This last Friday, I was invited by a few girls from our new ward, Shantaila and Emily and her sister in law, Andrea to go to an all night scrapbooking party! (well, 6pm-midnight) There was several ladies there, all with their fancy tools and bags and paper...it was quite a sight believe me... I love scrapbooking! I love shopping for scrapbooking stuff, (myhusband would say I love shopping for anything...which I do!) anything to do with scrapbooking and I am all in! It's definitely like being a two year old in a candy store! Well pretty much everyone scrapped the night away making beautiful pages and scrapping many fun memories...well, except for me.
---------
Yes, that is right, I did not get one single scrapbooking page done the 6 hours I was there! Why you ask? Not to make any excuses, but I have realized that I just can't scrapbook with a crowd, I get really distracted and come down with a bad case of hyperactivity...hehe. I asked the girls to pray that I could get some inspiration too, because they were on a roll, pumping out all these cute cute pages! "...I think you are ready to go Pro!" haha!
---------
Also I haven't scrapbooked in so long that the creative side of my brain had been turned off... Anyway, I told the girls that I would post pictures of my pages when I finally got done with them...so here's to you guys! (See, I am not a total slacker! lol.) I think they turned out pretty cute and I am happy with them. I know that I have already posted all of these pictures on my blog but these are the pages that I tried to start that night...what do you think??
This page with the girls holding hands is my favorite!
I had a great time and would totally do it again just for the fun, even if I don't get anything done...I know I really just can't scrapbook very well with others around...(nothing personal!) Thanks again for inviting me go with you and for all the laughs!!

Your pages look AWESOME!
First of all, if you are going to pull a late-night scrapbook party, who better to do it with than Shantaila? We played high school volleyball together and I absolutely love her! I'm glad you guys are friends, that is so awesome. Speaking of awesome, your pages are amazing! I am so impressed, nice work! :)
See, you REALLY just didn't want any of us to feel bad. That's why you didn't finish any pages. Had I known you were such a professional I wouldn't have shown you any of my pages! Now I'm just embarrassed of my ugly work. Ah well. Way to go getting so much done! You up for the 16th?...it's free! Emily is having a crop at her house, or Scrap'n Fanatics is having the same one, only $10 less than last time. Let me know which one you want to go to (if any - no pressure), cause it will help me decide what to do (I can't make a decision on my own to save my life)!
LOL! that's really nice of you, but I am no professional! I loved your pages, what are you talking about!? Your whole book was awesome, seriously! That weekend, we are actually going out of town...haha, no that's not an excuse, we really are. I am running a 10K that weekend with a friend! YIkes! I thought it was in June, but it's next weekend! anyway I don't know why I am writing such a long comment on my own blog...blah blah blah...
Good luck with your 10K - that sounds like absolute torture to me, but I'm really out of shape, so what do I know?
