Mommy's Free Time


Now that Lexi takes a nap once in a while, I've got some free time to play with my scrapbooking stuff again. I started scrapbooking back in 2005 - I started with making our wedding thank you cards and favor boxes, and I was instantly hooked. I've always been fairly crafty - over the years I've done knitting (my Nana taught me when I was 8), cross stitch, crocheting, sewing and painting (OK, does paint by numbers count?) To date I've done several scrapbooks, including a beautiful wedding album, and I hope to finish a scrapbook of Lexi's first 6 months before I head back to work (gulp) in just over 3 months. It's even become some what of a side business for me, as I sell my cards to a friend who owns a housewares store in Kitsilano - Briers Home Decor on West 4th Avenue. I've done thank you cards for a couple of my girlfriends' bridal showers, baby thank you cards for myself, and several sets of bridal and baby shower invites.

Here's a sampling of what I've been working on recently.
