"Nutmeg" lives!

Friday is finally here, I thought this week would NEVER end! I'm completely exhausted but I have high hopes for a creative weekend. I've made an executive decision, this weekend...we scrap!! I made some progress on my flip-flop and want to keep the momentum going. I must move onto the next project!

Speaking of which, for anyone following my Scrapronicity365 blog..."NUTMEG" lives! On day 7 I had a photo of a broken ceramic canister (it was very old and belonged to my grandparents). My painters broke it and as upset as I was, I vowed to put Humpty together again! I'm proud to report that I was successful. Unfortunately, there was a piece that was missing but I'm grateful that the rest were there. It may not look perfect but it's good enough for me. I suspect my grandmother was watching over me and *not* allowing it to smash into tiny, unsalvagable pieces. (Oh that large crack running down the front was already there...so I think it looks pretty good).

Welcome to the world of blogging and Project 365. I am also participating in the project but will only be posting my layouts once they are done. I don't thing I can keep up with posting my pics everyday. I just received Becky's kit and can't wait to get my pictures printed and scrapped. Visit my blog when you get a chance http://ohkianex.blogspot.com and maybe we can follow eachother's project.; January 10, 2009 at 12:31 PM

Why Scrapronicity?

"Synchronicity" can be described as the coincidental occurrence of events. When I was a kid I saved everything that had meaning to me in a blue shoebox...ticket stubs, candy wrappers, empty tubes of Lipsmackers. I even have a response to a letter I wrote to one of the Iranian hostages in the 80's. All of these things found their way inside this box. In 1982, when I was twelve, I was given a large, blank scrapbook and it in I taped (eww, TAPE!) the $2 bill given to me by my grandma, a deflated balloon from summer camp, playbills, school play tickets, etc. In 1987 and 1988 I traveled to Spain and saved every metro ticket, wrapper, chip bag, brochure, etc. and placed it all in a book. Every momento I had ever kept was dated with a description. It wasn't until 2001 when I had my daughter that my hard-core scrapping addiction began. I realized that year that I may not have concentrated on paper and embellishments in the past, but I WAS a scrapper all along! This hobby that I love so much, the creative outlet it gives me, the thrill I get when a project is finished, actually began in a blue shoebox when I was just a child. While I know this doesn't truly describe what synchronicity is, the name "Synchronicity" for me (aside from paying homage to my favorite group, The Police) really hits the eyelet right on it's colorful head!
