Weekend Progress and Setbacks

This was a weekend of highs and lows in the crafty department. I’ll start with the lows. Here’s my August block for my quilting group.

These pieces here? They are all too small. I have to recut and resew. All this because I skipped over the part in the instructions where I was supposed to trim the half square triangle blocks down. Arghh!!

Anyway, now for the progress part.
The biggest high was finally getting all these scrapbook projects done.

All the layouts and some of the writing was done before the weekend started. I went to a friend’s workshop and worked about 9 hours to get all four of them completely done and ready for showing off. That’s about 3 years worth of life in those four books. And look at how thick they are! They are heavy, too, and I won’t even mention how much shelf space they take up. Lugging these things around all weekend really made me consider converting to all digital.
Do any of you do digital scrapbooking? What do you use?
