It Is, After All, All About Me...

Hello all... to those of you who joined my pity party a few days ago, I promise this party will be MUCH more fun!  I joined in with a whole lotta other talented, creative and crafty people in this lovely Blog Hop. Please jump on in and enjoy hopping around.  I hope you find (or have already found) a lot of inspiration.

If you've found me from Havoc and Mayhem, you're on the right path!  If you're just starting out by visiting my blog feel free to continue on, or start at the beginning at I Speak Melsh.  Mel is our great and powerful organizer and conveniently has all of the participants listed so you can travel around the world learning about those of us hosting this party.  Before you leave, though, please keep reading and take a gander at my project.

It is, after all, All About Me! 

Let me officially welcome you to the All About Me blog hop!  We'll keep you moving through our group with links to your next stop (so keep reading!)  Our inspiration came from a free class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called, strangely enough, "All About Me".  The class guidelines teach you how to create an adorable accordian minibook and storage tin, but as I hadn't a tin, nor the desire to make an accordian album, I steered off on a different route.  Following the exact project isn't really what we were going for, but more the inspiration of the project, so I wasn't really breaking any rules.  I was, however, very inspired, and this will only be the beginning...

Back of Book

In case you're curious, I used my favorite Blackboard album by Cosmo Cricket and all paper and most embellishments are My Little Yellow Bicycle: Vita Bella. 

I must say, this was an absolutely fun project because it WAS all about me.  I know as a wife, worker and mother of kids two-legged and four-legged (not necessarily in that order) plus a multitude of other "roles", I often put myself way down in the priority order.  I think many woman share in that syndrome.  This project was truly ALL about me, and I really enjoyed myself.  If you haven't done anything for yourself lately, try this project.  Put your own spin on it. But keep it all about YOU.  It's very ... freeing. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed my project, now... keep hopping!  Your next stop on this All About Me blog hop is Captured On Film.  Click the link to move on.  And if you started at the very beginning over at I Speak Melsh, you're almost at the end! I hope you have enjoyed this journey and found some inspiration along the way.

If you started with me, you're only just beginning!  Keep going to see all of the other All About Me interpretations and find some fresh inspiration.

Regardless, at the very least take some time... do something all about and for you.  You won't regret it and, as in my case, it may get addicting!
