Scrapbooking Buddies and Sticker Junkies...

It meant a lot to me that Darlene was able to go on this getaway with me. I’ve really missed her since she moved back to California in December 2009. During the four years that Darlene lived in Holland, we spent a lot of time scrapbooking together, so it was fitting that we were able to visit the Mrs. Grossman’s Sticker Factory together. There was a mix-up about our tour time and we ended up with a private tour. We weren’t allowed to take photos of the factory itself, but here you see us holding a roll of the first sticker that Mrs. Grossman designed in 1981. Sadly, I haven’t worked on any of my scrapbooks since Darlene moved, but still couldn’t resist buying some stickers. Afterwards, we wandered around Petaluma and had some lunch before heading back to my parents’.
