It's not enough that someone else is there. They must also be scrapbooking. Unfortunately there's no craft store in my immediate area that I could go to for the get-togethers those places offer at different times.
I'm always seeing craft projects I want to try but then the reality ends up being so much more complicated than I thought. (Not to mention more expensive.) As much as I wish I could just be creative and come up with ideas on my own I can't. At least not ones that work.
I wonder where my artistic genes went? Many others in my family got them. My mother and aunt can both draw and my aunt can paint, too. Both of them can also make clothes and crochet. My sister has a creative hand with cooking. I've none of those talents.
:) My grandparents at least will love the scrapbook because it features photos of their grandchildren and great grandchild and because I took the time and effort to make it myself.
I will learn to be satisfied without perfection. I will!
Some craft ideas I've seen that I like:
- Tom the Thanksgiving Turkey - I think he's cute and possibly something I could do with the nieces and nephews.
- Leaf Suncatchers - Pretty and fall appropriate. Although I don't know if I would do the pieces.
- Cardboard Tote Bag - Sounds strange but I think it has potential for use as a gift bag!
Those are just some I saw at a quick glance. I like to share neat (at least to me) ideas I come across so you'll probably come across them time and again.
Speaking of crafts. . . I'll be attending what is usually a pretty excellent craft show tomorrow. It's held by the local Social Services League at the local elementary school. Admission is free and they do serve food, which isn't free but tends to also be excellent, if you get there soon enough. There's a homemade chicken and noodles . . . yum.
