Day One

The first line of my first post of my first blog. Jumping in with both feet and eyes shut wide open.

You may look at my blog title and think... What?

You know the old saying, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I figure we all have our trials and tribulations, as well as accomplishments and happy moments. As long as you have to make lemonade, why not make it pretty and fun. Add a little paper umbrella if you must.

I was thinking of making a more serious, thought provoking title. Is that what I am.. too serious... too much thinking?? I try not to be. Although, sometimes life takes serious turns and requires a bit of inner reflection. I've had my share.

I turn to scrapbooking to record the day in the life of my family. Whether those be the good days or the bad days. Ask any scrapper... its great therapy!!

I enjoy both paper scrapping and digital scrapping. Somedays I get my hands sticky with adhesive and other days can hardly contain my excitment when I digitally enhance or manipulate photos to add a different touch to a layout. I plan to share some of those layouts here.

It is through this blog that I want to welcome you to a day in the life of a scrapper. More life to live, more stuff to create.
