Yesterday I took a class at my local scrapbook store and it was so much fun! I really want it to see how they make those cute paper bag albums. The class included all the materials and they pre-selected all the papers and embellishments. The only thing I need to add are the photos. The project was very simple and I was so glad to had the chance to learn how to make them. Next time I make them, I will add my own "flair" to them...more ribbons, black and white photos, collages, buttons...
As planned, I had a wonderful Birthday weekend! I ate lots of desserts and spend quality time with my family. It's nice to be able to relax and really enjoy the moment.
Nice paper bag album. It's always great to see examples of what others do with them. Thank you so much for sharing...you have a nice site,very inviting & pretty.
I put your site in my links section of the yahoogroup I started in April. I will definitely check back often to see what you have to show & tell!

Really like the scrapbooks! I'm glad there're people out there who come up with stuff like that.
Your work is sweet, Mabelle. Reminds me a bit of Mary Engelbreit's work, who I greatly admire!
And Happy Birthday!

LOVE your photos, esp.the one of your beautiful face! Thanks for sharing! You always do the prettiest things...I need to follow your lead. I get all trapped in the "have-to's" and forget the "want-to's"!
Btw, not sure (brain lapse here) if I shared that my blog address changed from http://www.themothershour.com/wp to what's shown as my URL here http://afternoon-tea.blogspot.com . Just wanted you to know.

How beautiful! I've always wanted to take a scrapbook class, but have never gotten around to it. Heck, I barely even have time to scrapbook in my down time.
Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one. :)
