New Friends

Each Monday, I discuss my Scrap Happy project based on Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun.

The last aspect of making time for friends is to make three new friends. I’m not sure I have really done this in real life, but I think I’m making some new friends online through blogging. In real life, I have made a lot of new friends over the last couple of years because we moved to a new place and started new jobs.

My struggle, however, has been meeting new scrappy friends. I was attending a monthly crop, but the host is no longer selling scrapbook supplies and has discontinued the crops. I decided to check out the schedule of classes at my local scrapbook store. Unfortunately, I can only attend classes on Saturdays unless I pay for a sitter. The other issue is the store is a good 30 minute drive from my house and I don’t really want to be driving home at midnight.

Any suggestions on meeting local scrappy friends? Oh, and meetup.com doesn’t really work because the nearest groups to me are a good 60 miles away from where I live. I don’t really have the space in my home to invite people to my place to scrapbook.

So how do you meet local scrappy friends? Comment below or join the conversation on facebook or twitter.
