I am going to be scrapping today. I am going to work on pulling together the May build your own kit and bash it kit first. Then work on some mother's day cards. I may be able to scrap a little tomorrow morning before we guests for the afternoon evening. I need to build some kits too. It's funny, but crystalb's suggestions are perfect for me this weekend. I need masculine papers for a portrait of DH (it was for work, but he looks so handsome I made a copy for myself) and I need lots of colorful summer themed papers. I'm not sure what I'll do for embellishments for any of my pages, but I'll figure it out. I go light anyway.

Wouldn't you know that when I have uninterrupted time and opportunity to scrap, my back would start bugging me!
Still not too bad. I got a card and 5 pages done by noon. I had to stop for a 2 hour break at lunch time to take a Motrin and lie down for awhile. This afternoon I finished 3 more pages. I had hoped for ten pages for the day, and while that is still possible, I am not sure those last two will happen. Time for another break. Maybe I need to do what I do when at a crop: go out to my car, start it, and sit in the heated seat for 20 minutes...
I photographed and uploaded 5 of my pages. Will link them to the challenge thread later.
How are you other scrappers doing?

My 4th page of the day is taking a long time. I finally figured out a plan, but now I need to get out my paints.

How are you other scrappers doing? I finished 1 layout. Used the new Thickers I bought to make the title. Added journaling on tags and embellished with enamel dots and arrows. I started the second layout, but kind of got stuck after picking the background paper. I have the two pics, have a dino fossil embellie, have the museum bracelet band, don't know where to go from there. It's sitting on my desk, waiting on me.

I hope to have some time this afternoon and will also be crafting tomorrow. I need to finish my chores first. Just put some soup in the slow cooker and now need to get into the garden.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a bunch of "grab and go" food. My plan is not to cook after tonight through the weekend! Is it wrong that I'm super excited about that part? I get excited when I don't have to cook too!! I'm home from work due to Shingles, and want to get some scrapping in, but feel run over by a bus. Nerve pain really takes the fun out of things. I hope you feel better quickly! I'm glad you were able to finish a page today. Wouldn't you know that when I have uninterrupted time and opportunity to scrap, my back would start bugging me! OH, NO! That's not right!! I hope that your back is 100% by tomorrow so that you can enjoy yourself completely. I popped on to say hi and see who else has been scrapping. I saw and left love on grammadee's and DawnMcD's pages in the gallery whilst stirring the dinner pot earlier. I picked up a 2'x8' board for the top of my craft desk today and hope to get it put on in the next few days, probably Monday. If I get up early enough tomorrow, I'll pull out a page kit and start creating. If not, I live vicariously through your layouts.

All I need is a bit of time to myself. The more I say it, the more things require my attention at some point this weekend (our pool is turning green, so now we have to drain, rinse down the sides and refill it because the conditioner levels are too high). I'm livid with my children and when that happens, I am a terrible parent. I have told my husband about 100 times this week that I need a bit of time tomorrow and a bit of time Sunday to be in the house ON MY OWN without distraction in order to recharge. His response today? 'I don't know about that.' Sounds like husband is going to hear that as a retaliatory answer in the very near future for any and everything. I am DESPERATE for time away from my kids...I'm to the point that just the idea of being a semi-decent parent makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry...but the problem is finding ways to get THEM out of the house instead of me so I can do what I want to do here in the space that makes me the happiest. I am usually the one forced to leave the house...and while it helps, it doesn't afford me the same recharge that peaceful creativity does. I'm fairly close to making him take the kids to my friend's son's birthday party tomorrow and staying home...a friend of mine did that last year because she was like 3 days from having a baby and was too miserable to come, so it's not a completely bizarre thing to do, haha. Anyone want to take my husband and my kids for the weekend? They're super cute...the kids, I mean!! I'm hoping to be able to hole up and do some challenges with either ACOT or Gossamer Blue, maybe dabble in both places if I haven't lost my mind by then, that is.

Good to see people are crafting away. (((((Hugs))))), scrapaddict702. I hope you get some "me time" at some point this weekend. And I hope you are not in too much pain, LavenderLayoutLady. I started to put together the last two pages, but then decided to do some organizing in the kitchen instead. At least I have the photos chosen and on the counter, and a selection of papers ready to go in the morning. I want to be finished with the hockey and skating photos by noon tomorrow. Then I can move on to the next set of photos. But I also want to troll some of the other sites to see what is going on for iNSD. Will check out some challenges and maybe enter some draws.

I've been there and feel your frustration deeply. I recharge by alone time too, so being an at home, homeschooling mom has left me a bit frazzled on more than one occasion. It will get better, I promise. For now, explain how much you really need your time to your husband. Hugs. Hope you get some time for yourself.

I completely understand needing to be home alone, too. I hope your DH can give you the break you need tomorrow, scrapaddict702 . grammadee, hope your back is feeling better. And LavenderLayoutLady , I hope you get some relief and can have some fun tomorrow. Shingles is supposed to be horrible, so I sympathize. Sounds like a few of us are making progress already. I haven't actually gotten to my scraproom yet, but I'm all set for tomorrow. I had the busiest day today, to end a super busy week. I am ready for a break from chores. See you in the morning, ladies!

SO sorry scrapaddict, it's hard because our hobby is at home. I always get sucked into someone else needing me when I wish I could scrap

I did my first ever watercolor page last night. I couldn't sleep so I watched some old Victoria Marie and Wilna YouTube videos . I ordered the Hip Kit grab bag and a PL kit that was 70% off. Does anyone know of some other good sales?

I made my husband a shopping list...our bug man gets here in about an hour, but after that, I'm kicking them all out of the house to go shopping...my shopping list includes my lunch request (Chick-Fil-A) at the bottom.

I started a layout this morning (err...last night...clearly I'm not fully awake yet)...currently playing Bingo over at ACOT and then we'll see what happens. Our pool just can't wait another day, so today's the day, I suppose!!

I've made one page so far. It fit LOAD and a Scrap Gals Facebook challenge. I think I'm going to head out to the LSS next even though I don't think she's running any sales.

I got things ready to start a layout this morning, but I probably won't have time to actually make it until this evening.

Happy iNSD everyone! I plan of checking out some of the challenges and hope to start a page or so this weekend.
Thanks gals for this chat too. It reminds me of the fun chats we had with Two Peas! Boy, I miss those days but they did give us such great memories.
Have fun y'all!

I have 8 pages done today so far. Taking a break and the need to do a bit of reorganizing. I am done with the kits I prepared to take to the crop. Time to pull out some different photos and start looking for pp and extras to go with them. Need to read through the challenges here & elsewhere to guide me with that.
