Now on to the fun stuff!

When I signed up for this blog hop I definitely was leaving my comfort zone.  Acckkk!!  A scrapbook page.  I knew I had photos from apple picking with my children and nephew.  But I have this real commitment issue with photos stuck onto paper.  Too many decisions.  Too many choices.  What is the right size?  So I started small 6" x 6"- less space is good for me.  And after doing one page, I have a goal to finish the whole (yes, 6 pages - but 12 sides!) book.  I know it is fairly primitive, with layers of paper and one photo.  But this is a major step for me.  Thank you for the encouragement - I can hear it out there.
