Great mystery box and some very nice papers in there.

The mystery section was just plain fun to look at! TFS

Nice to see a little more current stuff for a change. ~Melanie

It looks like the mystery box ended up being a “to do” box. 😁. Have you started on your childhood yet? I hope to get to see some of your layouts for that. There is some really pretty paper. Do you have a collection of Graphic 45? I have a ton. I want to purge some. Do you want some? I am not planning on purging for a while, though. I am dealing with life things. 😁. I would love to hear about the different subscriptions you have joined and what made you join them and what made you stop and of course I would like to see the paper that the different places, sent. I keep thinking of joining some place, but then I think if I get a bunch of stuff I don’t like I wasted my time and money. Thanks for sharing the mystery box. It was enlightening. 😁

I haven’t really started on my childhood… been thinking about but I also don’t have a ton of photos so part of my needing to sort out is how to approach it. I love graphic 45 but I don’t always know how to use it for my style. Lends itself to a mini album of sorts? As far as subscriptions go we can talk about in Fridays zoom if you are connecting? ~ Melanie

Fun surprises in your mystery bin. That one paper really does look like parts of New England in fall. Hope you get here someday.

[@ACreativelyCraftedLife]

Me too! Maybe once I’m retired because fall is my busiest time of year at work! ~Melanie

Love watching your videos but I’d have to live to be 116 to get through all the paper you have, lol!

[@ACreativelyCraftedLife]

Haha… I reckon I have to live to be 300 🥴. At this point I’m thinking it’s a “collection” like postage stamp or coin collecting only I collect paper… in addition to being a craft supply. -Melanie

Your story prompts are terrific. Re: tornado paper - is there a pic of your house around that time? I still can't manage layouts w/o photos.

[@ACreativelyCraftedLife]

I don’t think I have a photo of our house but I wouldn’t be surprised if I could find some sort of news photo… which is probably what I’d do… I think. 🤔 ~Melanie
