Fun Fact Friday - Scrapbooking!

So... Scrapbooking.

It is something that I had long considered a homely nerdy activity but decided to give it a whirl when my best friend was trying to make a scrapbook of her wedding right around the time I was getting my wedding photos back from the photographer. We gave it a go together and enjoyed the time just keeping our hands busy and chatting. We grew apart when her marriage abruptly ended very shortly after and I hadn't really tried to do anymore scrapbooking on my own. For me is it something that has to be done socially or not at all.

At my new position in the Performing Arts Library I've been able to make some fantastic new friends, one of whom is the graphic designer for the university press. She told me she gets together with a large group of ladies every few months for an entire 12 hour stretch in a school gym to scrapbook! And they bring in hot food and coffee. She invited me to join and luckily my husband was home to watch our son so I could go for this scrapbooking extravaganza. I had such a fantastic time meeting all the new people and just spending some time for myself to be creative. I'm not good at scrapbooking by any stretch of the imagination but it was just something fun to do. This weekend I am going back for my second time. This time I won't be borrowing any tools or materials from anyone though, I've invested is some great stuff for myself! I can't wait!

Hope everyone has a fantastic and stress free weekend! It has been raining here for 6 days straight so I'm hoping for a little sunshine as well!
