Scrapbook Therapy

I really think this scrapbooking therapy thing works.  I spent Saturday scrapbooking with some girlfriends and I feel so much better today.  I'm convinced we all need a hobby and a great group of people to share it with. That's how I make it through all of the tough times. 

Caryn, thanks for hosting. Kat, Joy and Natalie I totally enjoyed myself. Thanks for cheering me up.

Cheap Therapy

When I am feeling sad or down I always try to do something to cheer myself up. A few of my favorites things are listening to Michael Jackson music (which always cheers me up), cuddling with my dog, and scrapbooking with my friends. This past Saturday was just one of those days. I needed some serious cheering up, so my darling friend Lisa Renee came to my rescue. I had such a wonderful time hanging out with her. I felt so much better after a whole day of "girlfriend therapy."

Weekend Challenge

Lately I've been feeling a little blah, like my mojo is gone. The fact that my football team lost this weekend didn't help any. I did, however, muster up enough energy to create this card for Weekend Challenge #2 on Scraps of Color. We had to create a Valentine's Card using non-traditional colors. We weren't allowed to use red, pink, purple or black. Hope you like it.

Altered Journal

I just love altered projects! I like finding new uses for old things and I get great excitement from making beautiful things out of ordinary, not so pretty things. 


This year one of the things I've committed to is journaling. I've found that writing is helping me better understand my feelings. Anyway, the journals I find in the stores are not very pretty or they are way too expensive.  So check this out. I found this journal in the Michael's dollar bin and I am kicking myself for not buying more.  I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I made this one for a male friend, but the possibilities are endless!

Card Creations

I had such a great time this weekend with my scrapbooking club "NYC & me". This was our first meeting of the new year and the first since our regular meeting place closed. We have so much fun together, talking and laughing, it's a miracle we ever get anything done. Amazingly though, I completed a few Valentine's Day cards. I created these as a response to the Weekend Challenge on Scraps of Color. The challenge was to create a Valentine's card using the colors Black/White and Red. Hope you like them. 

Check back next weekend for challenge #2.

After Christmas Sale

I almost forgot to go to Michaels today for their sale on Cricut cartridges. But I just got back and look what I bought for $42.

Unfortunately, only 2 cartridges, but for 9.99 a piece I am pretty happy. I got tons of bling, felt Christmas stickers, paper flower brads, cards, clear stamps and board books. So cool!
