Trying to scrap in NYC

To all my fans that don't exist yet I want to introduce myself, my name is Erika and besides all the things I love in my life, my husband, my dog Tobey, and my family, I love to SCRAP. When I say scrap I mean spend lots of time creating pages of a scrapbook with wonderful memories of my life and the people close to me. Scrapping is extremely time consuming, especially when you have a full time job, husband, & dog and live in NYC. Besides for all these distractions which make it hard to enjoy my hobby 24/7, living in 1 bedroom apartment can be tough spread out and craft. Sometimes I wish I lived in Long Island and had a house with an amazing scrapbook room like the ones that the serious scrapbookers on scrapbook.com post pics of. I am soooooo jealous of how much space they have. But I'm not ready to give up the exciting life of living in NYC just yet. There is just too much that NYC has too offer, leaving now would be like taking 10 yrs off my life.

"Having said that" (yes I did steal this line from the season finale of curb your enthusiam) I will be devoted to my blog, I will document what its like to be a real scrapper living in NYC, I will post the joys and hardships of scrapping and hopefully entertain myself and all of you along the way.

By the way, I really was inspired by the movie Julia & Julia, I am thinking one day my blog will get a book/movie deal. Hey- we all have dreams.
