Small scrapbooking group in Houston?

Question

I would like at least one talented, gifted person who has time on their hands to scrapbook with me & my mom. I would hopefully not have to pay them b/c this will be for fun and socializing, too. We need help ... especially me with newspaper clippings and the whole length of newspaper articles (front page). THANKS.

Answer 1

I would go onto creatingkeepsakes.com and there's something there called a finder, I can't remember the full name, but you look up your area and there's e-mails of people that want to find others that want to scrapbook with them!  You can find others in the Houstan area that are looking for people to scrapbook with, and it will tell you where in the area they are, etc.

It's worth a try!  I think it's called scrapbooker finder but there's a link at the top of the page, and if not, look under the community tab, click on that and it should be there and it will ask for your state and you should find others in your area looking for people to scrapbook with.  You can then e-mail them introducing yourself and telling them that you and your mom would love someone to scrap with.  

You don't pay them, you would be making a friend to get together with, and they may even know of a group that gets together, they are called crops, crops are where scrapbookers get together and scrapbook together.  You can also go to a local scrapbooking store or Michael's or AC Moore and see when they are offering crops and classes.  If you do find someone on the website though, they may know of crops you can go to.  You're NOT required to go to all of them, you just pay and go to the ones you want to go to, but to meet up and be friends with someone and scrap with them, you do NOT pay them!  The crops you pay for because you're paying for the food that's ordered and the space in the store, and the help that's offered through the time of the crop, etc.

I hope this helped and you can find someone to scrapbook with! Creatingkeepsakes.com also has a message board, you can go to the community tab on their homepage and go into their message board and ask, everyone their is wonderful!!  Scrapbookers are the nicest people!  They will welcome you and you can ask if there are any crops, I'm sure if you post on their scrapbooking boards, you'll get tons of answers.  Between that and going through their finder, you're bound to make great friends to scrapbook with!

I hope this helps!
