Here is a 6" pot I painted. I have to thank my friend Karen Taylor for the inspiration.

Mini Album
Several months back, I started my first mini scrapbooking album. I really like this concept and have many mini album ideas running through my head however, I have a procrastinating problem. I think about all the things I want to do, I research and gather information, I purchase the products, then...........................the products and information lay in my room and I sit on the couch playing on this silly computer. I have a computer and t.v. in my room, I can play in there, I need my motivation to kick my butt and get me restarted :) .
Alas, I digress, this isn't a blog about my procrastination, it is a blog about my first mini album. The mini album is a paper bag album idea that I picked up off of youtube from Laura of Following the Paper Trail (I think). It has a Cayman Island theme and I am using photos that I took while we were on our excursion to Cayman during our cruise. The album came together quite nicely as far as just putting the bag together, etc... I picked some great papers to use... I cut tags to put into the bags and behind photos... I glued in the papers and photos... I FORGOT TO ADD MY EYELETS AND BRADS BEFORE I GLUED THE PAPERS AND PHOTOS IN, whimper. I know better. Now, I am having a hard time staying with the album to complete it. I am so disappointed. ...SIGH
I am not a quitter, I haven't started any other mini albums because I haven't finished my first one. I AM GOING TO FINISH IT. I just need to add a few more photos, no I will not add brads and eyelets to them before I glue them because it would make thing out of sync or not balanced, and the rest of the embellishments. I will finish this in the next week or two BUT, I now feel like I can at least start building my next mini album.
A Sooner's luv 4 Krafting doesn't always go right but it goes.... ;)
I will add some pictures soon.
