It's been a busy whirlwind of a month and today has been the first day I've had a chance to scrap since February. Hoping to get April 2012 finished up today so I can scan this binder (March/April 2012) and get it off my desk.
Finished up Easter this morning by scrapping the egg colouring pictures. Two-page layout with six photos, cutesy Easter paper. lilac cardstock, Pebbles title sticker, Doodlebug sticker, and MAMBI sticker.
Next up are some cat photos...now that I've hung another load of laundry on the line (not sure how well it'll dry - it's cool and damp out there) and washed the dishes.

DH is on a business trip today and tomorrow, so its just me and the oldest home. He is currently at his college classes while I am currently 'sitting on hold' online trying to buy DS parking permit for next year. So while I have parking services in one browser, I am editing photos to scrap in March.
We can't close the browser on the parking site or we lose our place in line, so it looks like I am going to be doing online stuff til we can get his permit bought.

That is really industrious! The only SBR thing I am doing is I gathered some supplies, some for photos I don't even have! My son told me last night he is taking over the technology class at school for the rest of the year so I just happened to have a Scrappin Sports school sticker right on top of a pile that says, "Computer Science." Then I pulled some computer themed paper from my Photo Play school papers. I asked my son to make sure to take some photos soon for me!
I also ordered a few photos. He and my younger son got together and played video games all day this past weekend and he grabbed a photo for me, so I pulled a few video game papers and stickers I have for that photo. That will be a quick layout. I'll do two since they are both in the photo.

myboysnme - sounds like great future layouts! 950nancy - yeah, I should shower too...DH forget to reset the alarm so I didn't get up early enough to make it in the shower before him and the girls and by the time they were done, I was already dressed because I had the bus stop run (and no one needs to see me in my pyjamas at the bus stop). one more layout complete - two page with 5 cat photos on grey gingham background paper, matted in black and white, with a variety of word/phrase stickers and a tag sticker...can't remember who made them but they're yellow/red/black

Wow! You gals are industrious!
I won't be scrapping this week. Reached my goal yesterday of 90 pages so far this year, and while I would love to ride the mojo train, there are a lot of things around here that need to be done. Guess I need to "adult" today.

grammadee - you've done a ton so far this year! I'm playing catch-up right now as I'm well behind my year-to-date goal. I need to adult also so I'm alternating between scrapping and house-stuff in hopes I can stay motivated on both. stinkerbelle- hopefully you can find some scrappy time tonight I've gotten one more layout done - single page with 3 photos - blue cardstock background, red and beige cardstock matting and torn border, "Cute and Crafty' cut-apart card. Straightened out my closet and found some stuff to donate. Moved clothes to the dryer as the clothesline is full with the first two loads and put another load in the washer. Next up - the last April 2012 layout and tidying/hoovering the family room

Finished the last April Layout - one page - 2 photos on a colourblocked vellum background, matted in white, with a KI Memories quote sticker and QK die cuts mini hearts. That binder is now on my scanner waiting to be scanned instead of on my scrapbook desk waiting to be scrapped - progress!
housework-wise- re-booted the dryer, tidied the family room, went through a stack of my late-MILs mail and sorted into trash and shred, shredded that and my to-shred pile (one kitchen trash bag of shredding), hoovered the family room.
Next project - sorting the photos in the mailing envelope I received a while back by layout into page protectors in the right binder/album. And then I think I might start the 2018 album. Housework-wise - the living room is next - it needs tidying and hoovering. And I need to check the line and see if anything has dried. I have an hour before the bus stop so hopefully I can get all that done.

I finally got some pocket page layouts (5!) done this weekend with my Cocoa Daisy kits. Made 20 cards last week from a Carta Bella Spring 6x6 pad. All of this means the house is very neglected.
I want to work on a layout tonight when I get home from work, but I’m not letting myself do it until I finish dinner and an evening clean routine. 15 minutes each of kitchen, sweep, closet, surface declutter. At that rate my spring cleaning might be done by Christmas, but hey, a little progress helps.

