A Night of Scrapbooking

Last weekend, a couple of the gals from the local crafting group I am a part of and myself decided to have a scrapbooking evening. I use to scrapbook like a mad woman, completing many albums a year, but upon moving out to the lower mainland, and not having had brought my supplies with me...well...its being a while, 6 years worth of a while.

Over the last year these wonderful ladies have gotten me back into this intimate art forum.


Friday was our little event and we decided to go Pot Luck Style. Being veggie free, our food line up consisted of cheese fondue, chicken (a whole chicken I might add!), various breads and salt and vinegar chips (crisps...if you are like my better half aka British).

Craftybunny decided to multicraft while working on scrapbooking pages and making baby shower decorations. No she does not have a bun in the oven....(ha..ha...ha...its funny cause its CraftyBUNNY). Awesome. Calistopolis made some tear jerking pages of her wedding, while I assembled all of my random road trip pictures. We even had a French Cook attend! While she claims she is not crafty herself, he was more than happy to help out Craftybunny with the decorations as well as have Martha Stewart brainwash her with one of her craft books. *Sigh* Martha, how terribly wonderful you are.

A few hours into the evening, the French cook, just! Couldn't! TAKE IT ANYMORE! And needed to make CUPCAKES!!!! Before I knew it, she was in the kitchen baking away, and being crafty in making coloured spirals in each baked good.

The night continued with more scrapbooking, crafting, stuffing our faces with cupcakes and talking, lots of talking. To be expected with a group of women.

The French Cook later messaged me this: 

 
I had a great time friday! Thanks for having me over. I'm glad you liked the multicolored cup cakes :) I hadn't had cup cakes in soooo long. Maybe next time I will do just the egg whites like the recipe says and not the whole freakin egg haha. Make them ubber fluffy!

Either way we are going to have you come out to surrey so we can get you some craft stufffff's

ps. spoon + icing = heaven

pps. I came away with three freakin amazing stories on friday
1 - I don't want to go to the dentist. They're going to tell me i'm a horrible person because I don't floss.
2 - Just hug a carrot!
3 - I'm playing pool but theres a filing cabinet in the way!

--------------------------

As you can tell the late hours and excessive amount of sugar got to us. We loved every minute of it, and I can't wait to do it again!
