Howdy! I am SOOO excited! Tomorrow is ComePlayEugene at Jill's house, one of the kindest and loveliest souls you will ever hope to meet. It's gonna be a full day of crafting, shopping, inspiration and hanging out with some super crafty chicks! Can't wait! And if heading out to this fun event wasn't enough, a roadtrip with with the one and truly Amy Hollands is also part of this deal! Amy is just fabulous so I'm super tickled to get to have her as my traveling partner-in-crime!! How did I ever get so lucky!?
It took me awhile to figure out what project I wanted to work on tomorrow. I registered for this event thinking that would motivate me to pull out my scrapbooking stuff and get that kicked into gear. But, um, no, that didn't happen. I started to go through some stuff but that just seemed like such a daunting task. It's weird because I totally consider myself a scrapbooker but it's been about...oh...five years since I've scrapbooked? Sheesh...there was a time when all I did was scrapbook! But somewhere in there, I discovered all these other artsy craftsy adventures and now I'm neck deep in NOT scrapbooking! So after much soul searching, I decided that tomorrow's project is gonna be another little souvenir book. This time it will be forArt Nest. I printed off some pictures to include...hey...now that I think about it, I guess I will be scrapbooking. Sort of. :-)
I'll leave you with just a few pictures of the things I'm taking tomorrow...supplies, giftie for Jill, and the bag of stuff for Show and Tell, all ready and waiting for the fun!
The pile...I am making myself leave the sewing machine home. I am only heading over to Jill's for the day, not for the week!!! If I brought any more than this, well, that would just be embarassing!
A few splashes of the supplies...
And hostess/thank you gift for dear Jill.
Oh also, I am SUPER excited and so proud of my sweet girlie, Miranda. Two poems she wrote were published in Portland Community College's annual publication, Alchemy! Way cool! Congratulations, girlie!!! When I get a chance, I'll type them out so you can read them. They're just gorgeous!
Take care...and hope you have a beautiful day!
Sounds fun! I know what you mean about scrapbooking. I totally consider myself a quilter, but the last quilt I finished was years ago. I find there is a big overlap between scrapbooking and other art/craft forms anyway.

I just took out the years supply of kits that I have purchased and plan on digging into them tonight to get some layouts done. I am a scrapper that has discovered altered and mixed media art :) Love that decorated bag and that bag of ivory stuff is lovely!
