CKC PA...Here I come!

Working on my submission for CKC. As usual I did something that I didn't like and had to start again. I annoy myself! Below is a small sneak peak...what will it be? I'll never tell. ;) Not sure if I can go "three for three"...we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I must go pack and get ready for the weekend. So much to do and so little time!!

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!
