6 Pages

On Monday I recieved pictures in the mail that I had ordered and I could finally finish my mothers scrapbook. I started it 2 Christmases ago. Now I have finished 6 pages.

Accounting

Last summer I decided to try my hand at a home business doing accounting/bookkeeping. I have yet to find any clients, so I am putting this here if any of you know anyone looking for a bookkeeper in the Star Valley area. I graduated 4 years ago with a BBA in accounting and have Quickbooks 2008 for my recordkeeping. Please e-mail me for further information, simplescraps@yahoo.com. I will greatly appreciate your referals.

1 more page

Last night I was able to work on my 6x6 acrylic album thanks to my husband. He watched the kids while I scrapbooked. Here is the finished page. Maybe I'll be able to get more than one page done in a night next time. This is not the best pic.

January Workshop

Here are the picks for the workshop I am doing tonight. I used the Workshops on the Go--Aspen packet. I changed the base pages for the alternate pages to deseret sand from bamboo. Hopefully I will be able to get pics on them soon. I am going to add some pictures of our trip to Island Park to the first set and our recent sledding activities to the second set.

Mark 1 off my list

This past Thursday I went to my grandmother's and she taught me how to crochet. So I have completed one month of my project resolution. Yesterday I put my knowledge to work and finished a headband.

Goals for 2009

I have been inspired by my dear friend Jena to make some scrapbooking goals for 2009.

1- My first goal is to finish 2 pages a week for a total of 104. I am so far behind on my scrapbooking that maybe this will put a dent in it.

2- As part of this goal I am going to add pictures to the 40+ pages I have finished that I made for workshops and never adorned with pictures.

3- I am going to finish one project a month--January is sewing Kaia a dress and learning to crochet. Check back to see what the projects are in the coming months.

4- Start selling homemade items.

Getting back to work!

Last night some of my family came over and we had a scrapbooking night. We had a lot of fun and got some scrapbooking done. I worked on some thank you cards for everyone that helped us in December. I used the Aspen paper pack, bamboo twill ribbon, chocolate cardstock, feathery flakes stamp set, and sparkles. Now I just need to get them in the mail.

I made the next card for a friend in Kansas. I do not know quite who to thank for the snowman idea, but it is not my original idea. I have seen it on many craft blogs.

I finally started the 6x6 acrylic album I bought about 3 months ago. I finished one page last night. I used rub-ons, liquid glass, dazzling die cuts, and the Good Times L2 paper pack. Stay tuned for the rest to come.
