News on the forum front...

Well, life is pretty boring in my gigantic forum world I joined. I actually think it's TOO big. I posted a couple of things and responded to a couple of things, got a few responses, but overall, I was pretty bored with it. I guess if I had the time to log in every day and become "friends" with these people, it would have been better, but I had a hard remembering to go on, and then finding the time. And it really truly is like a sorority and I did not feel entirely welcome. They politely answered my questions and that's about it. O well. One experiment down, on to a new adventure!

On the positive side, the scrapoholic in me discovered a new site to look at fun scrapping things and possibly make a purchase or two. I get a weekly "deal" email from the site and they offer ALOT of stuff. Not that I need anything...see previous post..but one can always window or "web" shop, right? BTW-I'm almost done organizing the scrappin' joint (my new name for my bench)..it's turning out pretty nice! :) I'll try to post new pics this weekend (after my last technology class, which, by the way, is tomorrow and I haven't even STARTED the projects that are due tomorrow). Maybe I needed to find a procrastinators forum?!?!?!?!?

Gettin a jump on Spring Cleaning

Hey all- well, today I actually scheduled a day for "scrapbook area clean-up". Take a look at these pics and you'll see why.....



Part of my issue is I am a total scrapoholic. I have admitted before that I had an illness and it has gotten totally out of hand. I cannot believe that I even have a desire to buy more stuff! The other issue is that this are also serves as my "office" space, it's where I store all of my school stuff, my personal things, and family paperwork. So, you can (hopefully) see how this small space can become crowded quickly, especially when you don't take the time to keep it up! So, that's where I stand right now. I've been working for about 2 hours now and this is what is looks like. (Believe it or not, it was actually worse when it started!) I'l be sure to post more pics when it is finished and beautiful once again! :)

P.S. Not much happening in the "forum" world. I posted a few things and haven't gotten any response. It is a very large forum and apparantly some of the people have been on there for years and they all know each other...it's kind of like trying to break into a high school clique right now. But, I'll keep plugging away and see where it gets me!

Scrapbook.com!

Hello again! I mentioned in my last post that I joined a web forum called scrapbook.com, and boy did I get more than I bargained for! This website is not only a forum for discussion, it's a SUPER store (overwhelmingly huge), a discount spot, and a great place for tips and ideas. I logged in for a bit today and got a little overwhelmed with the offerings, in a good way. I particularly enjoyed one post called "each one, teach one", where one member posted all the links she could find to great tips for jsut about anything scrapbooking. There is something in there for everyone-all your questions answered. I loved it so much I made it one of my favorites. If you would like to see my "place", it's at www.scrapbook.com and my user name is "justaddyou", which happens to be the same name as my etsy shop. Anyways, i got a little excited and decided to blog about it, and now I'm signing off because I'm sick and I wanna go lay down. have a great weekend!
