My Life………Before I Was Your Mother

Beginning in June, I will be holding the My Life…..Before I Was Your Mother Challenge, starting it off with an introductory chat in the chat room at e-scapeandscrap. Time and date yet to be scheduled.

The purpose of this challenge is to create an album about yourself from birth on up. It will be a wonderful legacy to leave your children and generations yet to come! I wish I’d had just this thing from my parents or grandparents.

During the chat, I’ll explain the current month’s challenge and also be giving you prompts to help you with your pages and tips on what to journal. We’ll work on 2 or 3 pages each month and before we know it, we’ll have at least a 20 page album done!

I plan on having mine printed into a book at one of the various online book publishing sites. OR you may want to print the pages yourself and make your own album.

I’ll have a featured kit at a special price that you may use if you wish for your album.
Posting bonuses will vary depending on whether or not you use my featured kit, but EVERYONE will get SOMETHING for participating!!

I will have the chat notes available for you to download so you can use them as you work through your challenge for any particular month.

Keep an eye out for my ads declaring the first chat, watch the blog here for an announcement, and be sure to get your Newsletter from e-scapeandscrap as I’ll have the information available there also.

I hope to see you beginning in June and every month thereafter for this exciting, fun-filled challenge.

Until then,
Happy Scrapping!!

Recipe Cards from Escape Artist Katherine Lent

Shrimp Étouffée is a Creole and Cajun dish typically served with shellfish or chicken over rice and is similar to gumbo. It is most popular in New Orleans and in the bayou country of the southernmost half of Louisiana. Katherine used the collab kit, Kindred Spirits. Enjoy!
