Hi Everyone!
I hope your weekend was wonderful! Mine was great!!
Saturday morning my husband and I put up new curtains in our living room. They turned out beautifully! I feel like we finally have an "adult" living room. (Now if we could just keep the kids out of it- LOL!)
Saturday afternoon, I spent several hours taking a class at my local scrapbook store- Memory Bound Scrapbook. I LOVE this store. Everytime I go, there is something new. The store is big and organized and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I could spend hours there!
The class I took was called " A Taste of Home Recipe Album". We made a cute 6"x6" album, using Kaiser Craft products, to hold recipes. The instructor, Janet, was wonderful and the other ladies in the class were so much fun!
Here's some pictures of my album:
I have to write up some recipes now and add them to the album. I also plan to make a couple more for Christmas gifts.
I have never made anything like this before. I was so proud of myself!
I took a Cricut class about 6 months ago, but have never taken any other type of crafting class. I was nervous to go because I'm really shy around people I don't know. The funny thing is- once I got there, I felt totally comfortable with the people around me. We all had a bond and a love for crafting and I felt right at home. If you're like me (very shy in social situations), I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and take a class or get involved in a crafting group. I am definitely going to try to find a group that I can get involved with- and take more classes.
I'm hooked!
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice card...hehe! It cracks me up every time! Looks like it was a really fun class! I LOVE the tag on the cookbook! They will make very nice gifts! I'm shy in real life too! It takes a bit for me to open up (which is why this bloggy thing amazes me, I'm such a blabber mouth here..hehe)! Congrats on your adult living room! I hope to get one of those again someday! I'm sick of using an oversized plush My Little Pony for an accent pillow on the couch! Have a good night!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe album turned out great. The class sounds like it was lots of fun. I wish I had a scrapbook store near me so I could take some classes.

Julie, this is fabulous! You did such a beautiful job and I was surprised that it was your first one. :o) The pages are gorgeous and I adore the hanging tags on the cover. Isn't it amazing how comfy you were at the class? The crafting community is extraordinary! :o)

Julie, Really cute Recipe book. The tags are perfect. I don't like to cook, but may make Recipe books for gifts...great gift idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. Funny how many of us are shy in person...I am the same way and keep saying I am going to take a class...soon...lol.
