My kids are out of the house and this is the time I spend with some of my friends. We stay at a house 90 minutes north of us in Michigan. The woman that owns this house owns several houses that she has created for scrapbookers, crafters, and quilters. I think we go 4-5 times a year.

Francės, is there a way to add all my photos here, or just a video? It only lets me add one photo.

Nvmd, lol, I see how to add it here. I’ll post it here and also in the Facebook group.

Are you asking for it to be posted in this thread, or start a new thread in this space?

I have mostly given as gifts, I’ve sold a couple, and I have some I need to photograph and post for sale. I have one I just made for a baby shower that I need to share in our group. It’s super cute, simple, but cute.

I absolutely love all of the above! I think the thing I love the most is that you have designed a way to teach me how to create a beautiful gift, or album, that I can be so PROUD of, to give away, or offer for sale. I love that I can start with simple items and create such a desirable memory keeping album. It’s such an enjoyable, and relaxing, way to spend my time. Your encouragement throughout your tutorials is second to none. From the very first album I made, your calming voice made me feel like I could make anything you throw out to us. I’m so grateful for your talent and your willingness to share with us every day. Thank you, Frances!!!

I just really enjoy the process….especially when I watch the tutorials first so I don’t spend time ripping paper off because I did it my way and my way wasn’t exactly the right way 🤭

I absolutely love your story!! It’s amazing how all of the little things add up to a bigger and bigger thing. I also really love that you found a way to buy your tools, supplies, and tutorials by cashing those cans in. That’s almost my favorite part of your story, to want something so bad, and to find such a great and simple way to generate money so you could make your dream and vision come to fruition!!! I’m so grateful for you, and grateful for your gift that you share with all of us. Hugs my friend!!!
