The Scrapateers!



Jaime, Amanda, and I have worked together going on four years at Tanner High School. I never imagined when I started this job that I would meet two of the best friends I've ever had. I honestly don't know what I would do without these two. We have recently become addicted to scrapbooking, and man do I mean addicted! Although I have spent a ton of money this summer on scrapbook supplies I don't look at scrapbook as a money pit. Jaime, Amanda, and I try to get together at least once a month if we can to scrapbook and we have the best time! We talk, laugh, and just enjoy having girl time! During these crop sessions we get a chance to learn more about each other's lives. For example, Amanda has been working very hard on Camden's baby album and she is doing an outstanding job on it. I told her the other day that Camden's future wife will be very grateful to her one day because she will have such a detailed, not to mention super cute, scrapbook of her husband's childhood. So, while Amanda is working on this album we get a chance to talk about what Camden will be like and some of the experiences Amanda is going through during her pregnancy. Jaime has been working on her Wedding albums and an album dedicated to her and Brandon. This has given Amanda and me an opportunity to learn more about Jaime's experience while planning her wedding and also her experiences as a new wife. I probably take in more than the two of them know because I'm looking forward to getting married one day and having children of my own. I guess you could say I'm learning from two of my best friends. I admire them for who they are and the things they do. So, I guess my point is that my addiction to scrapbooking is not all about discovering all the latest scrapbook trends and creating super cute pages. It's also about spending time with my best friends. I'm sure that many other people have also found this to be the case. If you're a scrapbooker I hope that you have the opportunity to crop with others. It's a great way to get to know more about people! Happy Scrapping to you all!!! Posted by Picasa
