Topic: RE: Scrapbooking and card making

Hi everyone - I'm a scrapbooker and card-maker too and am planning on scrapbooking my journey.  I just ordered one of the new Bo Bunny notebooks just for the project! I'm planning to use one of the more Smash-type albums rather than standard scrapbooking so I can include things easily like doctor's reports, and other stuff.

Here is the first page about my decsion that I did as one of the assigments I had for a design team I am on:

Topic: RE: Yarn yarn yarn!

I'm mostly a crocheter, but I do a little knitting. I've always hoarded large-size pattens and now I've been looking through all my other patterns and thinking to myself - one day, in the not-too-distant future, I'll be able to make one of these for ME!   It's nice to know others out here that enjoy yarn crafts. I also enjoy working with thread and want to learn tatting.

There are bunches of free afghan patterns on the internet!  Just Google "free afghan patterns!"  I do it all the time and have found all kinds of nice patterns.  Also cat toys!  :)

Hi Phoebe....I am Jamie.  I am just beginning my bariatric surgery journey.  I am going to need some friends through this website because I don't think I am going to have a lot of support from my husband.  He says "why can't you just lose the weight?" 
I, too am a scrapper.....I just don't do it as often as I might like!  I am in the process of working on scrapbook for the little girl that i babysit.  i am doing her first year of life.  I think i worry too much about the lay out of the page.  i obsess over the layout WAY TOO LONG!!  Card making is also a love of mine.  Have you joined pinterest?  There are so many darling cards there.....lots of great ideas.

Hi!  I am just beginning my bariatric surgery journey.  I live in Peoria....where is Matteson?  How are you doing with your weight loss?  Are you glad that you did it?  Have you been able to keep it off?  I am not going to have much support so I am doing this on my own.  My husband doesn't think I should have the surgery....he thinks that I should "just lose the weight."

I totally know what you are talking about!  I would love to be able to spend hours scrapbooking, but I, too, get paralyzed.  i DO have a cricut but, I really haven't figured out everything it can do.  that too takes time, i guess!  I have even considering  becoming a stampin up rep just so I can get ideas and learn new techniques.

Hi Deb,

I also have the Viking SE abd love it, though it still intimidates the heck out of me.

I also bought the table I think you're talking about and it's awesome. It folds up nice and compact, but when you begin setting it up, which is a breeze, it provides a pretty large surface.
