I'm scrapping my weight loss as well ... its been quite therapeutic or me --- saying good by to the old me and watching a new me emerge.
I'm also a huge scrapbooker and card maker. I used to be a SU demonstrator, but retired about a year ago so I could focus on some other things in my life. I am now starting to scrapbook my WLS journey, and still cleaning up from making all my Christmas cards.
Have a great day!

I used LED Xmas lites to place into liquor or other bottles for decorative appeal. I have a large clear vase with 60 mutli colored lites, and a etched brandy bottle on my fireplace mantle in my front room. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm299/ragdolldude/vase.jp g shows one of them. I find it relaxing to work on these. These LED lights run cool, lose a lot less electricity than standard mini lights. I've made about 30 of these in the past year, and suprisingly I've not broken one bottle when drilling a hole for the electrical cord. I just ordered some remote outlets from a shopping channel. It has a master remote, that controls 4 different electrical outlets. This will make it convenient to turn off lights without fumbling behind furniture to find inline switch or unplugging extension cords. DAVE

I got into scrapbooking when my son was only 7 months old, and I've been addicted ever since! My son will be 5 in February and he has poosed for more poictures then I can count. I started dabbling in stamps and cardmaking and now I spend more time making cards then scrappin' memories.
Are there any books that you would recommend for a beginner?
But in the mean time, here's a link with some trash to crafts you can check out that I have used also.
