Come on, I know that's exactly what you are all thinking. Well let me tell you
how I got that name. My kids for years have called me Mominator. Okay this lady
is crazy...Scrapinator, Mominator? I know, I know! I am crazy and so is my
family but I love them dearly. I really love how funny my boys are. They crack
me up every day. My oldest is the one who came up with Scrapinator5000. I asked
him what I should call my crafty alter ego. Well, Mominator wouldn't work
because that's very Mom and I needed Craft. Since I had just finished a
scrapbook for him, he came up with Scrapinator. It just didn't sound exciting
enough so he added the 5000 onto the end. Why? Don't know. It just sounded
better.
So what is this blog going to be about? Well scrapbooking of
course. LOTS of people fell in love with scrapbooking years ago by being
invited to a Making Memories home party right? I know you remember those but
had no idea what it was when you were invited and really had no idea how
addicting scrapbooking can be. Well I have expanded my craftiness outside of
scrapbooking and really love all kinds of paper crafts as well as altered items
and multi-media projects.
This blog will be about my craft projects and
learning. I love learning new things and getting new ideas. I love figuring out
how to do something different, putting my own twist on it and getting
inspiration from all kinds of places. I will be scrapbooking of course but also
making cards, mini albums, journals, altered books, ATCs, altered items, making
books and paper, multi-media projects, collages and of course junque (yes I
spelled that right) and art journaling.
I love to recycle, reuse and figure out how to make it myself. I will not buy something I can make or recycle. I will have lots of tips for newbies on how to do it you self and do
it cheap. I will do tutorials and honest product reviews and make suggestions
on what to buy and what not to buy, what you need and what you can do
without.Most of all, I just want to have fun. Hope you do too.
