When I saw there was the opportunity for digital scrapbooking, I couldn't wait to try my hand at it. I noticed the other sites seemed to charge so I immediately went for experimenting with Scrapblog.
I found the choices limited. However, I was able to synchronize Flickr with Scrapblog and go from there. I liked the green background I used - it was free. I didn't care for some of the items costing me "coins." My picture is from my trip to San Diego earlier this summer.

Crafts & Hobbies #62: Decoupage
Last year, one of the Girl Scout Interest Project: Exploration! workshops was for the "Paper Works" Interest Project Award (IPA). The Girl Scouts and I worked did a decoupage project in order to complete one of the steps towards this IPA. We used boxes, photos clipped from magazines, and a mixture of glue and water. It was a lot of fun.
All summer long, I've intended to decoupage a box with old road maps to hold my watch and ring. I haven't done it yet and the kids are back in school. I do think I will make this decoupage box . . . someday.
On Etsy, I saw some charming decoupage candle holders. Maybe I will have a chance to attempt making such. . . after I finish that box.

Crafts & Hobbies #61: Craftspiration
Browsing the sites such as Instructibles and Craftzine, my hands itched to do some of these projects. Just the other day, I saw a papier maché bowl I just had to make. Nonetheless, I haven't made time to enjoy this hobby in years. One of the projects on Craftzine uses an apple as a vase. My first thought was, "Well, I could do that." However, my second thought was, "When would I do it, though?"
I prefer written instructions with pictures for crafts. Of course, I might try watching a video again. Back in my day, we didn't have YouTube or streaming video on our computers.
When I was a Girl Scout, I enjoyed the times we did craft projects the most. I made Gods' eyes, decorated t-shirts, and Christmas ornaments. Since my Girl Scout days, I haven't made the time for crafts. In seeing this iHCPL module and working on the Crafts-to-Go program at Freeman, I've returned to one of my favorite pasttimes.
