My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for the ‘Scrapbooking’ Category

I have a long list of crafts that I want to make, if only I had time! This part time job, ach rules my life right now. If only the hours were for earlier in the day, then I think I could find the time to craft!

My list:

Knit items

socks (just about have the first pair done, so excited!)
baker sock monkey
stuffed elephant
hats
fingerless gloves/mitts
slippers
sweater (style to be determined)

Scrapbooking

Get caught up, with what pictures I have printed thus far, then to tackle the thousands upon thousands that need to be printed.

Jewelry

Button bracelet (saw on Pinterest)

One day I will be able to just sit and craft!

I have got to get back into scrapbooking. I have lots of photos that I have already printed, but there or so many more to be printed. And let me tell you when I say many, I mean many! Like a boker, bokou (or however you say that word, LOL) amount! I am thinking about just printing them off and just put them into some photo albums like I have done in the past, but ones that archival safe, as I just don’t really have the time to do the actual scrapping.

Its a shame that I have let it go this long, as it has put me in the blah kind of mood to scrapbook. I used to be caught up, and was up on all of the tools, like: spyderco knife, and all of the other fun tools that they have out there. Now, not so much. I think the last time I actually scrapped a page was over a year ago, if not longer. I was listening to some gals at work talking about all of the fun new things that they have now, and I think I heard them say something about a gerber knife or something like that.

So with this being the first of the year, when everyone is making out their resolutions, I am going to silently make mine and try to fit in a time to scrapbook, once a month, or at least every other month. I got to get on top of this, or I will be forever drowning in photos!

…are really not flowing in my house lately! I need, no want to get back into scrapbooking, but I just don’t have the motive to do this right now. I would love to work on some holiday invitations, as well as some knitting, that I could use in some upcoming craft shows, but I just don’t seem to have the energy to do this.

I have been talking so much about how I want to be able to earn some extra money by selling my crafts, but I just seem to be doing only the “talking”, and not the actual work of getting these said items completed, so I can indeed get to the craft shows! I have had all summer to work on stuff, but just don’t. What has been my biggest interference? The computer and all of the stupid games on FB right now! I am obsessed! Its gotten out of control!

Time to reign myself in and get the creative juices aflowing again! If you see me on FB to much, give me a gentle nudge and remind me of all the other stuff I should be doing!

I am on the hunt for anything Minnie Mouse. I have a birthday party to go to next weekend for a special little girl. Right now she is all about Minnie Mouse. I am hoping to find some toys r us coupons so I can go shopping there for a gift. I’m all about coupons and scoring a great deal!

I have some scrapbook stuff that I am going to try and make a cute card. I am rusty on this, as its been a while since I have scrapped. I have a pattern for a small purse, that I would love to find the right material with Minnie on it to make her one, just not sure if I want this to be my first sewing project like this.

It would be the smaller one at the bottom. She could use it more so as a diaper bag for her babies, as opposed to a purse. I could fill it up with cute little things I find from Toys r Us! Oh the fun of shopping for little girls!!

I have been asked if I could help make some name tags for a friends church function coming up in a few weeks. I told her I would try, but right now my creative juices aren’t just working. Everything I think up in my head, when I go to actually make it, it just doesn’t turn out how I have it pictured! I think I have taken way too much time off of working on scrapbooking things!

I need to have a scrapbook weekend party to get back into the groove of things! Then maybe I can get these tags done, and actually start making a dent on the thousands and thousands of pictures I need to get into scrapbooks!
