Well, as some of you know, in February of this year John (the man I've been seeing for nearly five years now) proposed. This statement does not do it justice. I said yes (!) and so began our engagement. Now, being crafty, I use this fact as another reason to be creative. Recently, I put together a scrapbook for my future mother in law. Scrapbooking is not one of the crafts I have much experience with, so I found it somewhat overwhelming. I went to a cute little scrapbooking store in the same building as my studio space.
The Crop Shop is a little shop run by a very nice woman who was extremely helpful. She put me at ease about the whole experience and I left with a kit for making an engagement themed scrapbook. (Actually she is in the process of moving to a new street level space in the same building!)
My favorite part of this scrapbook is a decoupage wedding couple I put on the last page.
I made them from pieces cut out of magazines and made them to resemble us. I love the way the wedding dress came out and I just hope my real dress is as elegant.
A close friend of mine,
Jenn, took the pictures at the
Highline Park in Chelsea. I love them so much and my scrapbook is better consequentially.
