No WAY! I think I'm actually getting the darn Project 365 kit..I'm in SHOCK! Of course I won't believe it until the package arrives. At this point I would have paid for 2nd day air but let's face it, I've waited this long, what's a few more days?

I'm still plugging away, working on my projects. This week I dove into an old QVC kit. Last February I bought the Cosmo Cricket papercrafting kit. It's actually really cool, despite the lack of instructions! I'm working on the "LOVE" banner at the moment and I hope to do the cube soon. As usual I start something and it takes time to finish it. I also have to add photos to that Lisa Bearnson 4 album kit. AHH...I need more hours in the day!! I'm also making progress on my scrap room...I'll post pics of everything as I finish. :)

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!
