Scrapbooking and Art Exhibit

This afternoon, Mother and I attended a scrapbook club meeting at the Extension Office. Only one other lady was able to come. Of the other members, one expected a visit from in-laws today, one was busy sorting through her recently deceased mother's home to make it ready to put on the market, and another was ill.

The three of us who showed up, though, enjoyed each other's company and the opportunity to design a few scrapbook pages. Mother and I worked on Granddaughter's recent baby shower. We'd prepared for the meeting yesterday by choosing which photos and background papers we'd use today. Now, all we need to do is add elements and journaling to complete the six pages we worked on this afternoon.

After the meeting, we stopped by the art gallery downtown to see a young artists exhibit. I love kids' art. They are so creative and uninhibited. Today, we saw the works of children ranging in age from kindergarten to twelfth grade, who had used a variety of mediums, such as batik, watercolors, pencil, graphite, paper mosaic, and embossed metal.

We came away with smiles on our faces that should last well into the evening.
