I have a scrappy vent and just needed to get it out.
Why do people pin their own scrapbook projects KNOWING that their pin is going to take people to their shutdown blog? Kelsey Especially is pinning a ton of her projects, and some are super inspiring - like her mini albums - but when you click the link to see the whole project the link goes to nowhere.
UGH.
Do you have any scrappy vents to share today?

That is annoying and a waste of time.
My vent is that my room is literally falling apart. I wanted to wait until next month to deal with it but the drawers of the dresser I use to store things have collapsed so I can't keep things in there any more. I don't even know how many more times I'll be able to open the drawers without having a full on catastrophe with things crashing down. As I take things out, I keep them out but now the room is over run and I just need to buckle down and decide what I want to do and then get to working on it.

When people post umpteen pictures of the same layout - sometimes I will look up something I bought at scrapbook.com to get ideas and it will say there are 6 projects using it, then I go look and it is 6 pictures of the same layout.

Yes!! I don't care if it's on their blog but it's not necessary in a facebook group.

My FJ kit was delivered today and I am not home to play with it! It's a perfect rainy day to scrapbook. This job is cutting into my life! LOL.

When I have time to scrap I have no mojo. When I have mojo I have no time. Today I have time and I just can't get it going.

I hate when people Pin stuff and it leads to nothing. Ugh.
Right now I'm losing my patience on a pre-order from June. I know stuff gets delayed, etc, but I just want the order so I can work with it now! /whine

When I have time to scrap I have no mojo. When I have mojo I have no time. Today I have time and I just can't get it going. This happens to me, too. A lot. As for pinning the pictures that go nowhere, they could just say "broken link" in the description. I can usually see the photo well enough that it is helpful, even without the blog post. Pinterest preserves the image, which can be helpful, even if it is annoying that the link won't work.

My Scrappy vent is that I have the want to scrapbook. Problem is I don't have the supplies. I've placed a few orders and they can't get here fast enough. Here's hoping they make it by the weekend.

I have the same problem except more for DIY projects in general, not just scrappy ones. Like being able to see dimensions of something built for scrappy storage that is particularly innovative and then not being able to access any of the dimensions used in making it.

My 90 minute layout has taken over three hours. The pictures take up a full 50% of the paper. It is a double pager (x2).

When I have time to scrap I have no mojo. When I have mojo I have no time. Today I have time and I just can't get it going. This is so me right now. I posted about it elsewhere over the weekend after I had sat in front of my PL album for about 45 minutes just unable to make anything happen. I feel like it's something that I need to be doing on a pretty regular basis for the creative mojo juices to keep flowing. But unfortunately with a part-time job, full-time study load, toddler and fiance to take care of and another baby on the way that's just not possible!

When you can't decide if you want to buy a certain product so you wait a couple of days and it is sold out.

I get really frustrated when I find a collection I like but have to go to two different sites to get all the items I want.

I just don't have time to craft at the moment - work is so busy and stressful. I seriously need to retire!

That there are no more local scrapbook stores. I hate ordering online! I miss having a place to escape to and craft!

I find her exhausting, but i can't help hate reading her new "comeback."

I suspect she is gunning for a 'reboot' and will be back in the scrap DT scene soon. I saw her post at SC at not long.

My vent is I had emergency gallbladder surgery last friday and foolishly thought all this time off could be spent scrapbooking while I recupperate, but that has not happened due to all the pain from the surgery!! I was quite clueless about the recovery, and several complications haven't helped! I just wanna feel good enough to sit and scrap!! ðŸ˜

I haven't consistently journalled since I started scrapping in 2012, so I have to catch up on 5 years of writing the stories down! I want to go back in time and slap myself for not writing the stories down as I scrapped, or even just after the event so I don't lose the little details! I'm working on it now though, 1 page at a time... there are just a lot of freaking pages! Most of the photos I'm scrapping are on an old, bloated computer so if I want dates for events, I have to wait 15 mins for it to load up to access my photos. This is all self-inflicted, but it still drives me crazy to think about playing catch up!
