MDA Crop 2014!

On Saturday I attended the 11th Annual MDA Fundraising Crop! On this day each year scrapbookers from all over gather together to scrapbook, spend time with friends and raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This year we raised over $23,000!!!! It was a wonderful day (as always!) and I'm proud to be a part of such a great event! I didn't get a whole lot accomplished because I was busy chatting and bidding on auction items but below is what I managed to get done :) I also included a couple snapshots of the event.

4th of July with Tommy Paper

I made this page using CTMH Tommy paper, Artiste cart, Artbooking cart and Pinwheel stamp set. Initially I was hesitant to use the Tommy paper because of the sea theme but the red and blues fit perfect.

My new Craft Room

My hobby started out in a bag and whenever I wanted to scrapbook I would have to pull everything out on the kitchen table and when I was done pack it all away. All the work involved in the set up and tear down made it so I didn't scrapbook nearly as often as I would have liked. About 5 years ago I set up a corner in our downstairs and that increased my productivity because I was able to keep my stuff out. But the downstairs felt isolated from everyone and also it was very cold down there in the winter. So it was better but not yet perfect.

 Recently my oldest daughter moved out and we had a room open up suddenly. I began dreaming of having my own craft room! My husband has been a gem and helped make my dream a reality!! He painted the room, cleaned the carpets, hung curtains and helped move furniture. I am so pleased with the results!! I still have lots of ideas for better organization and such but for now I am just so tickled to finally have a Craft room!!!

Spring Retreat 2014

I have been scrapbooking for many, many years. Sometime I wonder if I still want to continue. It seems the art is dying and it is definitely a huge commitment to keep up. But after my past weekend, being with my scrapbooking sisters, aweing over their pages, their LIFE and mine I remember why I love scrapbooking so much! It’s all about preserving these precious memories. It’s all about celebrating the wonderful life that God has blessed me with. I honestly could not ask for anything more!

Hope you enjoyed looking at my pages!
