scrapbook

So this is my first real scrapbook -- the first one of an event.  I'm on my second One Little Word album, but that's a different sort of thing.  I love seeing other people's scrapbooks and always think that I'd like to have scrapbooks of my things, but it seemed overwhelming to try.  Then I signed up for this class on Big Picture Classes.  Finish Line Scrapbooking by Stacy Julian.  You just sort of throw it all together, in a good way, and it makes a great album!  Here's a couple of my pages:

This is out visiting my friend walking on a lake! I live where it never gets cold enough to freeze a lake enough to walk on it.  There were actually cars further out on the ice.  Crazy stuff! 

There are ways to make the album prettier, but I wanted to get mine done fast.  And I did!  I got it done in a day.  (And I didn't spend all day doing it.)  I am quite happy with it and I enjoyed it enough to look forward to doing another one. 

in which The Distracted Dame wields a crow-bar to great effect

Well, friends.  After a long haitus from both blogging and working on my camper, afore-mentioned-in-many-words, I was tempted outside by a genuinely beautiful Christmas break Saturday and put in another installment of working on my camper.  I thought I would share a few photos from the Day of Demo....

How things looked in the calm before the storm...

My darling brother tearing out one of the cabinets

The cabinet used to be over that wheelwell

The "kitchen" cabinet, in process

Nasty insulation under the cabinet

Cabinet, dinette and table GONE!

All of the trim, screws and hardware I could pry off and unscrew in an afternoon...

Cute and classy!

It took part of another afternoon to rip out the couch/bed from the other end of the camper.  I am now pretty much down to the nitty-gritty work of pulling apart the walls and skin.  I uncovered a lot of holes in the floor during all that demolition....  And I must admit, I am wondering if I'll have to reskin the whole thing as well as replace the wood.  Sounds like I'll have to bring under real cover before I do much more!
