Fall
It's been a pretty busy Fall. I've been teaching digital scrapbooking at our local scrapbooking store all year. I don't want anyone else to go through the frustration I had several years ago when I started scrapbooking. That was awful. I thought that since I'd used other Adobe product for years, Photoshop Elements was going to be intuitive and a breeze....WRONG! Today there are lots of tutorials on the web that are available that weren't there when I started. But, the people who take my classes have the advantage of all I have learned in my trials and tribulations. I wish I'd have someone to show me some of the things I didn't discover for a year or two of active scrapping!
I love digital. Clean up is a breeze. If you get caught in the middle of making a layout--no problem. Just Save and Exit. Pick it up later and finish it. No paper, glue and scissors (not to mention a thousand other little things) to put away.
I'm doing a fairly simple style right now. More graphic in nature. Christmas is around the corner so I need to get to work and make some mini albums, calendars, etc. for gifts. I love personal gifts that are made by someone--cookies, photos, crafts. Maybe with the economy like it is people will be more resourcefull without their Visas and share something special.
Thanksgiving is Thursday. I am so thankful to have the wonderful family I have. We will truly miss Fax who won't be coming home from school. But the rest of us will gather in Charlottesville to celebrate at Scott and Lou's home. They do the annual get-together and do it up big with style. I'm the official pie maker. I love to spend Thanksgiving morning rolling out crust and filling and baking. Baking has always been a favorite interest. Enjoy your family, holiday and your pie, too!
