I warned you I was going to post a scrapbook page.
I actually finished a paper scrapbook page! If you knew how many adhesive foam letters (THICKERS!), designer papers (A LA CARTE!) and empty albums (IMAGE OF SAD FACE!) I owned, you would feel slightly contemptuous of me.
But! I completed a scrapbook page. And it was aligned okay and contained photographs. Pretty papers help.
It turns out I like cutting out pretty pictures of paper, adhering stickers to them, and telling stories. (The telling stories part I had already figured out). It’s very satisfying, and has a definite ending. When it is in the plastic sleeve, it is done. No editing. Misspellings stay.
My big lesson for 2010 (besides No Martyrs) is probably Good Enough. I am a Good Enough scrapbooker. I am not likely to win awards, or have my own show. I am not as good at it as I am at knitting or writing or singing or even running. But it’s fun, and you can’t be the best at everything. (Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah. I tell my children that all the time.)
So hooray for my Good Enough scrapbook page. It was fun to make, and I’ll be making a bunch more before my class! with Cathy Z! is over.