I'm going to do something crafty today if it kills me, too! lol...
the dining room table is a shambles because I was playing with my Big Shot, cutting teeny tiny die-cut flowers for Easter cards. I made 4 Easter cards (I could make 1 more with the flowers) and need to clean up the mess. I cleared off my craft table, and consolidated quite a few layouts that are partly or mostly done- some just need the date, some need journaling (date + place, ranging to writing everything out, etc.) and some layouts are just base papers + photos and need the embellishing / finishing touches.
I'm eating leftovers for dinner, and since I don't need to cook, I'm going to finish up at least 2 of those partly finished layouts!! That is my (tiny-but-hopefully-do-able) goal for tonight.
(they might be the layouts that only need the date added, but hey- that still means they're finished!)

I'm off work today. I had a celebration of life service this morning, then got groceries. I've got laundry going.
I'm going to play with my Cricut Explore Air 2 a bit this afternoon.

Due to a shoulder injury, I am probably going to be home from work all week. Normally, I'd be thrilled with extra scrapbook time but unfortunately my shoulder pain only lets me scrapbook for short amounts of time. Today, I am getting a lot done though by organizing old photos that are in boxes and putting them in regular albums.

Well, I have gotten some things done today.
__I pre-cut the month titles for my PL through December. yay!
__I completely finished PL for Jan and Feb. I had a bunch of inserts I had not gotten put in so that got done and all the journaling. Double yay!
__Started editing photos for March. Triple yay!
__Sorted my WITL and got it organized, cause why not. Quad yay!
I am planning to hopefully find some inspiration on Pinterest and make a page tonight.

Sounds very do-able. You CAN do it! I'm going to play with my Cricut Explore Air 2 a bit this afternoon. Sounds like a great plan! Today, I am getting a lot done though by organizing old photos that are in boxes and putting them in regular albums. I'm so sorry about the shoulder injury and pain. Sounds like you're using your time off wisely with the photo organising project. Hope you heal quickly. |

mom - wow - you got a ton done! Well done. I tidied and hoovered the living room AND our bedroom, brought some of the clothes in off the line (this hasn't been a good drying day - half aren't dry yet), and now I'm going to do a title page for 2018

mom , sounds like you got a lot done as well. I'm taking it the parking pass is all sorted out I did absolutely nothing crafty. I've been adulting today too. bleh oh yeah, we got it taken care of. I was still in the queue when he got back from his English class.  But we did get it taken care by lunch time. I am just glad it required someone to be online for those 3 hours vs. standing in line at some random office. Atleast I could do other work while waiting! Sorry you didn't get to play today. I should have been adulting but really did not want to. Gonna need to adult tomorrow though.  |

Thanks LisaDV - thanks - I haven't scrapped since February - and I've barely been home to clean the house either - so taking this week to try and play catchup on both. I got the 2018 title page done and 2 more layouts to start 2018 - both single page layouts - one with game night PP and cutaparts with photos of my girls playing Life and one of a frozen ice puddle on snowflake paper using the grey Thickers I bought this weekend at TM. Working on a 2-page one now about the ice storm in early January - it's fun for this Florida gal to play with snowflake paper  |

I think you're good. final total for Monday - 9 layouts! woohoo! and lots of housework! WOW! If I did 9 layouts, the kids wouldn't even haven't gotten fed, well, at least not by me. Great job. |

I ended up doing the tiniest amount of scrapping possible. I had finished a layout of my son's paint covered hands from his job as an art teacher. I found a very old piece of paper with handprints all over it, so I tore the corner off and then slipped it into the corner of the layout so it just peeks out from under. I decided there would not be a more perfect use of that paper!

I actually got crafty last night! not what I originally planned on doing, but oh well- I re-did a card I found somewhere so I could send it to my sister... my idea involved lots of Stickles, so I ended up with glitter all over my fingers, of course. And I added the embellishments to a 2-page layout that's been partly done or at least a year or more. Now all I need to add is the letter stickers for the title, the date, and the journaling! (hopefully it won't be another year for the rest of it, lol!)  |

I have a non-crafty thing to finish, and I don't want to forget it!! Over the last couple weeks, I made rather intricate Easter cards using my Big Shot, and I NEED TO ADDRESS AND MAIL THEM!! (I don't want all that hard work to go to waste, lol!)
