What is Scrapbooking?
Do you remember those days as a kid pasting newspaper clippings
onto paper and bundling dozens of papers together with some
fancy ribbon or a string? Do you also remember all of your hard
work falling apart two months later?
Now there's a grown up way to save and preserve your treasures:
Scrapbooking.
The concept behind scrapbooking hasn't changed since grade
school. You can still place photographs, newspaper clippings,
poems, and tickets into your scrapbook to display and preserve
your memories.
However, scrapbooking techniques and tools have matured
substantially since you were a kid. Scrapbooking albums have
replaced the messy bundles of paper. These albums a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Film versus Digital for Weddings |
| |
|
As a professional Oregon wedding photographer I get this
question asked more than anything else. Rarely will somebody ask
me about my wedding photography education, awards, or
professional memberships. I believe the root to this question
lies on misinformation about the different qualities of film and
digital.
Film
For a photographer with no computer experience or who does not
want to spend the time correcting digital files film is the way
to go. Film allows the photographer to photograph a wedding or
event and at the end of the day be done with the process. When
the time comes to print the photographs the photo lab will take
care of color balance adjustments and retouching. From a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hobby or Hinderance? |
| |
|
Ask a room full of people what hobby they have and you will get
as many answers as there are people. Others will confess that
they don’t have a hobby. They probably do; but just don’t label
it as such. By definition, a hobby is an activity or interest
pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in
primarily for pleasure.
Whether stamp collecting, chat rooms, trains, soft ball,
scrapbooking, golf, reading, painting, tap dancing, yard work,
crafts, auto mechanics, music, hunting down garage sales,
sewing, fishing, cooking, boating, furniture refinishing,
javelin tossing or a plethora of other activities or interests
the key element is balance. You must find balance between you (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Putting, what do I do now? |
| |
|
It is perhaps the supreme irony in golf that the simplest shot
in the book seems to cause the biggest problem to the largest
number of golfers.
Lets's face it, the putt is the only golf shot that it is really
possible to execute flawlessly without any tuition at all. We
all start off doing this as kids. Some of us are even superb at
it at this young age. It is this shot that is often the spur
that leads to a lifelong addiction to this wonderful game of
golf.
What then, goes wrong? How can this easiest of golf shots become
the absolute bane of an adult golfer's life? Sorry to say, there
is no easy answer. Experts are just as baffled as inexperienced
amateurs over this one. The saying 'i (read full article) |

There are some fundamental rules to the game of golf. Serious
golfers often disagree on what the basics consist of, but if you
are among the millions who desperately want to improve their
golf swing, these basic tips will help you tremendously and save
you a lot of frustration.
The three most important steps you should keep in mind are to
keep your head perfectly still, relax your muscles, and keep
your club head traveling in a straight line while making contact
with the ball. The simple act of keeping your head still
throughout your shot can improve your swing immediately. By
keeping your club head in a straight line while making contact
with the ball, you will avoid slicing and several (read full article) |

|
Sometimes it's hard to imagine that the stars who shine so
brightly on cinematic screens are people just like the rest of
us. We often think that their lives are so much more interesting
and exciting than our own and that we have little or nothing in
common with the Hollywood crowd.
Well, it may surprise you to know that at least some of today's
hottest stars enjoy perfectly normal leisure activities that we
might acquaint more readily with something your grandmother
enjoys doing.
I'm talking about crafts. More specifically, knitting and
crocheting. These two activities are especially hot in recent
years and Hollywood stars and other celebrities are certainly
not immune to the lure of a (read full article) |

| |
|
Believe it or not, the most important tool for tuning and
modifying RC cars, in any RC racer's pit box, probably isn't
even sold at your local hobby store. Despite thier absence at
hobby stores, you will see them laying on EVERY serious RC pro's
pit area.
The tool is, collectively, the pencil and paper. One of the most
enjoyable experiences in RC cars, besides buying a new trick
ride, is testing something new, in the hope you will discover
the slight edge, or even a HUGE edge.
Today's RC cars, buggies, and trucks have so many variables that
can be tinkered with, even the slightest adjustment can have a
drastic effect on the handling and speed of your ride. Whether
you race or just bash (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Tips for Using Metallic Threads |
| |
|
Metallic threads can add beautiful accents to any piece, but
many people avoid using them because of the difficulties they
can cause. This article will share with you some tips on how to
make using metallic threads a lot easier.
1. Make sure that the fabric is taut on your frame at all times.
2. Purls (a fragile corkscrew of soft pliable wire that can’t be
restored to the original shape after it’s been distorted) are
especially fragile and must be treated with the utmost care. 3.
Any metal thread wrapped around a core should be handled with
extra care since when the outer layer has started to unwind
there is no way to fix it. 4. Most handmade metal threads can be
hand washed. 5. Two l (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Keeping Your Needlework Clean |
| |
|
The best way to clean your needlework is to keep it clean from
the beginning; this doesn’t always happen (as I very well know).
I can give you some tips on how to make this more likely to
happen, and also how to get out those inevitable stains.
One of the first things you can do to prevent stains is to set
the colors in your fabric and floss. It isn’t always necessary
to wash your fabric first, but a good thing to do is to put it
in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts cold
water. This ensures that the colors won’t run. I have never
heard of this shrinking the fabric either, so don’t worry about
that, just make sure you always use cold water. It’s always a
good id (read full article) |
