My room has been a mess for the past month and a half. I've done nothing as far as scrapbooking. I need to get back into it. I am planning on making my Christmas cards this year and I need to make these cute little Mini Albums that I am giving as gifts to the women in my live. So as soon as the sun rises this morning I am cleaning.
Wish me luck!

I became Amanda's Daisy Leader when Amanda was in Kindergarten. She made friends that she is still close with. Anyway, I did not want to be the Troop's Brownie Leader the following year because I was planning to work. This year I am not working so I volunteered to be the a troop leader. Nancy (a good friend of mine) said she would be the co-leader and my other close friend Juliet is our bookkeeper and this makes it easier.
Well Nancy and I went to training this week and I cannot tell you how excited I am about this Adventure. I plan on doing everything I can to make this experience for our girls enriching and fun. The girls in our group all come from Amanda's school and I am friendly with the mothers, so I already know how amazing these girls are and how they can all benefit and appreciate learning to be our future leaders and movers. I really love our girls and I am excited about this commitment.
I want to thank my friends who came out to support my new business. It was great fun. We made a cute little mini Christmas card. Did a little stamping and distressing...two of my favorite things.

What is it, you say. It’s a club that gets together once a month to scrapbook and shop. Six scrapbookers agree to purchase $25 or more each month from CTMH for 6 months. Orders must be submitted by the 15th. During each of the gathering scrapbookers gets to be the hostess. Well, she receives the hostess gifts without really having to host. The get together will be at my house and one scrapbooker gets to go home with free scrapbooking products. Fun way to scrap and shop, huh? The first night will be November 6th and will continue to meet the first Thursday of every month.

I do not expect to make a whole lot of money since I seem to just spend my profits on more scrapbooking goodies, but that’s OK. I just want to promote myself as a professional scrapbooker so that some may hire me to make custom scrapbooks for them.
I’m pretty excited about two of the projects I scheduled. We are doing Mini Card Album and Tru Fit Folio Mini Album

Is it just me or does this picture seem a bit strange?
I am now a Close to My Heart Consultant. I signed up Friday night under a women I met (over the phone) through my dear friend Mimi.
So, to start my business I attended my first crop in 5 years. I had no idea what to bring. I have a nice scraproom of my own to work in and I never know what I am going to do till I get started. My stash is what gives me inspiration. Anyway, the hostess was a Creative Memories Consultant, and her home was filled with boxes and such from her business. She showed me all the new Creative Memories products, and boy did they add a lot to there line. But as lovely as they were, I am still feeling positive about Close To My Heart. For me, there is more room for artistic expression with the the Close To My Heart products. I like to use paints, stamps, and bumpy embellishments. And I will admit...most of my cutting tools are from Creative Memories and I use them every time I scrap.
Most of the women showed up with tons of photos and started to work. One was completing a page like every 3 minutes. Me...I just stared at my one picture and my three sheets of Bazzil cardstock that I did not know what to do with. I also had this cute laser cut 12 x 12 sheet in the shape of daisies and some small embellishments. Some women finished multiple pages. Me...I left with only one that I did not even finished. I did finished it when I got home and I think it is lovely.
I did find the Memory Manager Software to be an amazing tool for organizing photos. So if you are looking for a cool easy way to manage all those pictures you have, I recommend this.
Today, I'm getting my craft room cleaned up and work on my business plan. Big fun!
Wanted to test uploading videos. I'll get the swing of this I promise.

Yes, I know...I am way off. That just shows you how far behind I am with my scrapbooking. I cleaned out my craft room over the weekend so last night while Ben was watching the Olympics; I delved back into Amanda's scrapbook. Today I plan on making my business cards for my new business. Here's to a creative, productive, and fun day.
