The One with The End of Scrapbooking


Monday, April 1, 2013

After much thought and deliberation, pondering, thinking, and praying earnestly, I've decided that I need to give up scrapbooking. As much as I love having our precious memories preserved through this unique and joyful artform, it has simply become too time consuming, expensive, and it's taking over our house. I'm boxing everything up and selling it before our big move. I'm going to miss all the wonderful friends I've made and the therapy it provides, and hopefully in the future I can start up again. So. That's that.

APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!
There's no way I could ever give up scrapbooking - it's my favorite hobby :)
Although I am purging 90% of my supplies and only keeping "current" product. I call it "The Great Purge of 2013".

  11. You little trickster, you! For a split second, I thought about your move across the big pond and everything else you have going on but then it clicked. It would take more than that to keep you away from scrapbooking and there'd definitely be an uprising from all of us!!! Too funny.

  14. You totally got me. First it was shock, then it was...well they are moving. Then I figured it has to be so time-consuming to do those beautiful pages. Finally, I was like...I would love to buy some of that stash. Yep, you totally got me.
