Step 1 to Scrapping: Head to a Crop

I finally took the plunge and called my local scrapbook store, Life's Memories & More, to sign up for their May 14 crop. The April crop is this Saturday and there's no way I can be ready that soon. This gives me just over five weeks to organize/purge my scrap area, order prints and put together some page kits.

This is so silly, having to psyche myself up to scrap. My daughter, Emily, is coming to the crop with me (she always does). Even she said, "this is going to require some major cleaning before we can go!"

Eeek. Am I really ready for this?

Here I am at a scrapping get together with some online buddies back in January 09.
