Scrapbooking, Anyone?

[Marisa]

Hey, Anyone interested in getting a scrapbook day together? I noticed someone was a "Leaving Prints" instructor but I can't remember who it was now, sorry. Even without an instructor it might be fun to have a MDO.

[jellybeanmichelle]

I'm interested. I usually buy Creative Memories stuff.

[LMS]

i'm interested. I buy whatever i see that i like. most of my scrapping has been digital lately.

[Marisa]

A lot of my stuff is Creative Memories too b/c Mandie (teaguemommy) used to sell it. I actually never heard of leaving prints before this board and I happened to see it on someone's signature (darn memory). It wouldn't have to be a "sponsored" event. I'm too broke to buy anything else anyway. But it would still be fun.

[LMS]

yeah, we could juist have a mini-retreat for an afternoon or something. Snacks and scrapping :)

[meeg124]

There is a local Yahoo Egroup for scrapbookers and one of the ladies is getting together a scrap day on September 30th. It's free and from 9:30 to 5:30 (I think is the end time). She is asking that people help set up or take down and bring a snack to share. The name of the egroup is Sonoma County Scrappers, if you want to check it out here is a link http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sonomacountyscrappers/

Cool, Megan, thanks!

I'm the LP instructor. :) We're a relatively new company (less than 4 years old!). :) So, yes, I scrapbook! :) I'd love to get together and scrapbook, but I have so much crap that it overwhelms me and I don't know what to bring. :)

[Marisa]

Barb: I thought that was you... I'm not crazy, you just changed your signature line, right? I'd be curious to see what you guys have. Like I said, Mandie used to do CM but it got a little pricey and she had to let it go because she couldn't meet the quotas on just our habits. She could also probably show you some organization tools for all your stuff. She is what you call born organized. I only wish I had a scrapbook setup like her!

I think I'll have to post a poll for a date that would work for everyone.... Coming soon.

I have a Creative Memories baby book if anyone is interested. It is white with raised white booties on the cover, very nice. My SIL gave it to me and I have yet to put anything in it. I have another book that I use, so this one is just sitting here. First person to say they want it gets it :) I can bring it to MNO on Saturday.

[barb]

Hi Marisa,

Nope, I didn't have a link in my signature. :) I try not to advertise on other people's sites without permission. But, my link is listed under the "prizes you can win" thread for SCM's first birthday. :)

My website is Barb Scraps (http://www.barbscraps.com). It'll be going down tomorrow (8/11) around 2pm until Monday morning (8/14) because the company is upgrading our system and the sites. :)

barb: feel free to include it in your sig ;)

[daisydoc]

I've never really been able to get into the whole scrapbooking thing! Maybe I just haven't been with the right crowd! (the only person I know who's really into it is my hubby's sister and we don't exactly get along more tan we have to, kwim? ;) )Whenever y'all plan a get together to do scrapping I willcome and see if I can change my wary ways! :)

[jellybeanmichelle]

Sara - How much do you want for that white CM scrapbook?
I'll be happy to take it, if you want to give it up.
I'll be at MNO too.

[Sara]

I am giving it away. It has been sitting in my office taking up space for 3 years now and I am happy to get rid of it. I will bring it then.

[LMS]

saara & Michelle: yall are coming saturday? Just double checking for a seat count.

[Sara]

I'll be there, can't wait :)

[LMS]

yay, sara! That's so exciting :) Can't wait to get to meet you

[daisydoc]

I'm glad you're coming Sara! It's always exciting to meet new moms! :)

[GeorgiasMama]

I am a scrapper here!! actually I did 10 pages this weekend. yay!

Kelly

[daisydoc]

Kelly: OMG! how do you find the time and space free from small hands to do 10 pages in a weekend?!?! Sevannah will be 2 1/2 on Spet 1 and I haven't even started her book! LOL I have it... and it's been great at collecting dust!

[GeorgiasMama]

hahaha ummm key times like NAP! and late night. I am a late night scrapper for sure.

[GeorgiasMama]

Hey would anyone be up for a challenge? like a weekly one? let me know if you want I can start one up. I LOVE challenges

[Marisa]

Kelly: Even with naps and late nights I can't get that much done! That's amazing.
Like you, Anna, I have Brianna's book and everything I want to *eventually* put in it collecting dust in a box. At least it's all together...
That's why I want to have a scrap-day. I'm thinking September because for the next couple weeks DH is working out of town so we need our weekends! I'll keep you all posted. I'm open to suggestions too.

[GeorgiasMama]

Sept. is good for me. we don't have any plans. unless Georgias ballet is on a saturday again. but then its in the mornings.

[KaisaG]

I would also be very interested in doing a day of scrapbooking... I buy all the stuff to do it but have no idea how to do it (silly I know!) I'd like to make a scrapbook for my son Emanuel before all my memories are lost with my mommy-brain!

[becky]

That sounds liek fun. I have all my scrapping stuff but can never seem to sit down and do it. For me it is just easier to design stuff on the computer rather than scrapbook but i would love to work on it.

[GeorgiasMama]

well I am in Sonoma and home most of the time.. I am willing to have some girls come over and scrap, until we get an actual crop day set up. bring the kiddos we can have a scrappin' play date!

[Marisa]

OK, Gals! Tomorrow's the big scrap attack! Who's with me?? :anyone

[daisydoc]

We're leaving for a family thing in Cloverdale sometime between noon and 2pm so if it's more towards the 2pm time I'll try to stop by for a bit just to say hi!

[KaisaG]

I should be there too... Not sure what time. I have a coupld of family things that to do today... But I told my husband that I was going :smile

[becky]

Its Kayla's birthdya today so I can't make it. I hope you all have a wonderful time.

[KaisaG]

Marisa & Mandie,

Thanks so much for getting me past my brick creativity wall... I feel like I can really start doing this again now!! :banana Yeah!!! I have a start to his scrapbook I am so excited!! Thanks so much :woohoo

[Marisa]

Kaisa, It was really great to meet you. I'm so glad you came! Anytime you want to scrap, me and Mandie are usually up for it so let us know. Plus when I dig my crap out of storage eventually I have a really cool binder that has idea pages that you're welcome to borrow.:scrapbooking
