Wow, dald222! Did the surgery help? This was related to your chronic condition? And you spent Christmas in the hospital? Hoping you are feeling much better. (((((Hugs))))) My camera arrived at my niece’s office today! She took it home with her. I hope to get it from her tomorrow.

Just got back from my third trip to Walmart to print photos. I think I have them all. Needed about 180 photos in 4 different sizes and I kept messing up my wallets. The frame of the picture changed for some reason and I had heads or hands cut off. Drives me crazy that they want you to pay 58 cents for a wallet (2) which actually uses less ink and paper than a regular 4 x 6 photo that is 19 cents. I got my act together and started using the PL app and could put two 3 x 4 pictures on a 4 x 6 for the cheaper price.
I am starting a new album with 26 double layouts and hope to have it done by spring break. Must focus. By tomorrow afternoon, I'll have all of the pages fully planned with peer, pictures, layout and embellishments picked.

I ran into WM tonight and wandered down the craft aisle. I was pleasantly surprised to find several packs of Thickers and I picked up one pack of Letterman Thickers in black. I also found puffy heart and glitter heart stickers from EK Success and a boy sticker book, also from EK Success. The heart stickers were $.97 each and the sticker book (with 12 sheets) was under $2.50. The puffy hearts are super cute and $.97 for 113 puffy stickers is a great deal!
I’m happy to post a photo if you’d like to see what I found! I love finding good deals on crafty products.

1Canoe2 posted today that their new collection isn’t paper! Does that mean they are no longer designing for American Crafts? Maybe they are going the way of Basic Grey with fabric?

I finished two 8.5x11" layouts (that I had made page kits for yesterday). Both school layouts.
I put all the holiday layouts in the album, and figure I'll add enamel dots when I get them (if I remember). They're still nice layouts.

I have the strawberry shortcake out now Glad to see you scrapping again! I had a chance to use my M's gc's on the weekend, and picked up three Foil Quill hand held pens and some foils. But I realized that their cords are too short to hook up to my computer at the same time I am using the pens, so I will have to wait until I get a charger that I can set up somewhere by my scrap counter. So no foiling for awhile... No room to play with them right now, anyway with everything exploded all over the place. I think critical mass has been reached, so it's time to stop scrapping and start stowing. I am like the girl on the Big Comfy Couch: WHO MADE THIS MESS??? But I am afraid this calls for much more than a "ten second tidy"! I put my Christmas LO's into an album today and started sorting through all the old and new Christmas supplies I have scattered all over a couple of rooms. Hoping to continue that task tomorrow. How is everyone doing half way through the month?

I'm feeling very disorganized, now that I'm starting to look through my photos from 2019. And I'm still waiting on more from DH and the DDs. I think I'm going to approach it by just starting with the 2 page spreads that I have all the photos for, and then I can fill in around them with the one-pagers as I get to them.
I'm feeling good about my 2018 album though. I just finished editing the stragglers and sent in my print order. Yay!!! It'll be nice to call it finished.

I am ridiculously excited about something relatively small. I just got my scrapbook.com order of Altnew & Hero Arts enamel dots. Can I just say how happy I am with them?!
Nice & low profile.
I hadn't realized how small the smallest Hero Arts dots would be, and I love it!
The Altnew dots are gorgeous! Love that they include stars & hearts on the sheet too!
I need to go back to my holiday pages to add dots to them.
I'm very much in the mood to scrap, so of course I've been swamped with work & life & haven't been able to scrap all week. 😁
Maybe this weekend? 😀

I still have my Christmas tree up because I got side tracked on working on my gluebook collages and fussy cutting. DH is messing around with the computers so no printing photos or working with my Cameo.

I finished two more cards so I’m up to 33 so far this month I’m going to a crop tomorrow, after we run dogs in the morning. I’m trying to pack, lightly, during my breaks today. I’m taking a few 6x6 paper pads, matching cardstock, sketches and stamps.

I decided today that I am not using enough of my 400 pages of pre-made layouts. Most are completely finished with mats and titles but could use a sparkly or two. So now I am trying to figure out how to reorganize my 2 x 4 Kallax in that room to open 2-3 shelves that can house those layouts. I am guessing it will take the rest of the weekend to get this accomplished. I am also ready to start scrapping my cruise vacation and this is how I roll. I have something new to get done so I do everything else but scrap. I also reorganized my giant linen closet today instead of scrap.

This week I finished 16 pages. Feeling accomplished. I finished Christmas, a zoo page, and a vacation layout. I also organized and cleaned out a section of my scrap room. I have so many completed layouts that don't have pages yet and have kept them in my scrap closet. I pulled them out and put about half of them in two cloth bins that fit on the bottom shelves of my Kallax. Now I can get to the easier and will use them more often.

Sixteen layouts is a lot in a week! I bet you reach for them so much more often now that they're more accessible. 😁

Today I stole a few minutes to add enamel dots to my December layouts.
Then I tried to work on a couple school album 12x12 layouts, but my 12x12 paper stash is picked through & it's mostly pink tones left, and nothing was working! Hmmph!

I played around with some acrylic paint and stencils this morning to change a plain sheet of 12x12. It felt good just to dabble.
I also pushed myself to use a circle die & some alpha stamps that I haven't used in awhile. I always like how it looks, but sometimes i don't use them because it feels.lime it's too much work. Silly, really.
