Scrap University!!


Summer is drawing to a close. It's time again to buy those backpacks and pencil cases. Stores have all the latest back to school fashions and aisles full of school supplies. Yes, Fall is right around the corner and school is about to start again for another year. But, that doesn't have to be the end of our scrappy summer fun! No, Scrap-Friendzy is getting ready to open our doors to our first ever Scrap University! Enrollment will soon be open for all to attend Scrap U, where you will want to come to educate yourself in every scrappy way possible!

Beginning September 1st, Scrap U will be offering classes (challenges) in every subject that will also include lessons (tutorials) for you to learn. There will also be lots of extra credit assignments and after school activities that will not only keep you busy, but will also help you make the grade. At the end of September, grades will be calculated and we will decide who our class Valedictorian will be. Our Valedictorian will be the winner of a fun scrappy prize!!!!

So gather all your scrappy school supplies and get ready to register at Scrap U, the University where all the Scrappy Girlz go!

Announcing Our June Guest DT!!

Earning an astounding 1532 Friendz Pointz last month, our Guest DT for June aka "Girlfriend Of The Month" is.......Susie!!!!!

Hi! I'm SusieQ! I live in upstate New York! I'm the wife of almost 35 years to my high school sweetheart! I am the mother of 3 grown children, 2 boys and 1 girl. I have 4 grandsons and am still waiting for a granddaughter. I am extremely active in my church
and feel that without my faith I am nothing!
I did not start scrapping till my first grandson was 1 month old and that was exactly 9 years ago this month! June 2001! Boy has my scrapping changed since then! I create my pages around my photos generally ! I have been told my scrap style is eclectic! I just do what feels right to me! LOL! My favorite time to scrap is late at night, although hubby is not thrilled with that! I am also a decorative painter so I do both hobbies in the same craft area which can be interesting at times. I love to be inspired by challenges and I love deadlines because they make me get things done that I would otherwise put off! I am definetly a procastinator!!!
