Crafting = Crack

Originally this was a light brown color, but now it is a rustic duck egg blue!

This is the page I created!

Let me just start out by saying I had a extremely busy weekend, I guess I had to make up for last weekend when I was recovering from my wisdom teeth. Friday night I stayed up tell 11:00 pm creating this two page spread for 8 other lady's. Mind you I don't have a lot of scrapbooking things, other than what I have just received for Christmas which is; a cricket (thanks hunny), scrapbooking paper, stickers, a paper holder. I knew I didn't have very much but over the past year I've bought a few other things but just a few! When my sister in-law called and asked if I was interested in a scapbooking weekend I had no real idea what I was getting myself into. On Friday night I felt OK about my pages but they felt like they were lacking something still (other than pictures). I woke up on Saturday morning at 6:20 am to drive with my mother in-law up to Spokane for the scrapbooking day. Let me just say that we had to leave at this time, it wasn't by choice because we both are not morning people, we were the last ones to get there because everyone else stayed there on Friday night. When we walked through the doors at 10:30 am it was like I was walking into a scrapbooking store but in throw up style. IT WAS EVERYWHERE! There was only 7 people there but it was so overwhelming! From 10:30 am tell 11:00 pm we scraped! From the cricket to the wall! ;D It was fun to see everyone's pages. Everyone brought a page for everyone else to do, just like I did but we were free to put our own spin on it. I had so much fun! I really got my creative juices flowing. Now the only down side was that was still had to drive home at 11:00 pm because we had church and a birthday party in the morning. But we made it. All that to say that even with all this and the birthday party I still wanted to paint! The top picture is a lantern that my mom picked up a a yard sale for a few bucks and I painted a duck egg blue and covered with a dark wax. And I still didn't stop! But don't worry. I will post later what that project is :)
