My First Scrapbook Crop Night

I've always wanted to go to one of those crops that they have at scrapbook shops, etc. but time never really allowed for it. I'd dreamt of scrapbooking into the wee hours of the morning. So, when I was approached by our pastor's wife to work with her to host one at our church for our ladies ministry I thought HECK YEAH!

So there we were lost in paper, adhesives, embellishments and 3 Cricuts having a ball. It was supposed to last from 5 PM to midnight but I called Delmar at 12:30 AM to let him know that some of us were staying a little longer. I got home at 2 AM!!! I was so wired, I didn't get to sleep until after 3! Of course, I was dog meat all day on Saturday but it was so worth it. Tori and I were actually supposed to go to the Assembly Hall in Champaign for Chris Cringle but we decided not to go.

We decided that we are going to try to get together once a month and scrap as a group. YEAH!!!

Here are some pictures of the night. I'm going to post my pages after I get the pictures on them.

Also, not sure why but I'm missing pictures of 2 of the other ladies that were there...I'll get them next time.

Typical Monday...

can't get motivated to do the things that need to get done, so I thought I would work on this for a bit. I've started several blogs in the past that I have failed to follow thru on. But thanks to the inspiration of Erin and others who have blogged before me, I feel I am in a place to perhaps follow thru this time.

I plan to use this as a journal of sorts. To put my thoughts in writing regarding anything that may be going on in my life on any given day. This includes, but is not limited to: my daughter Emily, my husband Delmar, weight loss, scrapbooking, church, my friends, the list could go on, but you get the idea...

Dance is tonight but Delmar is taking Emily so I can go out for dinner with my friend, Tori (to Olive Garden by the way!) before we go to church for a meeting. Can't wait for those breadsticks!
