Day 53 - Scrapbooking on QVC

I knew Lisa was going to be on QVC from 6-8pm so I got up a little early to watch. I always love it when she's on there with David because they are such good friends and funny together. The product I took a picture of is the only thing I ordered. There are 18 prepackaged pages to put together. It makes it so easy when you are just wanting to get some pictures down and move on. Everything you need to make these are in baggies and they give you an instruction booklet....how easy is that.

Below are my older photos that I keep in my Grandma's old chest. Because of taking the Library of Memories class again, I've managed to get all these organized by year and everything is marked. I've even gotten one album that was a "magnetic" album undone so I can keep those pictures safe. I still have a couple more of those old, icky, unsafe albums to go through, but I'm on my way. Pictures from 1973 to the present day are completely ORGANIZED!!!

Day 47 - Library of Memories Class

The "Library of Memories" class started today at BigPictureScrapbooking.com. I took this class last year and got a lot of it implemented, but stopped when they got to the memorabilia stuff. It was free to alumni this year, so I signed up again. I am trying to tweak my system a little and hoping to finish it all the way through. I'm updating some of the stuff with a few new ideas Stacy has and am looking forward to the next 4 months. Right now we are sorting photos and putting them in storage binders. I've got all my photos from 2002 through the present done and am thinking about doing older photos right now, but most them are sorted already and kept in the old chest in the living room. Nice to be caught up with this item!

Nice Sunday....

Had a quiet and peaceful day. Al came over to help David set up some stuff for the garage sale they are having next weekend. Our double car garage is completely FULL! I'm thinking they are going to have plenty of money to take to Chicago to the National Card Show this summer.

I worked on my Library of Memories class. Got the divider cards for my category drawers done and labeled the front of the drawers.


I used Stampin' Up paper because it is more readily available to me than other brands. I used the We R Memory Keepers linen albums with the following papers:

Wedgewood album - Brocade Blue cardstock for "all about US"
Onyx album - Basic Black cardstock for "PLACES we go"
Silverstone album - Pale Plum cardstock for "PEOPLE we love"
Pomegranate album - Rose Red cardstock for "THINGS we do"

Here's the inside of the "THINGS we do" drawer:





After getting this done and ordering some pictures for my "25th of the month" class I'm taking, I wanted to run to Farm & Fleet to pick up David some jeans and me some jean shorts for work......but since that new theatre is on the way, why not stop in for a movie????

I went to see "Nim's Island" and it was terrific. I didn't know Jodie Foster was in it, so that was a nice surprise, as I love her. There was only me and a family of 3 in the movie, so I had a good time. I really like that they have early movies on the weekend (10:45am) so my whole day wasn't spent in the theatre. All in all a very good day.
