When it gets that close

There is an article in the Somerset Life magazine (April/May/June edition) called "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Scraps" by Kelsi Maree Borland. This article defines me to a tee. I love scraps of paper, tags, clip art, old items.  I collect pieces in a cigar box now.

The story talks about this group where they meet and exchange scraps or create with the scraps. OH how I would love to get in a group like that. I am on a mission to find out if there is any local groups like that. I so want to meet more people like in this article. I love the people I meet in blog land but I still have not figured out how to communicate more with people. I would love to interact or do exchanges with others. If anyone has any recommendations, please send me a note. I would appreciate it very much. However, the article is wonderful and gives me much to dream about. A scrap creation waiting to happen.

Winter Sunday

It is cold outside and warm inside so what better place to be then surfing blogland. There is so much too see and learn that time just flies by. I am working on lots of projects and have new ones I would like to get to. But then I look at my desk. I love my paper scraps and have shown on previous post how they were all over. However, my desk is small and one of my new year goals was to be more organized. SO today I cleaned out the scraps and the ones I kept I put in a cigar box. Now they are still easy to access but contained in a small area. A good project to have completed today, thankfully. My list of top 5 thankful things today:

1. Cigar boxes
2. Never ending love for scrap paper
3. A warm home
4. A daughter that is growing up
5. Questions that sometimes just need time to answer

Have a great day.
