It seems like I've been clipping odd pictures and recipes from magazines for eons - and several years ago, I started putting them into this Mary Engelbreit binder. I've been calling it my possibilities scrapbook. After I decimated my collection of ME Home Companion magazines a couple of weeks ago, I had a huge new pile of clippings to trim and add to my book. Well, it was a great project for a rainy Sunday afternoon. They're all neatly put away - but in no particular order, which I am sure will shock anyone who truly knows me. I did that on purpose - the joy of thumbing through the scrapbook is how random it is - and how little things in the photographs catch your eye, especially things you didn't notice the first time through. Odd how strangely satisfying a really meaningless little project can be, isn't it?
This is SO not meaningless!!!!Have you read 'Simple Abundance' by Sarah Ban Breathnach? She suggest doing EXACTLY what you just did! Do not underestimate the impact this project will have on your life!
ReplyDeleteSometimes those "simple" projects are just what's needed. For me they soothe my need for order.
ReplyDeleteFeels so good to get this accomplished, doesn't it? And as hard as it was to cut up the magazines, to be able to look in one binder and enjoy the best parts is so wonderful.
