I hope to get in a few hours before bringing the kids to our local St. Patty's day parade (we'll be marching with our local Indivisible group!!) at 2 pm. Anyone want to join me? I'd love to see what you create!

Would love to see what you create, too. I am hoping to do a couple of pages for Calvinball in the morning. carolynhasacat says she is going to create a page worth 120+ points. I might have to give that a try, too. (We get points for adding specific items or colours or shapes or numbers of photos to a project, and right now there are 127 different ways to get those points) Here are five of them if you need a challenge: stars, arrows, the colour green, a diecut shape, some twine. |

I'm in the middle of a long weekend and in between doing the things that need to be done (like mowing lawns and cleaning the house - all the not very fun things) I've been scrapping up a storm. I've finished four pages so far this weekend and still have an entire day ahead of me.

I'm carving out some time today to scrap. My last LO took a little longer for me to do, so I'm hoping to bust out a few today  Happy Scrapping ladies |

I somehow managed to be running a fever yet again this weekend. My scrappy plans yesterday fell through because I just slept. I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself today and hope to get at least a page done. I want to use my March Build Your Own Kit!

I managed three layout yesterday after a week of feeling under the weather and a long day of cookie booths (we finally sold out) and grocery shopping plus my silly indoor escape artist of a cat escaped and had his arse handed to him by the neighbourhood bully and dripped blood through the house when he came back in (he'll be okay but his ear is torn  ) Today I've already got laundry going and I've filled out passport applications for three of us (need to wait for DH to wake up so I can do his - need to verify a couple of things). Planning to catch up on housework and scrapbook in between doing that. |

This morning for a bit I will be back to kitting for my retreat in a week! So far I have 50 page kits ala nicolejones911. Trying to make it to a hundred, but doesn't look like thats gonna happen cause life is so darn busy!
We go over to my in-laws house every Sunday to watch the walking dead with my SIL's and their families, and mother and father in law, and it's our turn to make food. So I will only have a little while this morning to get some kits done!
But I did place a huge 500+ photo order last night so I'm excited to plan some pages for those pics!

@dasmith - thanks - I'm glad he'll be okay too - he's been looking pathetic all day (he's a bit of drama queen) one layout done today I'm all caught up on 2017 through last weekend - need to place a photo order today as well. Going to keep plugging away on the 2016 album - I'm in October now. |

The kids took over my craft table, so I'm going to sit on the carpet and plan out some pages. And later in the afternoon, I might join them (they have paints out) and prep some cardstock for backgrounds. I have plain cardstock scraps too, so I might give those some fresh colors and patterns while I'm at it. Have a great time at the parade! |

Sounds like you are more than well on your way to getting ready for that retreat. With 500 pix and 50+ page kits, you shouldn't run out of things to do. justjac and I have a crop booked for near the end of April. I keep saying I will pack lighter. Maybe this will be the year. When I am cleaning up my scraproom after Calvinball, I may just pack up some kits--photos and all--to take to the crop. April will be a busy month for me, so I will be depending on myself to do most of that month's crafting (my goal will be 30 pages for April) in that one weekend, so I will need to be really well prepared. PS. I love to hear about family traditions like yours. This is the fabric of life. |

I went into Grab Glue & Go mode and got a couple of pages put together with some of the photos I had tossed onto my counter earlier in the week. Will photograph and link in a bit. Didn't even look at my list above before making them, so the only things I used were the colour green and a couple of arrows. But hey, those arrows are some of my shaped wire paper clips I had hoped to use this week.! Ended up doing 4 pages. Here are my favorite 2:  home from school1 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Home from school by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

linda, I have laundry today, too. And the people and animals who live with me want food again today (   ) so I have a corned beef going in the crock pot. In between, I'm working on my Calvinball layouts, and thinking about my March Build Your Own Kit, which I haven't had a chance to put together yet. @lilacgirl, I'm glad you're feeling better. grammadee - love the Grab, Glue & Go mode! I did a LO with that method yesterday. Always feels so good when it comes together so easily!

I am working on putting together a couple of kits for a few challenges here and for Calvinball (my first time playing  I have notes for at least 10 layouts but since I am happy if I get one 2 page one done a month lately we will see what happens. I am planning to try and do a few one page ones for a change. |

I am supposed to be sewing but I'm having trouble even getting my laundry in. I did put my layouts away from yesterday, added some Paper House stickers to some layouts I did yesterday and of course looked as some completed albums. That is the most I'm going to do today scrap related.

The photos I ordered I know I just picked up last week but can't find where I put them. I could have had them scrapped yesterday. So just reorder. |

Tomorrow (Monday) I'm stalking my mail man for three packages! I'm excited! I love happy mail! What are you expecting to get? I got 2 new pads of paper from scrapbook.com and a cocoa daisy box of sale items! I was hoping for my citrus twist kit but it's lost in the mail. It was at the local post office yesterday (in Indiana) and left last night for Illinois!!! I think it's my fault for giving Trina the abbreviated version of my address because this is the 2nd month it's had a hard time finding me. My address sucks so bad--it's a country address. My husbands aunt and uncle owned it before us and had a land line phone. I call the SAME phone company to transfer our phone number over and they tell me the address does not exist. Ugh. So no home phone for us! |

So no home phone for us! We live in a rural area, too, and our mailing address is a PO box #. Makes it difficult to order stuff on line, b/c the shipper wants a "physical address". Well, our physical address is a land location, or at best a house number on a rural road, and couriers do not come out here. Luckily our PO is in a very small town, and if we give the shipper the physical address of the post office itself, with our box number as an apartment number, the lovely ladies who work there will accept the package and then pop a card into our box. But it's annoying. |

I couldn't get to 120, but I did create a 100 point LO! I posted it in the Calvinball gallery here: Pirate HotelI find the challenges really fun. It really pushed me to go through more older product, dig out some scraps, think about using things in a new way, etc. |
