Scrap Booking

So after collaborating with my prayer group to create a blank scrapbook for our expectant friend's baby shower gift I fell in love with this extremely versatile art form. I've always loved art but as a busy busy grown up I've found that arts are way on the back burner in this season of life. When I discovered that scrap booking could be an extremely satisfying and practical artistic outlet I was elated!!

My first lone project was a book that I wanted to put together for my beloved friends and neighbors. I have to say that I haven't put so much love into a project of this sort in nearly a decade (since my late teens and early 20's creating stained glass pieces, pottery, sculptures, sketches or paintings for friends and family - I rarely created or kept artwork for myself). In the next post I will include a slide show of the finished product. What a blessing it is for me to be able to express my love and friendship this way. I can't wait to start working on projects for Adi next, after a short break of course. It's a lot of work, sheesh!
