Just Sew It

Right after Christmas, I’m getting a start on an endeaver that will be a lot of work. I mean A LOT! With my mom, I will be making three, maybe four scrapbooks documenting my family’s life starting at my Grandparents journey to Canada. My mom, who is not a scrapbooker, will be in charge of the journaling and organizing all the photos. I will have my husband scan three copies and I will do the scrapping. This will put my sewing to a screeching halt in 2008. I have a trench coat which I want to finish during the holiday season. After that, my sewing machine will rest. I will miss her during that time but I may just pump out a summer dress in the Spring. Maybe.

I’ve been scrapping for 9 years and I’m up for a real challenge with this project. Each child in my family (my brothers and I) will receive a book. For my parents, we’ll probably work on a more detailed version of my parent’s childhood which will depend more on my mom’s participation. I want to give my brothers their book next Christmas.

So, to get my creative juices flowing again I have been doing some searches for some scrapbooking blogs. There are a lot out there. This blog by Candice Carpenter looks good. If you look under my blog roll you will see I added more scrapbooking blogs.
