Our Topic: Recently we got to talking about the books that we have loved (and not) over the years. The good news is that we have gotten to read: The Disappearing Spoon, Interview with a Vampire, Macbeth and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The bad news is we had to read: Head First: Algebra…

Studio 52: Week 11–Oh, the Places We’ll Go!
Our Topic: We got to thinking here at Finders Keepers (always a dangerous proposition) and realized that, although we generally consider ourselves homebodies (we like to be coooozy….), we also spend a good amount of time exploring new places with our children. (Aren’t children great for getting us outside of our comfort zones?) So we…
Best Day Ever
Hello, everyone! Sarah recently came across these pictures while cleaning and was instantly smitten. Here’s the backstory: The day after their family’s Halloween party a couple of years back, they found this stick-on mustache someone had left behind and proceeded to spend the day passing it back and forth and taking turns striking poses. We…
Studio 52: Week 10–The Best Medicine
Our Topic: Laugh with us for a minute: hahahahahahahahohohohohohoheeheeheeheehee whew! That felt great. This layout was really too much fun. We chose to focus on laughter, because it is, as they say, the best medicine and, frankly, we needed a good laugh. The best part was looking through all our pictures and finding those laughing…
Studio 52: Week 9 – Loving Rachel
My Topic: Today I am not writing to you as “us”—Finders Keepers. Today I am writing as Sarah, 1/2 of Finders Keepers, and I am going to write about Rachel, because it was her birthday this past Thursday. So I wanted to create a layout for her and all about her, which is harder than…
Studio 52: Week 8 – 99% Inspiration
Our Topic: This week we gave some thought to the things that inspire us. Like last week’s music post, the hardest part about this was narrowing it down. Our initial ideas centered on the people in our lives: family, friends and co-workers. But we know there will be tons of opportunities in our 52 weeks…
Studio 52: Week 6 – Then & Now
Our Topic: This week we had fun with a “then and now” spread, featuring Rachel. The hardest part of this kind of scrapbook page is that, back when we were young, in fact, until a relatively recent time, pictures weren’t stored digitally. So this involves digging around in some boxes to find the “then” pictures…
Studio 52 Week #5 – Faves: Color
Our Topic: We will be having several “faves” pages this year and this is the first one. It’s no surprise that we love color here at Finders Keepers—in one post long ago we boasted that, when you rearranged the letters of our names, it spelled “bring on the color” if you omitted some letters and…
