I’ve been scrapbooking and documenting my life for about six years now and the absolute best advice I can give anyone wondering how to begin scrapbooking would be to just start. But that’s with everything in life, isn’t it? And it’s the absolute most hardest part. But even so, there are a few things to consider before you take on a new hobby like scrapbooking. I’ve been in this lovely community…

when the stars go blue | ryan adams cover
Read more Hey everyone! I’m back again with another cover song, this time “When The Stars Go Blue” by Ryan Adams. The first time I heard this song was while watching Bethany Joy sing it in One Tree Hill with Tyler Hilton. I loved that version but I also love Ryan’s original as well. I find that when I play it, it’s a mixture of the two versions. I really hope…

get messy: season of kindness week four + five
Read moreI solemnly swear I did not forget to post my Get Messy Art Journal Season of Kindness week four spreads last week. I actually never made any.

get messy: season of kindness week three
Read moreI’m honestly very surprised I got any pages done this week. It’s been a super blah week. The doggie was sick for most of it and the weather decided to be a cold, gloomy mess these last three days. So I’ve been very tired and bleh. The current social and political discourse happening this past week didn’t really help much either in terms of mood, but it did have me…

ways of getting yourself into your scrapbooks
Read moreI have never had any trouble with getting myself into my scrapbooks. To be honest, I have more trouble getting other people into my scrapbooks. And I think that’s because I’m relatively young (compared to the average scrapbooker), single, and have a furbaby instead of a real growing human one. So the majority of my scrapbooking is about me or the dog or the trips to places I’ve been. I’m…
