Starting the New Year with Catherine and Memories Galore

Posted By on January 4, 2009

Catherine and I were UP AND OUT of the house January 1st, 2009  – BRIGHT AND EARLY!  We met at the local McDs  for pre-scrapbooking fun!  Now do you think I had my CAMERA?  If you said yes, then that is the wrong answer.  OK….so if I would have had my camera I would have taken a picture of Catherine at McDs..   Here is a picture of Catherine – and she had on the CUTEST NECKLACE – a fairy with fluffy hair!

Ok – so this ISN’T the McDonalds that we met at – but the Midlothian McD’s had the same ambiance!  🙂  REMEMBER I FORGOT MY CAMERA, so I am doing the best that I can here!  OK – here is another opportunity for you to use your imagination!

We then went to Memories Galore for a day full of good fun, cropping, shopping, eating, laughing and Catherine even won a prize!  It was lots of fun and Catherine made some VERY AMAZING things – but I can’t say what because I think it is as of yet an undisclosed secret.  sigh….  If you look at the picture above, IMAGINE us sitting in the room in the back of the store laughing, eating, spinning and gluing things!  🙂

 I made covers for three scrapbooks (they are actually 3-ring notebooks that I embellish and call scrapbooks)  for three of my grandangels and in each book there are two page layouts that I made showing their efforts at Christmas decorating.  I took pictures when I got home ( there sat my camera!)  Grandangel Cooper managed to get himself in my pictures – that boy is a real clown!    He actually dropped down and got into the pictures  just as I snapped them!    TA DA….here is what I did (and yes that took me 7 hours!!!!)

Well, part of that time was taken by making the spine labels!

It felt good to be productive as the new year emerged.  However, it was a tad bit humbling when Cooper pointed out that he only had TWO PAGES in his 2008 book.    Sigh, my quilting appears  to have taken  up some of my time.  LOL!!!!  🙂
