I enjoy scrapbooking. I haven't done it as much as I'd like simply because I haven't really had the space or the set-up. Here's the thing with scrapbooking. Usually you need lots of room to spread your stuff out. So, if you're like me the last few years, this means...
During: Here are the boys playing the keyboard I found while working...motivational music never hurts! =)
pulling all the scrapbooking stuff out...
spreading it out...
scrapbooking for a little while...
gathering it all back together...
and then putting it all away....
Rinse and Repeat.
The set-up and take-down was such a long extensive process that I tended not to scrapbook because of it.
When we lived in Germany, I did attempt to set up my own space (pictured below)...but it was just to small and I found it hard to spread out.
Now, however, I have found my own little nook to set up a scrapbooking corner. And, because my nook is in the basement, I can even leave ongoing projects out instead of having to continually pull everything out and put it all back again. This is so exciting to me!!!

So, last Saturday I started setting up my nook. I still need to put some pictures on the wall, but at least I have the table, drawers and shelves setup. The only new purchase I made for this space was a large (6 foot) foldable table (about $35) to create lots of workspace.
