A Peaceful Place To Be: Oklahoma Memory Book

Oklahoma Memory Book

Debby Schuh of The Memory Bee came to the Paper Crown in Oklahoma City last week to teach several classes. I was only able to attend one of her beautiful classes, but look at this fabulous Oklahoma Memory Album we made!

I am not originally from Oklahoma, (I'm from Connecticut) but I have lots of memories that I have made in the 12 years I have been here so it shouldn't be hard for me to fill this album up.

Debby was so generous in her kits, I have tons of paper and stickers to use as I add my memories.

I'm usually a very slow crafter, but for the most part, I was able to keep up. Yay me!

None of us were able to complete the books in the class, but I was absolutely determined to get mine finished and ready to use.

I think this is a record for me - only four days after class is over, and I have my book completely assembled! I'm on a roll, baby! ;)

If you want to get a closer look at these pages, just click on the photo and it will zoom for a better look.

Lots of fun detail, fold outs, envelopes, page protecter inserts - just fun!

Oh! and a bonus was getting to see a bunch of my friends in OKC that I haven't seen all summer!

Isn't this fun!?!

My problem would be not wanting to fill it because it would cover up all that cute paper.

I'm impressed! Your book looks great, and you should be so proud to be finished. Mine is still in the bag, but I did work on my Little Me book a bit. Packing everything up right now to move my craft room, but I'll try to catch up next month. It was wonderful to see you, and I hope Phoebe is feeling better!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
