Two Clues to This Week’s Roundtable Topic
Tuesday, May 21st, 2013Just a Few Reasons Why
Thursday, May 9th, 2013We get emails like this from time to time and I was just feeling like I wanted to share this one. I appreciate such kind words…
Hi Izzy,
Firstly, you should know that I only have one subscription online, and that is to Paperclipping……Noell has a wonderful way of giving substantial instructions to whatever she is demonstrating. She does it in a way that makes me feel as if she is in my craft room with me. Her voice is natural and calm. She does not repeat the same words over and over.
I thoroughly enjoy every video. The information is clear and the products she uses are often recycled or inexpensive. I have watched many videos in the past, but none that are as informative.
Please pass on my sincere thanks to your lovely wife, and tell her to keep doing what she is doing! I love to watch and learn! Congratulations on a job so very well done!

Thank you, Grace, and all of you others who make us feel very good about what we do.

Are you close?
We’re about one-third of the way through our Play Along where we’re finishing up a scrapbook album together.
Paperclipping Play Along: Finish an Album With Me?
Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
Do you ever cringe while someone looks through one of your scrapbooks because it’s not quite finished?
Do you find yourself making explanations about what is or isn’t in the album?
“Oh — that ugly thing is the back of a page. I still need to put a layout there.”
Would you love to hand someone a finished scrapbook in full smiles and confidence with no explanations or apologies?
Then play along with me and finish an album this month! I’m not talking about starting a whole new one and finishing it within a month. I’m talking about taking one that is pretty darn close, and completing it so it is totally viewer-ready.
Three Reasons You Should Play Along with Me and Finish a Scrapbook
- Accomplishing something is more fun with other people.
- You’ll have a complete scrapbook album in four weeks!
- You’ll have an audience-ready scrapbook to share that requires no apologies or explanations.
I have a month of blog articles and video tutorials planned to help us along. You’ll see my own album ugghlies and what I do to pretty them up and make my scrapbook complete!
But I don’t want to do it by myself. I hope you’ll join me!
We start tomorrow with our first tasks. Be sure to come back so we can get going. If you work on multiple albums at once and you’re feeling motivated right now, you can choose which album you’ll focus on completing to be ready to start with the first tasks tomorrow.
See you then!
ETA: Our month is done, but you can still join us as your own page. Start at the first link and I’ll lead you from post to post to the end of our adventure:
