April 25, 2007 Crazy Scrappin' Days!!

OK, so, am I crazy? I have been making pages for the Scrapbooker of the Year contest through Creating Keepsakes Magazine. It requires 20 scrapbook pages and a one page essay. Then, mom calls me this morning to tell me that Martha Stewart is having a contest for the Master Scrapbooker. So, I decide to enter that one too, luckily I had a page already made that I wanted to enter. Then, I just finished my first of the series of Japanese scrapbooks. I still have 3 more with the Japanese theme to do and then I get to start on his life after Japan! Scrapbook overload. And, to top all of that off, I am teaching classes at Scrap-A-Doodle. So, there is some prep work required for that too

Martha!!!
I know, I know, a lot of people don't like Martha and I realize that most of her ideas on the show come from her creative staff and others, but, I really enjoy her show and most of the ideas that she shares. Besides, you know those cooking shows on TV, do you think Emeril made up ALL of those recipes himself? Anyhow, my point was that I am so excited about her new line of scrapbooking supplies at Michael's. I have visited the store several times to see if they have the planagrams set yet. I even offered my former manager to come in just to set the planagram myself so I could see everything first. She just laughed because she knows that I would spend more time opening the boxes just to see what was in them!!!

Marc and I are planning on heading to Hood River next weekend for a hunter's ed convention. I am so looking forward to having some time alone, the boys are spending the weekend at mom and dad's. Marc will be in classes most of the day so that leaves me time to relax and/or shop!! I need to do a little research on scrapbook stores nearby! I am looking for a good book to take, if you have any suggestions leave me comment.
