Isn't it funny how a day of housework seems like forever but head off to a workshop or retreat and suddenly everything seems to wizz past and you're on your way home again.
I was wandering around the craft room at my last retreat talking to everyone, and so many people said something along the lines of:
"I wish I had more time to scrapbook."
I've been thinking about how I help you with this dilemma, and as we're into a fresh new year, here's a few suggestions on making the most of your precious crafting time.
- Declutter your craft bags before you start to prepare.
- Choose your projects in advance.
- Use a page planner to sketch layouts and photos, journalling ideas, and colour schemes.
- Prepare papers, embellishments, and photos.
- Use pre bought kits to save time colour matching and choosing embellishments.
- Check tools are in working order – use a tick list to ensure you take what you need.
- Set a realistic goal, considering the time available, and don’t take too much.
- Charge any devices you plan to use and check cables.
- Don't strive for perfection; embrace the imperfections in your scrapbook, it makes it more ‘you’.
