Winners

You know at the end of the day...........things might get a little silly. But we sure had fun. That was Saturday at my Junk Paper Journal Workshop. I didn't manage to get many photos but at the end I pulled out my little Flip and here you are. I'm sorry a few were not in there spot and so I didn't get everybody.


The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie where the workshop was held is unbelievable. You just cannot imagine the line of products that Carolyn stocks. I took my friend Susan with me and after one quick stroll through she said, "I think I'm in heaven"......and mumbled something about glad she had her credit card.

Carolyn schedules various fun classes on Saturdays and you can look at the "event" page at her web site to check that out. One event coming up in a couple of weeks that Susan and I hope to go back for is the Canvas and Metal Art class given by Cheryl Darrow of TENseconds studio. What a fun person Cheryl is.

Thank you Carolyn and Sherri for having me on your event schedule. I hope I get to come back soon......maybe with a face painting class.

  9. Oh how funny. I just finished making something like this yesterday! I didn't bind it yet,as I'm going to use a Bind-it-all the kids gave me for Christmas and I don't have the right size rings. I thought it would be small, but I kept adding pages! I'll post pics when I bind it.

  10. I am smiling this morning as I think about the junk paper journalks. I see that lately I am looking and looking at paper, a whole new way to look and see things of possibilities. I have saved papers for ages, before I even starting collage in a serious manner. So much like my mother who lived in the depression era and saved things like that, of course for different reasons. Things looked special tho tied up in brown paper or used paper with strings that had been saved. These things has intrigue also.

    I did drop by to say how much the word EXPECT has impacted my thoughts during the day, it is therpy and I think as we encounter our problems and successes we need to use EXPECT. It gives me much
    motivation. I have always had those feelings, just never put that great word into the thought process. Emelie
