Waiting Not So Patiently

I've found it difficult to wait. A few days ago, I ordered prints from walmart. It's cheaper to have them mailed directly to my house rather than going to the store to pick them up. I live in a small town of 1,500 people out in the sticks, and I don't go "into town" to walmart, michaels, big lots, tuesday morning, etc., unless I have several errands to run. I didn't get the photos today, so I have to wait through the weekend. Ack! I don't have a printer to print my own photos (my son decided it would be a good place to hide jello.) So, I have to depend upon an outside source. It's actually not a bad deal at 9 cents a print. I'm having 121 made. I find I can't make page lay-outs, or mini albums without having the photos first. As soon as I get my order I'll be scrapping like mad. That should keep me scrapping until Christmas when maybe I can pick up some Christmas extras on clearance.

The Next Move

Well, I've finished my mini album on our trip to Michigan. I have tons more photos I need to scrap, but the pictures are languishing in my digital camera. Really, I should just print them, but with no income until hubby's knee has healed, I have to let the photos sit where they are. So, what's my next move? I think I'll make some cards. I was ruffling through my stash, and it looks like I have enough papers and embellishments that I can start on my Christmas Cards. I only have to make 35.

Birth of a Blog

This is the first blog I have ever had. It will be a learning experience, so bear with me while I travel on this journey. Hopefully I will have a working camera soon so I can video my experiences while scrapbooking my friends and family. Wish me luck!
