Lisa Bearnson...

I came back from Scrapfest - pumped to scrapbook! Not just any page but a Lisa Bearnson page! I took both classes from this fantastic lady. After these classes I left thinking about my albums in a whole different light.

One class was LIVE, LEARN, PASS IT ON.........Making you stop and think about the "Journey" of life, our families and the legacy our scrapbooks leave behind. What we want generations later to know about our Journey. I was so "touched" by this class that Shelley and I are working on a whole class curriculm based on it. I always knew that scrapbooking was a preservation process but I have to start realizing more that I am the historian, I am the photographer, I am the scrapbooker that hopes to leave a legacy of history behind.

SCRAPBOOKING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE is the 2nd class I took. We created a fab mini album just about yourself. What I liked, how I would characterize myself, what makes me - ME!

On Saturday morning when the knock on our door came and it was her - Lisa Bearson! My heart jumped - you know that feeling of nervousness.
But I must quote my Best Buddy Melissa in saying that after the first 5minutes talking with her you forgot it was "the" Lisa Bearson and realized she was a women who was as passionate about this hobby as us, that she is genuinly a great person who deserves all the glory she should be recongnized for. The photo shoot was a blast! She wouldn't give up till it was a great shot....I think there might be another one out there with my face showing LOL.

She talked about QVC, HOF, the upcoming issue of CK, her home, photography, "Balancing" Life with her career, fashion (take a look at her scrapbooky top), and more!

Thanks Lisa - for completeing a "circle" for me. I feel like I'm a new mission with my albums.

Smiles,
