Scrapbooking meets Twitter

One of my favorite things to do for my scrapbooking business is to be social! I socialize with REAL PEOPLE just like you Face to Face (not just through IP addresses) but also with my Virtual Friends (those would be the IP addresses – probably where I know most of you from).

The most exciting is by far and wide Twitter. I can be found on Twitter by the Username lovetoscrapbook.  I can also be found on Facebook by the username and page for Scrapbooking Directions .

I am pretty much posting all the time.

But what I love most about Twitter (and the status updates in Facebook for that matter)  is that I am forced to keep it simple! Which means I can be quick but also smart about my efforts.  Not to mention witty from time to time.

(I think it’s possible that my wittiness can get me into trouble – but so what, I am human and PROUD to be WHO I AM!!!!).

ANYHOW…the point of this post is to tell you about one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter…you might know of her…she can be found on twitter by the username czdesign (http://www.twitter.com/czdesign) she is otherwise known however by the name: Cathy Zielske.  She is hilarious.

She is so down to earth its great.  She’s certainly my kind of lady, she keeps me laughing and smiling all day long with her random tweets and she doesn’t even know me (at least I don’t think so).  Possibly after today she will.  Who knows.

Anyhow…if you don’t know Cathy yet, you should.  She is the owner of Bits & Pieces and she is a big picture scrapbooking contributor.  Cathy is taking this whole concept of twitter into a NEW realm!  She’s hosting a 4 week workshop on it and if for no other reason than how much FUN she is…I think you should join.

I might even catch you there.

Scrapbook Your Thoughts

Your thoughts are the reason you scrapbook.  You see an event to take place and you want to preserve your memories (your thoughts), you watch a television show that makes you think about the people you love and how you can show it and share it, you meet a new baby and you want to follow the life of this child in a way that help them learn more about themselves as they grow older…

Whatever the reason…you think about something and how you can make it a lasting moment of your life.

Scrapbooking your thoughts will do exactly that.  It will make all of the moment’s you live through or live for – a lasting moment.  You can relive every thought, every feeling, every sense – in a way that could never be done otherwise.

So what are you thinking about today?  Are you journaling that?  If not, maybe its time to create that journal.  Maybe it’s time to put your thoughts on paper – even if you can’t get them onto a layout yet.

Journaling is one of the most important parts of scrapbooking.  So if you love scrapbooking – you should appreciate the value in storing your thoughts on a daily basis until you have time to scrapbook.

You should start today too!

Happy Scrapping!
