I haven’t been feeling well this week due to an emerging head cold (hence, no blog posts), so I decided that it was best to stay home from work today and catch up on some scrapbooking. No need to spread my germs around the office at Christmastime, right? Right.
I’ve come to the conclusion that scrapbooking is something that I could do even if I were lying at death’s door. It’s quite rehabilitating, you know. You just sit, and cut, and think a little bit, and be creative. No real exertion is involved—unless you count peeling the backs off the adhesive mounting squares. If there were such a job as Professional Scrapbooker, I would gladly apply.
Or even better, Professional Coloring Book Color-er…

Hi Lulu,
That’s a real cute picture. I know you really did like to color back then. Do you still have some of your color books, or drawings that you did? If so, you’ll have to put them on your blog.
Hope you get rid of that nasty head cold and feel better.
Looking forward to being in GA at Christmas,
LOVE AND HUGS
Love it Lulu! I’m glad I swung by yesterday…I had no idea there were adhesive squares! I always use good old fashioned glue…such a mess!
Let’s open our own scrapbooking business! “Lulu and Big H’s scrapbooks – where your memories are the only thing we aren’t lazy about!”
Wow. I’m getting itchy just looking at that carpet. The late 70s really was the golden era of synthetic material. This is why I don’t scrapbook — I’m really trying to block out the aesthetics of the 1970s. And the 80s. And MOST of the 90s.
SubspaceBea’s last blog post..Three posts in ONE! Yes. Three for one. What a deal!
I think your socks might match the carpet.
Q: is that a white lacy table cloth behind your feet, or is that (gulp) someone’s skirt? Dear God, please tell me it’s a table cover.

Hi Lulu, Thank you for your comment on the blog. I have to say yours is one of the most unique I have seen with all the elements! I like it! I LOVE scrabpooking too, but have gone completely digital so no more cutting! YEAH! I used to actually cut out individual letters; I bet you do that too!

I’ve always wanted to try scrapbooking but never have. I have no idea why. Somehow it seems daunting. Maybe I’m afraid my pages will look crappy or something. And of course we have no photo books at ALL. NONE.
Teach me, o wise one.
Love that 77 photo, too. Is that… is that… is that a gold velvet rocking chair in the background? Did we grow up in the same house??

Susan – I was thinking that it was part of the curtains, but now I’m thinking table skirt. I surely hope it’s not someone’s skirt! This picture was taken at my aunt’s house…hmm…I’ll have to consult with her.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!!
Amanda – that is totally a gold, velvet chair in the background. Lovely, huh?
I’ll make a deal with you. You teach me to cook, and I’ll teach you to scrapbook!!
