sorry my fellow suzy's

life around here has been so crazy.
certainly no scrapbooking going on (GASP!)
i do have some pages i need to post.
hopefully tomorrow.
lately i've had time to keep up Small Smackerels
but not Suzy postings. I'm gonna try harder this week!
This is, however, what real scrapbooking is about though now isn't it?
Fitting it in when you have time and actually enjoying it while you're doing it.
When i was working in the scrapbook store I would often tell frustrated scrapbookers - if it's making you crazy, you're doing it wrong.
I really believe it.
Scrapbooking can be what you make it -
  • very elaborate with tons of embellishments
  • simple design
  • photo corners and labels with names and dates
  • journaling
  • no journaling
  • chronological or not
  • a store house for matchbooks, ticket stubs, maps and bar napkins ;-)

but it shouldn't be anxiety producing.

so that's where i'm at right now - on hold - til i can fit a few layouts in here and there.

hopefully i'll return tomorrow with some of those layouts i've already got photographed.

WORDS TO LIVE BY!!! i sooooo agree with you--and i'd apply that to all of crafting/artsing/hobbies! maybe even all of life! ...not that i can always *DO* the non-stressing part...!!! but i believe it!
