I don’t scrapbook, I would be pretty plump if I didn’t work at it, and we all know my feelings about cleaning.
Although I am not naturally these ways, I have been working recently to FORCE myself through the inertia to get moving.
I picked the girls up from school last Tuesday. By that time of day I am usually exhausted. Another mom mentioned she was going to Scrap. This is the second time I had heard of this place. A reader had sent a link earlier and I had really wanted to check it out, so I decided to overcome my tiredness and go with all three girls.
We got TONS of stuff. I had decided we were going to decorate pumpkins instead of carving this year. (carved ones always mold and rot in my apartment hallway) The girls picked out things to decorate their pumpkins. Chloe decided her pumpkin was going to be a princess. She found fabric and a crown. I got a bag of buttons and a number of other things. We spent $9.00.
Saturday came around and I loaded up the art supplies and all the things we had bought and we made our way over to Lafayette to spend the day with some good friends. They had the pumpkins there waiting for us.
I am so happy I got my butt in gear and did this project with my girls. These are the kinds of things I remember about my childhood.
These are gorgeous punkins!
I am so glad you found SCRAP as much fun as I do! Funny coincidence, the first time I went, I spent $9 too. Came away with so much crocheting yarn and other stuff, it filled the trunk of my car.
Thanks Jo Anne! So happy you told me about the place or I would have NEVER found it. I added an extra dollar to what I paid them because it was such a good price so I gave em 10. Chloe and Ella also loved the cats they have there of course and wanted to donate to the “cat food fund”
I love this!!! I am going to ask my boys if they want to do this!
That would be so fun. You could do Zombies and mummies, etc. You could even do an “Angry Bird”. The possibilities are endless. Oh, I hope they want to do it. Send me some Pictures!!!!
I will!!!! I will do one even if they don’t and a mini pumpkin for Arabella
Cute!
Moving on….about that “I would be pretty plump” thing. How exactly do you manage?
I’ll post about that soon.
