could scrap with anyone... would want to scrap with all of my RCS friends! Wouldn't that be a hoot?!!

Oh Alicia, I wanted to watch that but my basketball "madness" over takes my sanity at this tim of yar. LOL

If I could scrap with anyone I would probably choose to scrap with my Mum, or my maternal grandmother, who died when my Mum was 11 years old! For me scrapbooking is a personal, sharing thing, so I am currently encouraging my daughter (30) by showing her what I am doing and giving her hints and tips on papercrafting in general. I have already got her making cards and although limited in time she makes a great job! A few weeks ago bought her a inexpensive A4 scrapbook kit and some paper and she has sorted out most of her photos, so she is getting there :o) I have to be careful with her as she is raising her two kids alone, so is financially stretched and scrapping can be expensive. If she sticks to A4 we can do a lot of the stuff she needs on the PC and printer.

You know Sabrina I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't it be fun if we could all gave in one place once a month and scrap. Maybe someday like in Star Trek we could beam ourselves to crops. hehe

Celebrity wise I'd have to say, "How about Dolly?". I'd love to meet Dolly Parton, but I don't think we'd get much scrappin' done. She just appears to be so down to earth and to enjoy talking and I'd love to do the listening. I'm sure she'd have me busting a gut too. LOL

Reality wise, I'd love more than anything to be able to have a weekend getaway and giant crop w/ all my rcs friends. It was actually done a few years ago but I was too new to the group to attend. Although we didn't do any cropping I had fun meeting April, M-C, Kenda, Jean & Dave in OKC last fall.

Dolly Parton, but I don't think we'd get much scrappin'

and I'd love to do the listening. I'm sure she'd have me >busting a gut too. LOL

A friend of mine happened to end up sitting next to her on a cross-country flight a couple of years ago. Said she's very nice, & friendly. He was impressed.
