The Other Blog

No, not the cooking one that’s been sitting, rather neglected. I mean, the other, new blog that I created last week where I’ll be putting (almost) all of my scrapbooking content. I started needles & vectors as a place to write about, well, everything that as going on in my life from school to work to crafts but, I don’t know, I feel the need to separate the scrapbooking stuff to another place.

I’ll pretend it’s because I don’t want to annoy my (pithy) reader / subscriber list with the more frequest posts which are more likely – a sweater takes three weeks, a scrapbook page takes (me, at least) an hour or less.

Or, more likely, it’s because I’m embarassed to admit I scrapbook. Your average person would probably think of scrapbooking as more normal than knitting for someone my age. But, as we all know, I don’t live in the world of normal people. In our little craft world, it’s the black sheep. Something about the fact that 90% of scrapbookers are stay at home mothers who obsessively scrap every single event in their lives. (A page about your kid’s first day of kindergarden is one thing – a page dedicated to what they had for lunch every day that first week, that goes a bit over the line.) Plus, there’s the cutesy factor. Sure, I thing smaller versions of everyday objects are adorable and, every now and then, I find something covered in flowers attractive, but the cutesy level is just overboard with some pages out there. Millions of stickers, borders, brads, etc to the point where you can’t even tell what’s going on in a photo because it’s been made to be so tiny.

Whatever my reason, you can find all that scrappy stuff over here.
