Finally got around to scrapbooking this.

Winter Essentials
Somewhere on the web I saw a scrapbooking challenge to scrapbook your winter essentials.
Here’s my list so far:
* Hot Tea & Hot Chocolates
* Scarves and beanies
* Gas Heater
* Blankets
* Slippers
* Jigsaws
* Soup
I’ll be sure to post the page when I complete it. Tomorrow I plan to take some more photos. Might even scrapbook it if I have time.
Scrapbooking with Friends
Had a lovely day Friday. 5 girlfriends came over to scrapbook (some knitted). We chatted and caught up with one another. Had such a nice time. One of the school mums joined us for the first time. She fitted in just fine and couldn’t stop saying how much she enjoyed it – it was her first time scrapbooking in a group. We have these days every second Friday. I’m really pleased with the pages I got done and am feeling the creative juices returning again. Here’s a few I did.
What is FUN?
The July challenge for my Heidi Swapp scrapbook course focus is FUN!!!! What fun means to us and how WE ARE fun. Personally I don’t think I am very fun. I used to be. As a teenager I was the life of the party. I think as I got older (and more overweight) I started worrying more what people will think. I remember a year or so back I was in the pool with the kids – normally I just float around, but this day I played with them and they just thought it was so wonderful. We had FUN. Normally I just don’t do things like that. I’d love to, but something holds me back. I do try and do fun things with the girls, we ride our bikes, go to the beach, but more often them not they are having FUN and I am watching them have FUN. I very rarely participate. So while I love doing this and it brings me a lot of pleasure it’s not really FUN. Last Sunday when I spent time with Kevin and the girls was FUN. Our holiday to Mexico and DIsneyland was FUN (I’m using photos from this trip for the layout). It’s obvious to me in writing this the FUN is in the doing, not the watching. I guess that where I need to focus – doing more with the girls, and with Kevin, and with my friends.
