Scrapbooking - Kinky Boots

This week I started working on some scrapbook pages for the Live Theatre Dave & I have seen.  I just finished my 1st Theatre book which has plays from 1995 - 2016.  We started out going to plays for kids when our sons were 1 & 3 years old.  Eventually they didn’t want to go with us, so we now go by ourselves.  Occasionally, we take my mother-in-law with us when she visits from New Brunswick. The last few years we buy 7-9 plays through Drayton Entertainment, and the occasional one from Stratford Festival.

Yesterday, I added a double page spread for Kinky Boots which we saw in Toronto back in 2015.  

Today, I worked on 5 different plays from 2017.  I stuck the programs, tickets and any photos of the play onto coloured paper.   This part is time consuming because I use my quilting ruler to measure a 1/4’ around each item.  This will make it go faster when I start adding each play to my 2nd book. 



Next month, we will start going to live theatre again.  We have bought 9 plays already and plan to see 2 others this year.   
I have 33 more plays to go before I will be caught up.
2017 we saw 13 plays, 2018 we saw 11 and 2019 we saw 9 (33 plays in total).  
Last year, I added all the plays from 2013 - 2016 (which was 23 plays).

  1. Great job! Scrapbooking is a brilliant way of keeping all the little mementos and memories together. I used to love scrapbooking and do miss it, although not enough to want to reduce my stitching hours! I'll enjoy watching yours come together instead. :)

    1. I feel the same way about it cutting into my stitching time, but if I don’t put them in a scrapbook I never get to enjoy seeing them. It also reminds Dave & I of each play we have seen.

  2. How fun. I love plays but never attend any. Wish I had someone to attend them with.

    1. I’m sorry to hear you don’t get to attend any plays. I’m so happy my husband loves going as much as I do. It makes for a great date night.
