All That Scrap For Me

I am having so much fun with my new online group Fancy Paper Crafters . We are up to 62 members and I am so thankful for all the support from my friends and family in creating this new group. I couldn't do it without them. I was in a different online group for quite some time and have recently had some poor experiences which led me to branch out and create a new group. It's really really difficult to know that you put your heart (and TONS of time) into something, only to have other folks criticize my actions and point fingers (and not to mention the gossip - holy cow - I thought we were adults?!). I just want to scrapbook and be able to talk to other people about papercrafting. Is that asking too much?? Whew, I feel better and thanks for listening :) ... hope to see you around the group! After tax season, I've got some big goals for the rest of the year and can't wait to start working on them! Happy Crafting :)

We had so much fun playing in the snow today!! We ran to Target and while we were in there, it started snowing. We came out to our car being completely covered and were very excited as it's been a while since we've seen snow. Although it's hard to see, this is Dan playing in the snow with our dogs, Freckles and Patches. The other picture was taken from the front porch of our house. It stopped snowing for a little while but has recently restarted. I'm hoping my work will be closed tomorrow as I do NOT want to drive in this mess! If you have to go out, please be safe! Maybe we'll get to build a snowman tomorrow before it all melts away! I'm sure my dogs would have fun barking at it!

Hello! Happy President's Day! I for one, love this day ... I'm off work! Woo-hoo! So, I thought what better way to spend the day than to start my own online social network for paper crafters. I've been a member of several different groups for a few years now and have finally ventured out on my own. If you're looking for a fun group to join, please go to Fancy Paper Crafters . Once we accumulate some members, we will have challenges, swaps, RAKs and more! Thanks for checking out my new group! Happy Crafting!
