I have a good friend and neighbor who is very much into minatures, and is just getting started trying her hand at scrapbooking. As for me, I haven't scrapped for a few years and it weighs heavily on my conscience. Meanwhile, I do keep up with an ever-growing variety of hobbies: knitting, cross stitching, rubber stamping, ATCs, crafting with recycled and found objects, and most recently crazy quilting, with ribbon embroidery soon to follow.<BR/><BR/>LOVE your sea shell shop!AmyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491367062875954080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-35889283398743481982008-04-09T15:35:00.000-04:002008-04-09T15:35:00.000-04:00Yes, Chris, and I found my scrapbooking tools to b...Yes, Chris, and I found my scrapbooking tools to be extremely useful when working on this. I have this terrific ruler with zero in the center and the numbers extending on both sides. It's perfect for centering a project. And my glue? I have a great glue. So scrapbooking and miniature making goes very well together.Joanna Campbell Slanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951637123269159053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-72754809796358655562008-04-09T15:09:00.000-04:002008-04-09T15:09:00.000-04:00Joanna, super seashell shop.

I just picked up some more scrapbook paper today as I wanted something green to contrast the spooky black paper for the witch's greenhouse I'm working on. I love using the papers as so many choices! <BR/>Chris Verstraete <BR/>http://cverstraete.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-36241294714066605392008-04-08T17:04:00.000-04:002008-04-08T17:04:00.000-04:00Makes sense to me!

Maybe your mind went that way because of that old tongue-twister, "Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore."<BR/>I've been feeling an urge to take up cooking as a hobby recently (mostly because it's too expensive to eat out), but as my recent blog attests, I've had discouraging results!Kathryn Lilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701558750790059307noreply@blogger.com
