HI Trish - Get your friend to teach you when you two have free time. You'll find yourself looking at every bit of paper you come across in a new way. Sheryl

Anyone living in the mid-Atlantic region: May 7 will be a special scrapbooking day at QVC near Philadelphia. The first session is sold out but the afternoon/evening session is still open. They have classes and there will be an audience show with Lisa Bearnson from Creating Keepsakes. If you are interested, go to the QVC website, customer service and then special events. Hope to see some of you there. Cheryl

Ours (northern California) had redid their scrapbook section last summer, and had a great selection. But I was in their about a week ago, and they had very little stuff. Not sure if they are getting rid of it, or just low on supplies. Their prices are always much better than the scrapbook stores. DeeDee

Well, I finally found my muse & was able to start my WLS scrapbook. It is an 8"x8" album that I bought at Target. My angel, Kimberly, came over yesterday afternoon, and we scrapped like there was no tomorrow! I don't have my most recent pictures developed yet, so I worked on my layouts & I'll add the pics later. I got 4 layouts done - but I am NOT a fast scrapbooker. I am far too anal to be bothered by quickness - LOL! Plus, I have jillions of supplies, so it's hard to narrow it down to what papers / embellishments I want to use. I had bought a small sheet of tags from a sb store that listed (just titles) what my goals are: for my body, my mind, my spirit, my relationships, to help others & my career. Those are the pages I did. Of course, I haven't done any journaling. Maybe I'll try to scan the pages I did if anyone would like to see them. Julie
