International Scrapbook Day Is Coming


Hey everyone! Welcome! Today, let's talk about the upcoming International Scrapbook Day (INSD) Weekend. It is Saturday, May 2, 2020.

I became aware of this special day when I was an active gal at the papercrafting site, Two Peas In A Bucket. I always looked forward to the challenges and the chats. It was a great way to try different techniques and meet new people. I must admit, I chatted more than I scraped. LOL!  Oh and the badges we earned for completing challenges. That was exciting!

Here is a little bit of background for those of you who aren't familiar with this event. Scrapbook dot com said,
"Mark your calendar for the first Saturday in May, because that's the special day that scrapbookers all over the globe look forward to. National Scrapbook Day (or International Scrapbook Day as we call it around here to include crafters from all over the world) began in 1994 and is now celebrated by crafter everywhere! Whichever way you say it, or you celebrate it, National Scrapbook Day or NSD is about scrapbookers and the memories they create."

Several places will be offering crops, giveaways and even virtual fun Friday, May 1st thru Sunday, May 3rd.  Here are some fun places that will be celebrating and offering activities.

There are probably several other places that will be offering INSD events. If you know of any, leave a comment below. Also, leave a comment if you plan on celebrating.

I plan to do some scrapbooking and join in the fun. I haven't scraped in a while and it will be good to make a few layouts this weekend. Maybe you can join in or have a virtual INSD party with your friends. (I am trying to learn about Zoom. Fingers crossed! LOL!)

Well, thanks for stopping by and get your scrapbook party on! :)

P.S.  HSN is having their 24 hour craft show Tuesday, May 5, 2020.

    I hate I missed the fun. I had to work two 12 hour shifts that weekend and of course when I got off I was totally exhausted and had to catch up on a few hours of sleep. I did manage to create that gift bag though. Thanks for sharing. I'll still drop by the sites to catch up on what I missed. Be blessed and stay safe.

      Thanks so much for dropping by!!! Sorry you had to work but if you go to Instagram and look for @americancrafts they had a whole day of live and prerecorded videos from lots of the "celebrity" designers. So fun to see. The videos are in their feed and/or their IGTV. Your bag was so beautiful, too.

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

Housework or Handcrafts?

Welcome to Inspired Me 411! Here's a question, would you rather wash dishes or craft???? My hand is up for CRAFTING!!!! Do you ever feel like spending time doing arts and crafts is "lollygagging"  or wasting time? During this global pandemic, most of us are busy cooking, cleaning, home schooling, working and other tasks. We are all in need of some personal play time especially now, right? When I am at my art table, I feel peaceful and that result has been good enough for me. But as I was doing some research, I discovered much, much more was happening in my body and mind. The research tells the benefits based on scientific, psychological, historical and personal accounts. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist or scientist but I am a woman who has faced depression, anxiety and related conditions for years. When I started on my journey of wellness and self care, arts and crafts became one of my best remedies. It didn't heal all my problems but it has given...
