Back to school meant it was back in business to attend to regular scrap meets this week. And it was good to be back and catch up with other regular scrappers.
On Tuesday I went back to my casual scrap with other ladies at my local scrap store. At the moment I am working on getting a mini school album finished for one of this year's Christmas presents. It might be another week or two and this album will be completed.
The next day which happened to be yesterday, I had my first four hour workshop at my consultant's house. She will be planning to host three workshops per month on Wednesday, Friday night and Saturday morning.
We had a workshop topic about love with using the new love series papers and the new border cartridge. Not sure if I will purchased the love cartridge as I find it intends to have the paper caught inside the punch. But I didn't purchase the new love series papers through. Also I placed an order to get a new 8 inch love series album with the paper kit suited for this album. With this album I plan on creating for someone special.
Until my next report, keep on being creative.

12 hour scrap
My first scrap meet occurred yesterday. The organiser is my CM consultant who I have been attending to either her home or other venues for the past eight years, hosted this 12 hour event at her child's local school staffroom. Consider the size of the staffroom, there was 22 ladies crapped inside this room to work on their own projects for 12 hours. There was only one lady who showed up six hours late as she had a prior commitment to attend to that day.
Yes... it is normal work day for some people but most of the ladies who attend to our regular meets are teachers who currently on summer holidays. And they had the advantage to attend to a 12 hour workshop with their co-workers. There was only a couple of ladies who aren't teachers so they had to organise a day off work to be able to come along and scrap. It makes me wonder if their employer really knew what their employees really got up to on their unexpected day off after having time off during the festive season break.
Most groups have their own little group members who sit together to chat and scrap but I am the only outsider who just gets dumped and sits with whoever has a spare chair to sit at the table with. Unfortunately the majority of the group I sat with yesterday weren't really user friendly when it comes to conversations. Working alone was a good advantage point to get the motivation to complete many pages I intend to participated on the day.
This year my resolution is to work on completing projects I started on sometime ago. Yesterday I worked on two eight inch albums which I managed to finish off one album. My consultant did have a couple of workshop demos for any of us to try out but I already spent a week at home preparing the pages I wish to work on for 12 hours.
Also our consultant had raffle tickets on offered which we had to try to earned for free. I never really bothered with any of the offers because I never win anything from these meets.
I already won a scrap challenge from other sources. It was a challenge I entered online last month. My winnning prize came in the mail just before I walked out the door. I was so over the moon with what I received which I am sure my goodies will come in handy to use at some point.
Back to normal scrap meets and workshops doesn't resume back until the new year of schooling starts in late January.
