National Scrapbook Day

I love scrapbooking and all things related (i.e., art journaling, mixed media, found objects and photography, just to name a few). I enjoy writing the stories I want to share with future generations, as well as the artsy part.

For National Scrapbook Day last year I spent about $100 to participate in an event at a nearby scrapbook store, but was not able to attend due to awful migraines. Yes, I did call and let them know I would not be able to make it; however, I never received my money back or heard another word about this (I received absolutely NOTHING for my $$) even though I contacted the store several times afterward, but was never able to speak to a live person, only a machine. Plus there was the Tim thing, which I won't even go into here. Needless to say, I no longer go to that store.

So, this year I'm going to try an on-line event and best of all - it's free!! I'll let you know later how this goes.

I have my scrapbook room/office torn apart at the moment trying to better arrange things and get rid of stuff I know I'll never use. It's been a herculean task so far and I'm NO WHERE near ready for today's challenges, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to learn something new today if nothing else.

I don't have many friends, well actually, none of my friends scrapbook, so I'm really looking forward to this afternoon's events at Big Picture Classes! Hope to meet some new friends while there.........

I also hope to join Kathy Orta @ Paper Phenomenon later tonight for her online class that starts at 8:00 my time!
