I should order a photo book

I’ve been invited to a scrapbooking club with my best friend’s mom. She goes every week and makes beautiful memory books for her kids & grandkids. I think this is something that I’d actually enjoy. Sure, its a Sunday afternoon with a bunch of old ladies, but hey – is it worse than working on the computer on a Sunday afternoon (like I’m doing right now)? I don’t think so!

I have discs & discs full of pictures, tons of memorabilia of all kinds. I’m a bit of a packrat, and hang on to all kinds of weird stuff in shoe boxes and desk drawers. I also need a push to work on something like a scrapbook. I’m too busy & distracted to work on it at home, plus, I would have way too much help from my kids to actually accomplish anything.

So, on Friday I ran into my Volunteer Life Coach and she asked what I was doing this weekend. Typically I wouldn’t tell her much because she always suggests ways that I can improve my experience. However, this time, I thought “Aha! I’m doing something fun and creative this weekend. She won’t be able to “should” me this time! Perhaps she’d even say, she even say somthing like “Gee, that sounds like fun. Have a good time.”

Of course, my VLC always has something surprising to offer. I braced myself, ready to hear what kind of snack to bring to scrapbooking, what kind of book I should make, what materials would be needed and where to by them. And she said…

“Oh, I wouldn’t do that. You should just upload your pictures to kodak and order a photobook.”

(I can’t wait for scrapbooking now! I’ll have to find out if cocktails are allowed.)
