Scrapbooking takes me forever

I will never be done with my scrapbooking. We take a lot of pictures around here. Additionally, I am always out of some essential supply. Right now, that would be markers — blue, red, and black. So I’ve got a backlog of layouts, waiting around for journaling or doodling.

Since joining a local MeetUp group (find or start one in your area at meetup.com), I’ve gotten to crop twice in two months. I’m using up my paper stash, and I’m meeting new people. As I said before, crafting in a group is more productive for me. Having my eyes and hands occupied helps everyone talk more freely, too. The conversation is great — I’ve learned about MOPS, where to find Archivers coupons, dental woes, and gained sympathetic mommy souls.
