Hello! It has been a hellacious week here! Two sick kids, not at the same time of course. As soon as I got one better and the house disinfected/put back together the other one got something different! If I drank, I would be drinking tonight for sure! But I scrap, so who is with me tonight? Anyone? I sure hope y'alls weeks went better than mine!

I won't EXACTLY be scrapping, but I will be preparing for CalvinBall which starts March 1, so I will be selecting photos, paper, embellies etc so that when I start scrapping on the 1st the process will be quicker.
Enjoy!

I hope to do Calvinball too! I have lots of kits already ready for that but I need some creative therapy, some tearing, distressing, messy stuff (not like my normal stuff) lol

Not tonight.....(I'm knitting instead), but I have a card that needs to be finished this weekend. At least I started earlier today, and I have a plan.

I've done two layouts today and hope to get a few more done in between all the other stuff I need to do this weekend (Thinking Day, grocery shopping, picking up a JCP order, cookie booth, making banners....)

Yes, I hope to join you! I have a bad neck right now...which limits time at the desk...but I'm so BORED that I'll probably go do some anyways.
Calvinball: the reason I've never participated is because I'm competitive. I'd want to be "on the leaderboard". But I don't scrap that way. I'm not fast, nor do I like to prep kits ahead of time, and I always see people "prepping for Calvinball". So I just can't bring myself to sign up because I know I'd "lose"!

I thought about Calvin ball, but counting points for everything is too complicated for me. I'm happy to stick with the challenges at 2peas

I'm prepping for Calvinball too, but I don't give a rat's ass about points. I just like the idea of getting a lot of pages done, and I like having lots of folks scrapping "with" me. This weekend I'm going to work on getting some titles and embellishments ready to go.

I have to sew all day tomorrow and maybe attempt the taxes on Sunday. But because I'm always thinking about scrapping I'll do something scrap related, even if it is just shuffle paper into piles!

I like the idea of Calvinball but I don't share my layouts online so there goes that.
I am going to have to force myself to do some journaling today. I am going to do journaling today. I am going to do journaling today.
I know that once I complete that pile of layouts and get them into albums I'll feel all endorphiny and then I'll feel motivated to scrap some more. So, yes, I'll be scrapping this afternoon.

I thought about Calvin ball, but counting points for everything is too complicated for me. I'm happy to stick with the challenges at 2peas You don't have to count points. I know one of the originators of the event just counted each page as one point last year and didn't worry about any other points. The goal is really just to create as many pages as you can in a month. Elsabelle, you don't have to share your layouts. It's nice if you do, but I don't think it's a requirement.

crystalb, I meant to say the other day that I really like your new avatar. Sorry your kids were sick but glad they are feeling better. We must be coming down with it. DH woke with a cough and within a couple of hours had a really high fever. So I made stock and chicken and dumplings for him. DS is also complaining. If he gets a cold the drainage goes to his stomach and he throws up all night long. I gave him a dayquil to hopefully help with that. In my spare time, I've been cleaning and organizing the scrap area. I may have to create a layout tomorrow. I'm already itching to do so.

I might not be sharing my layouts either, or if I do I'm going to blur the faces. My family let me know they don't want to be plastered all over the internet, and I can't fault them for that. I'm still going to play though!

Awww thank you! I am making a conscious effort to put more of me in the albums, and making an all about me album so I am practicing taking selfies (this one was done I think by DS4 though) lol Save

DD was sick Sunday-Wednesday wiht DS just a little out of it, then Thursday we were all good until thursday night then BAM DS goes down hard with the stomach virus UGH! Only good thing is I got lots of extra snuggles and cuddles from him! Sorry y'all have it, no one here where we are has been well. We need a good freeze to kill some of these things off! Save

I didn't even think about sharing layouts online. I do share some of mine but not all mine. There is no way I will be able to make 30 pages AND upload/share them so I am going to concentrate on making the 30 pages (points if I remember). I have never done Calvinball but I am going to treat it more like LOAD (layout a day) personally and enjoy the plethora of creativity/scrappy buddies doing it too. Does that make sense?
I just put the kiddos down, got my chocolate and soda stream drink. Time to find a good sketch and pictures! Let's do this! Tomorrow they are calling for 100% chance rain so I will get time to do more then too!

I'll join you tomorrow and Sunday. I have 48 kids' birthday cards to make (4 designs, 12 each). And I'd really like to work on the memory keeping part of my TN. I have the pictures printed and some of the journaling done for about 5 more pages and I'm sure I could get them done pretty quickly if I would just sit down and do it!

then BAM DS goes down hard with the stomach virus UGH! Only good thing is I got lots of extra snuggles and cuddles from him! DS14 is the same when he doesn't feel well with the snuggles. Hate when he's sick, but love the extra love. Both my boys are feeling a bit better now. Fingers crossed. personally and enjoy the plethora of creativity/scrappy buddies doing it too. I agree. I do like to calculate my points, but I guess I'm not competitive enough. It's actually a joke at my house. In those team games, if I know and you're struggling, I'm going to give you a clue. My teammates get really mad. I never care if I win a game, just that we have fun. Except for.....Sorry. The game. I'm vicious. And it's really just a game of chance. lol. Enjoy your scrap time. I hope to get a layout done tomorrow.

Once the boy goes to bed, I need to organize some paper thanks to myboysnme ! One paper is perfect for a Halloween page and I can see a use for all the other papers. ETA: I'm going to buy something too because my husband and older kids went to a concert, so I get something too.

My earlier post helped me get myself in gear and get some journaling done. I typed it all and printed it and I will adhere all of it tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a scrap day and I'm hoping to get a few layouts done.

I am too tired tonight to scrap, but I hope to get something done tomorrow. I have some ideas for what to do with some photos I took this morning, with the little guys in the hotel pool, but I may not get to that tomorrow. At the very least, I hope to create a birthday card while I have my bd container open.
