I enjoy visiting a local scrapbooking store, The Scrapbook Cottage. Each month they offer free make n’ take events. In November they had two make n’ takes and fortunately I was able to attend both of them.
At the first event in November, I made a cute snowman card and a penguin card. It is so fun to see how creative people are with paper crafting products. Traci and Mary, the co-owners of The Scrapbook Cottage, always have wonderful ideas for creating fun paper craft pieces. They do an excellent job thinking of ideas for make n’ take projects. While attending a make n’ take, I enjoy learning new paper crafting techniques and learning about new products on the market. It is also inspiring participating in a make n’ take.

The second make n’ take was on Black Friday. Since I opted out on shopping with my sisters on Black Friday, my two nieces and I ventured out to The Scrapbook Cottage to attend the make n’ take. My nieces made two different gift tags and I made one. I like to introduce my nieces to the world of crafts and creativity as much as possible. I think they enjoyed making the gift tags and they will probably use them on gifts they give this year. We had a good time and we didn’t have to deal with the crowds of Black Friday shoppers.

An artist who aspires to become a children's book illustrator. Stays young at heart and an avid daydreamer. When the weather permits, I enjoy visiting/biking on the nature trail near my house. Visiting the trail has brought me many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. My camera is usually by my side while on the trail. I like to try to find the small and unnoticeable as subjects for my photos. And of course flowers and plant life encompass many of my subjects.
What a great idea!! Avoid the crowds and make something!!
