Finishing Faithbooking ~ Step 1: A Place

A cardtable...

    A coffee table...

        Your little corner of the world...

Step 1 in Finishing Faithbooking is to make

            A Place

You don't need a whole room.  You don't even need a whole table.  You just need a little corner to make an eternal impact.

Your first assignment is to make your Place this week.  Walk through your home and find a little spot that can be yours.  Dust off an old table or computer desk, clear off a shelf, make a table, a desk, or get a cardboard box.  

I set My Place up yesterday.  I'd love to have a scrapbooking room - but, I don't - I have a table. 

Eventually, I will make this cheap, easy collage or maybe even create this picture wall.  But for this moment - I want to share it with you as it is - ready for step 2 - NOW.  

This set-up took me just over an hour!  I know you have 1 hour this week...

A little bit about what makes My Place special to me:

• The area - A corner of our game room where no one puts or does anything except pile up what they don't know what to do with (30 min)
• The table - It was already in this corner - full of stuff :) .... It is special to me because it was my grandmother's, then my mom's.  Growing up, it was the table we sat around every holiday - precious memories!
• The fabric - Can you tell my favorite color?  It was a scrap piece I had laying around in a box.  I didn't cut it or even finish the edges...I just ironed it (20 min)
• The shawl on the back of the chair - A prayer shawl my best friend had made for me after my mom passed away.  Perfect for cold legs during late night scrapping.
• The picture - The porch from the House that Built Me.  The porch, with its lemonade & welcoming ferns, was my mom's favorite spot in her home.  It was the location for changing eternity through life-altering conversations, Bible Studies, & salvation of souls.  The porch impacted eternity the way I want my albums to impact my family. 
• My cricut - Just 'cause I like looking at it.  Not sure how much I will use it, so, I grabbed a dish towel, lavender of course and covered it - no fancy cricut cover needed.

1 hour and $0.00 later, I am ready for step 2 of 4 in Finishing Faithbooking.

This week, email, tweet, or call a friend who used to or has never tried scrapbooking.  Challenge & encourage each other to find 1 hour.  Then, set up YOUR PLACE to get ready to leave a legacy for eternity....

While you are setting up your place - I'm going to get ready for Finishing Faithbooking ~ Step 2.
