When we first got assigned the By Hand project, I had no clue what I wanted to do. It took me forever to come up with something I was interested in doing. I have never really had time to sit down and pick up a form of art or craft, so the opportunities were endless. I then thought about scrapbooking. I've made one "scrapbook" in my life, and that was a requirement last year for recruitment at my sorority...and to tell you the truth, it just looks like a pretty photo album. I know scrapbooking is more than just putting pictures in a book (which I had done before), and it is something I am quite interested in learning how to do. I love saving pictures and memorabilia, so this will be a great way to hold onto things that mean so much to me.
In the coming weeks, I will be posting updates and pictures with my work in progress. By the end of the semester, I hope to have a finished scrapbook. It's not going to be a particular theme or trip or school year, but more just a scrapbook of things I love - my friends, family, travels, the list goes on. I think it is important to be able to show what I love through craft, and I am looking forward to showing people what I learn and come up with.
