Ep 68 Simple Scrapbooking Podcast: Cre8time

So good to have you back! Great interview. I need another forum board like I need a hole in my head but I think I will be heading over there anyways to sign up! Where Lain leads, I follow.
Talk soon!!

YEAH!! to CHA for taking the lead on this movement! Such terrific materials and resources laid out for us to take advantage of. I LOVE that Andrej relates the Cre8time movement to so many parts of our lives, not just crafting. Maybe it’s time with the kids, or parents, or walking the beach . . . REALLY taking the time to examine our priorities and scheduling appropriate time for them. Of course, my Cre8time needs to be crafting {wink, wink!}

Now that he’s tackled knitting, I think it’s time he moved on to the REAL stuff… Scrapbooking!

This was a great podcast. I’ve been feeling blah about scrapbooking which translates into not doing anything. I’ve been following Noell Hyman’s challenge about completing a scrapbooking–well, not actually doing, just reading. So reading her series coupled with listening to this show motivated me to get started again. I’ve been avoiding finishing an album because I just wasn’t feeling it. I went through all the pages I’ve completed, wrote those down, and then wrote a list of stories I hadn’t told that I want to tell. And suddenly its been easy to carve out the time to work on the album. I’m grabbing a few minutes here to edit and prepare the photos, then another few minutes later to print them. Later I quickly pick out the paper. And in the evening I sit down and watch something while I put together a page or two. I’m trying not to overthink it and instead concentrate on the storytelling and appreciating the boost I get from being creative every day. Thanks for this!
