Straight No Chaser Discussion

Susan, I'm not writing a book (I can't write creatively to save my life); I'm actually making another journal. :) And thanks! Seggie went there for his master's program, I believe. That's what Ryan told me, anyway. And it's on his Facebook page. ;)

Shaina, Is it a book you are writing? That would be wonderful as well. By the way, congratulations on your graduation and good luck at USC. Didn't one of the guys go there. I may be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere.

Kim, that would be great! You know, I've seen a star like the one you've made at Disneyland, and every time I see it, I think of you. It's in a restaurant, I think, in Frontierland. (Just another reason to come visit me and Sarah T here in Cali!)

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I love working with paper, and I have been for many years, doing scrapbooking, origami, kirigami, cardmaking, and bookbinding. I just love it! In fact, I'm in the process of making a book right now! If anyone wants to try to make books or anything, give me a holler! I know where all the good online tutorials are! ;)

Thanks, Susan! Completely different type of talent than Shaina's bookbinding! Hers amazes me! :)

The star that you are talking about took me over 80 hours to complete. I'm getting ready to make one for my mom, so I might have to give your video suggestion some thought! (But maybe not all 80 hours ;-) If I make another album cover, I'll try to record it and put it up, too.

Shania: When the SNC crew views your video, they will have even more appreciation for your gift to each of them. I'm totally amazed by your every day as I learn more about you! Hope graduation went well and hope you have a fun Summer as you prepare for USC this Fall. You one awesome "lady."

Klancy, I want to see a video on how you made your stained glass gifts as well. I especially loved the star in your profile picture. Talk about talent.

Are you kidding me (x 10)!!! What a great project! Love it, Shaina!

I agree Susan! I watched that video and was amazed. I'm somewhat creative but the details that go into her journal are tremendous.

Shaina, you are a very talented young lady and have a very bright future ahead of you. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. Stay focused and you will continue to do very well. The journals were really cute but the video is awesome, I will have my granddaughter watch the video and help her make one of her own. I'm sure there are many more fans with young children that would love having the visual instructions of an easy project they can work on together. Keep up the great work.

Awww, Susan, thanks! I've loved making little journals, and I thought the guys might like a special SNC one of their own!
