I have been too busy lately to enjoy my new hobby: scrapbooking! Who would have thought I would enjoy it so much? I was never too keen on arts classes. I never really had inspiring ideas that made me enthusiastic about projects. Nor was I particularly praised for my efforts. I was pretty much average, though I did not dislike the activity. What was my surprise then to discover this new passion. I guess I love telling stories, and this is a graphic way to do so.
I always enjoyed comic books (or graphics novels, as they are called now) and toyed with the idea of creating my own. Recently, a friend who shares my love of scrapbooking lent me some graphic novels. One is very badly drawn and so I thought: Hey, I could do this! (I can only do it if I lower my standards significantly... ; -) )
I have big plans for the next little while: a whole thematic album, several cards, revamping an old album where pictures are currently badly preserved. I am planning two sessions this week: one with friend, the other by myself. Much joy to be had all around!

We bought a scrapbook kit just before Janis was born and we still haven't done anything with it. It just doesn't inspire me at all...
I did spend a lot of time retouching photos of her in Photoshop and stuff but when it comes to scrapbooking, it just seems too impractical.
Talk about a computer geek :-)
If you have any good ideas, let me know...
oooh, you never told me that. We'll have to schedule a scrapbooking session and I will drive you nuts with all my ideas. I will make a convert out of the two of you! Yay!
