Scrapbooking Night!

Tonight I will have 12 girls over to scrapbook. Half of us are in our sixties and half of us are in our Thirties. Guess which I am....LOL....nevermind. :)

The Thirties got together and asked me to host a monthly scrapbooking group. I knew it would be fun, so I did just that. I knew for the girls it was a chance to get away from it all for a few hours.....no kids, no husbands.....a safe place to talk, to share. Their conversations usually focus around their husbands, their kids, books and movies, and yes, even scrapbooking. :)

And we love to share recipes.

Along the way, I started to bring in my friends and it is just such an interesting mix. The older ladies also talk of husbands, and usually grandkids, or just what is happening in their lives. We, however, are not really escaping.....well maybe we are......we all call it "playing."

By whatever name you call it, it is fun for all of us. I know the older ladies get a real kick out of the younger ones. Can you believe I've been invited to the midnight showing of NEW MOON....and I am going too....even if they do have to nudge me awake occassionally. These young ones keep you on your toes. Well, they introduced me to the book series TWILIGT which I practically inhaled....so now I am hooked and looking forward to each movie.

Scrapbooking

One of my other loves in life is scrapbooking. It all started for me when my one and only grandchild was born almost five years ago. She has brought so many wonderful changes to my life.

I took care of her for three straight years three days a week. Because of this, I joined a Moms' Club in my area in order to socialize Sienna and met some fabulous young women and their children. They too have enriched my life more than I can say. Thirty years of age differences did not even phase them. For me, they keep me young.

Even after I no longer took care of my granddaughter, Sienna, I maintained my friendships with these young woman. In addition, I made some additional friends, who are my age, through Bunco and Canasta.

I started hosting a once a month Crop. It started with the Moms' Group but it has evolved into the melding of young and old. I now have a regular group of ladies who come to my house once a month to crop. It is such an enjoyable mix of people, ideas, ages, and discussions.

We all bring something to eat and have a wonderful pot-luck dinner as we crop.

I highly recommend that if you love scrapbooking, find a group to crop with. It is a ball and it will enrich your life beyond anything you thought possible.
