I have been collecting scrapbook supplies for years with the intent to scrapbook all my pictures.  I have only finished 1 album with 3 or 4 unfinished sitting around.  Last year I got into making "gifty" items.  It was not going so well until I ran across a blog - kerryspapercrafts.com.  Kerry has a video for most of her projects she posted - step by step instructions explaining how to put each item together.  I finally knew what tools I needed to make them stay together and look nice!  She has also posted links to other blogs of people doing the same thing that I checked out.  So now I am working on making each item my own design, and using up all this paper stuff I have collected.

I am starting out with these post-it note holders.  They are so much fun!  I want to make different themes - holidays, teacher gifts, sports, kids, and everyday designs.

Day 1

My goal is to have a craft booth ready to go by spring of 2011.  I wanted to set up this blog to document my journey along the way.  So here we go... first step is to figure out how to set up a blog.  It has been challenging, but I think I have it down now.  My background is from thecutestblogontheblock.com - they have all kinds of different themes.  As my husband will tell you, I get a kick out of changing our backgrounds on the computer - I am sure I will do the same with the blog.  I will be posting pictures of my projects as I go.  I am so excited to get started!
