A New Hobby

by on February 25, 2008 in me

The 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.

    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.
