WOYWW 29th February 2012

Greeting woywwers!!  I was out scrap shopping earlier and picked up a few bits and pieces but they are still in the bag... so on my desk today is the album I am working on... for my son, with all the photos from his trip out here last summer.
Doing male mini books is always a bit of a challenge for me as I have to resist adding all the bling and ribbons and stuff and keep looking at it like its naked, or something!!
and I am still getting over having to clear the driveway and path three times in one day!!  It just wouldn't stop snowing... I would clear it and a couple of hours later you would be hard pushed to know I had done anything!!

    I think you need to buy a snow plow. Especially with your neighborhood association's insane rules.

    I look forward to Christopher's album. I know men are very hard to scrap or make books for.

    I kept looking for your name. I've been checking every few minutes, just anxious to see what you are up to. Now I can rest for awhile (grin).

    The album is looking good, I think. The background papers are really nice. I've always liked the idea of living where it snows, but I guess the day to day business of dealing with it would be an entirely different matter! Happy WOYWW!

    We just get rain, rain and more rain. At least it drains away. The boy album looks good.

    Clearing all that snow really doesn't look like much fun sweetie, hope it stops so you can carry on crafting. Loving the mini book you're making and I sooooooooooo get that male aspect of crafting!

    3 times? Oh my.... I think Elizabeth is right, you need a plow! I think your album looks great. I don't scrapbook at all, but cards are hard enough for men, so I can imagine!
    Happy woyww, Helen 32.

    Hi there, thanks for letting us peek this week and I hope the rest of the week gives you some creative time too. Inbetween shovelling snow that is! The album is looking good and I'm sure it will be appreciated!

    You see, I think you're the only one in the street clearing the snow...take a million house points. Couldn't agree more about an album for a boy, am thinking of tackling one for my BiL but manage to keep putting it off. Is that black thread or the wires for some technology?

    That album is great, but I know what you mean about it seeming to be naked without all the bling and ribbon! Males are so hard to please, I mean what's the harm with a bit of ribbon! Happy Wednesday to you, enjoy this week's snoop of oh so creative places & take care. Zo xx 83

    Album looking great - snow not so great. Glad we only get it once a year (fingers crossed) and it's quite mild here. although a bit on the grey side but then grey is a colour too.

    Nice to see such a colourful album, mine would be all brown and the such if it was for a man. You can use lots of brads and eyelets and things like that, cogs, wheels - but then they might not fit in with the images. I will shut up. Look forward to seeing more of it if possible.
    Don't envy you the snow.
    Hugs, Neet #19 xx

    Your desk looks very industrious - hope you get your male mini book done, it's nice to have the challenge.

    Be careful of all that ice!

    Thanks for already coming to see my desk :)

    The book is looking good Annette.

    Poor you having to shovel all that snow - perhaps you need a tent-type tunnel leading to the house to keep the path clear during the snowy months.

    I just got home a few minutes ago and opened my mailbox to find your package! I eagerly opened the outer wrapper, then noticed everything inside is wrapped. So, I will take time to inspect and appreciate everything as soon as I get it all unwrapped (grin). Thank you SO much, even though I've yet to discover all the wonderful goodies inside. Of course, I know there's a puzzle piece, but that's all I know!

    OHHHH Annette. I'm in LOVE with everything. It took me awhile to go through everything, because I took a long time savoring each wonderfully wrapped package as I opened it. Of course, I can't tell you how much I love the TWO rocking horses, but I also love the other goodies, too. I'll post them all on Saturday, since I have to now finish my IA challenge for the week. And your puzzle puts mine to shame!!! thank you so, so much for outdoing yourself.

    Thanks for the share. Still working on my Navy grandson's album, not to hard since there is the specific theme and the many countries he has visited. Just time consuming and laziness on my part. #160
