I've been scrapping lately after a long slump, and I couldn't be happier. Anyone else scrapping this weekend?

I want to fit some in. I'm only off work on Sunday, but there are kids' school projects to be worked on. That zaps both my creative energy, and my supplies.

I want to. I even turned all the lights on around the desk yesterday. Did I do anything. Nope. DS needed me for school, then dd needed me, then everyone complained they were hungry and wanted dinner. After dinner cleanup I thought I’d try again and dd needed me to sit beside her. I pulled out the packet (kit and photos) I want to start with though.

I'm helping my DD out by cutting some things for her job out on the Cameo, and I've been trying to finish up some organizing I started. It's suppose to be cold this weekend which means DH will want to work on the computers. Unfortunately we are squished into the same space and I can't scrap with him there. Guess I will take my Christmas tree down instead.

Very snowy here. As soon as the dogs are settled, I'm headed up to my craft room to make cards. There's a set of 6 Valentine cards sitting on my desk that can be finished within an hour and I've got the next design and colors picked out. Hope to get a lot accomplished today and tomorrow.

Yes! I have some cleaning to do and a mountain of laundry. I'm going to hit it hard this morning, so I am free all afternoon.

Isn't it fun when you get on a roll? Hoping to play tomorrow. Today dh and I are planning to attend our niece's dance performance. Will be printing some pics while in town--and taking some at the performance. Have title figured out for a set of photos. Hoping to cut it on my new Cameo, but still figuring that out. BTW dasmith2, thanks for posting your pages in the Gallery. I find it really inspiring to see other people's creations.

Yes...I have fun, girly layout I’m doing of my neice. It usually takes me about a week to finish a page because I just work on it when I can. I also have some costuming to work on. Planning on having a crafty weekend!

Finally, yes! It's a quiet morning here, so I'm getting scrappy before I've even showered. Working on last summer's vacation pages, and dug up some old pieces of Graphic45 By the Sea. It's fun to be back at it!

Yes, I'll work on my December album, my OLW album, and make a Happy New Grandbaby card for my brother. I try to do something creative every weekend, which is why my house is unorganized, lol.

I've been in a slump lately too and have been looking at my desk wondering if it's worth it anymore. I even thought about packing it all away for a while. Then I got some pictures in the mail yesterday and those happy memories made me feel recharged. I'm going to start scrapping after brunch.

Oh how I wish I was. One of my favorite crops is happening right now and up until 5 minutes ago I had totally planned to be there. As I have posted, I had an emergency surgery on Monday afternoon and I tell you it has taken the wind out of my sails. I haven't even gotten dressed half the time since then.
I do have my bag packed with all my current pics, minus cardstock. I streamlined it so I wouldn't have any heavy lifting.
There may be another crop next weekend if they continue in the new year, and so perhaps I can look forward to feeling well enough for that.
I hope others will share some of what you're working on so I can enjoy.

Please take it easy on yourself.

I scrapped a double page last night and I am so happy with it! Hope to do some more this afternoon.

Does organizing count?? After I get settled into my new scrapbook room I realized my organization was not working well. So I bought some new pieces to organize my paper, mainly scraps. But I did finish 3 pages last night in my DD. Hope to continue with that when I'm done reorganizing.

Yes! It bucketed down yesterday and is forecast to be cold and morning showers today. I've already completed four pages this weekend and hoping to work on some more today.

I did it! I completed a page for the scraplift challenge. I uploaded that and my layout I did during the week for the stash challenge. myboysnme What a bummer to miss your crop! I hope you are feeling better soon. I was all packed for a weekend crop once and DH ended up in the hospital. It was really disappointing.

myboysnme - prayers for your recovery hoping to get some scrappy time in - spent the morning/early afternoon at a state park for a GS program with DD11 and am catching up on desk stuff now. Scrapbook time is, I hope, next

I’m working on my second layout so far today. I finally used some Freckled Fawn blooper bundle stuff that I never thought I’d use. Some stars that I thought were cheesy worked on a Star Wars layout and some floral tissue paper and stickers I didn’t really love are working on the second layout.

I am on Monday. Sat and Sun I am spending doing errands and things around the house (which I should be doing right now). I'm off of Monday. Yay!

I am! I'm at a 5 day crop...two more days (Sunday and Monday). It's funny how when we arrived on Thursday it seemed like I would have SOOOO much time. Now, as the days are ticking down, it seems like I hardly have any time left!

I completed my Happy New Year 2018 page today. I am also working on weeding through my abundant supplies. Just handling all the pretty things makes me feel creative.

Got a few more pages done, have about 4 page kits left to do then I will regroup and reorganize. I have done around 11 pages these last 2 weeks and I'm so grateful to crystalb for giving me the motivation and support to scrap again, I couldn't have done it without her. I have a lot of mental health issues and her support is getting me through. Scrapping is such good therapy for me, it is something I truly love to do. Also, thank you ladies for the love in the gallery and thank you all for commenting on this thread. It makes me feel like I'm not all alone. Love to all and happy scrapping everyone!

I completed seven pages and a card yesterday. I hope to get even more done today. My daughter is sick with the flu so that’s making it a little harder. I’m hoping today is better for her. As soon as I feed the puppy, I’m getting back to scrapping!

I woke up I’m the middle of the night and decided to finally finish DHs Christmas gift. I finished 8 pages (they’re small and I’m keeping it simple) and have just one left. The one page I can’t get right and is starting to look and feel tortured. I’m hoping that once I finish this album, my scrappy mojo will come back. It’s been gone since October and I miss it.

I had a great time at a crop yesterday, with TWO other RefuPeas might I add! I made a good start on an album, and I'm going to keep at it today as opportunities allow. Feel better soon, myboysnme.

Just finished a super simple layout.
It was a school photo that the photographer didn't do a good job on. Somehow managed to get both glare on my son's glasses, and shadow on his face.
Won't it be neat when they invent cameras that show you the photo when you take it?!?! 😈

Went through all my 6x6 pads and took out the papers I don't like. Bundled them up for donation.
I made two Vday cards.
Hope to make 2-3 more today or tomorrow.

Hope you regain your energy soon myboysnme! What makes this crop your favorite? If it's the people, maybe you can call one of their cellphones, maybe set up a FaceTime or Skype sometime during the day?
