In: me
25 Feb 2008The other day, I was very bored at home. Bryan was at school and I was just sitting around not doing much of anything (when only two people live in the house, there is only so much cleaning you can do). So I did what I normally do when I am bored: I called my mom. We chatted for a little bit and I complained that I was bored. She tried to help me think of something I could do, and finally decided that I just need a hobby. So I’ve been thinking about that for a little bit. What should I do for a hobby? She suggested that I need to scrapbook some of my pictures (Nearly 2 years after my wedding, I still don’t have a single wedding picture printed out), then added, “but stick to your strengths Katie, you could do it all on the computer.” I do already know all of the programs, and my business card does say graphic designer… so why not? So I have been looking a lot into the whole idea of digital scrapbooking (I am worried that my pages will come out more like newspaper layouts, because that is what I know, instead of cute pages). I think I am going to start. I need to set a goal or it won’t happen. So, my goal is by this time next week I will have made one page. (who knows how long it will take me to do a page) I think I’ll start with my recent San Francisco trip. So next Monday, I will post some pages about my San Fran trip. Look for it.
HELLO! Welcome to the blog of me, Katie Phelps. I am a born and raised Utahn and love Utah. I like chickens, jello, purple, fonts, my handsome husband and Taco Bell. These posts are my thoughts and events in my life. I'm sure you'll find it pretty exciting and want to come back again and again. Leave a comment, say "hi" and come back again soon!

That is great idea! If you need idea I know that Jessica Atkins in the ward does online scrapbooking and really likes it. I decided I needed a hobby too because I’m tired of filling out papers that ask what are you hobbies? I feel like I can’t really say sleeping in one and the only other thing I do is read in tub. So started making cards because there are always times that I wish had card on hand so I could give to someone or just to give as gifts. So way to go Katie I’ll be looking for your page next week.

Sometimes I feel like I have too many hobbies and not enough time. But enough about me…you should totally try digital scrapbooking. They aren’t as glitzy, but not everyone needs that. I pretty much gave up scrapbooking when I started to blog, and it is less glitzy, but I get it done.
p.s. Can’t wait to see the pages you make.
