Calling all scrapbookers...



Recommended Posts

Thanks for all the replies. Do any of you seasoned scrapbookers recommend any books for new scrapbookers? I have never done one, but I really want to start. I love all the papers and I figured it would give me something to do besides eat. And what better to start with than my surgery?

Sooo.....if anyone has any tips feel free to respond or PM me. :)

As a long time scrapper, I would advise you to get a little experience under your belt before attempting what might be a very special album. I've always told people do NOT start scrapping with your wedding photos or a baby book, because you'll show it to people for the rest of your life and you don't want it to be your greenest work. And trust me, if you scrapbook any amount of time, your skill level will go up and you will be less than thrilled about your first work.

That said, [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Scrapbooks-Meaningful-Memory-Weekend/dp/1929180241/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196391758&sr=1-8]Amazon.com: Simple Scrapbooks: 25 Fun and Meaningful Memory Books You Can Make in a Weekend: Books: Stacy Julian,Gayle Humpherys[/ame] is my favorite book for making great 'themed' albums. I use it in teaching scrapbooking classes, but my personal copy is not in its rack. Either I've loaned it and forgotten about it or one of my daughters or daughter-in-law borrowed it.

I also recommend subscribing to the magazine of the same name, Simple Scrapbooks. It's not too overwhelming for beginners.

And it IS a great deterrent to eating!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
