Indeed, our home is quite cozy, as we downsized tremendously this past summer, and living simple has taken on a whole new meaning for us, but it has been such a wonderful thing! <br /><br />Photo books are certainly a special way to preserve memories, and I enjoyed making them. It's time for me to make more... I just need to get my crafting space in order, and perhaps then I will. :) <br /><br />Chrissy, I am so happy to get to know you better, and appreciate your visits here so very much.

It's really pretty, I like the colors you used.<br />My daughter was really into scrapbooking a few years back, and I made a few of those. I made one for my parents, logging some of their vacations, and they just loved them. It takes a lot longer to do than I ever expected, and I'm sure those photo albums did too. What joyful keepsakes! Totally worth the effort.<br />Happy Thursday!<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-85275554118200758292016-01-21T08:35:21.376-08:002016-01-21T08:35:21.376-08:00I hope the inspiration finds you, and me too.

I try not to do it too often, but there are times when something is just not working, and then it takes time to move everything else around to get it all comfy again. <br /><br />Yes, I am a paper crafter at heart, although I have painted, sewed, embroidered, and cross-stitched among other crafts through the years. I always enjoy your sharing of your cards, because that is a craft I enjoy so much. Since we have moved, my craft space has just not felt "right", and hence I've not had any creative juices flowing. I hope that changes soon :) <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful day today! How is your garden growing? I'm sure you must be enjoying some lovely things from it by now :) Hugs to you too, dear friend!
