I have stuff to tell but no time to do so now. But hopefully you all have randomness to share.  |

Thanks for the thread.
I'm seriously lacking in the mojo department. I have photos. Adhesives. Paper.
Mojo?
Nope. Never heard of her.
A couple days ago I went through all my scraps. Tossed anything tiny. Anything I didn't love. Made dozens of journaling spots by stamping on the lighter colored papers.I
I really thinned out the scraps.
With it being December, I'd like to scrap last Christmas so that I can have a free mind for this Christmas. I have a 6x6 paper pad and several Christmas stamps to work with.
I still need to order November's photos.

I need to clean my scraproom tomorrow. It is a disaster--even more than usual. It has scraps and tools, dies and stamps, inks and mixed media and... all over after my frantically creating pages for three seasons and cards for Christmas and birthdays over the past three weeks. I am hoping to get back into scrapping next week, but there is literally no room to work, and I have been spending more and more time just LOOKING for stuff that was "just here".

I had to abandon my Christmas card design and start over. I'll be spending this weekend coming up with a new design and making about 20 cards.
This year I also want to make my own tags for the presents, and I'm going to make pom poms for decorations on them. I better get going!

Ok. I got all my cards out. Had so much fun making them.
Today I ordered a ton of lawn Fawn stuff.
This weekend I so need to start cleaning my room. Stuff every where.
My friend and I have booked a crafty day over Christmas holidays. Think we are going to try Jennifer McGuire's monoprint technique.

My office is filled with Christmas gifts in various states of undress. The floor and furniture are filled with stuff. My scrap room is also having its own issues right now. Because of this, I am ignoring both rooms.

I have a list of to-dos for my scrappy self. Got the week between Christmas and New Year off as office is closed so I plan to hopefully finish organizing and get some projects going. At the most recent crop I went to I created the bones of a scrapbook to honor one of my bucket list items - to see all fifty states. I have a page for each state just need to track down the photos to put on those I've been to. scrappington Last year my craft room was my hiding place too |

This week was ridiculously busy. I didn't get any scrappy time.
I'm hoping for maybe tonight.

I ordered November's photos this morning.
I've been pinning layouts that I like certain elements of. Especially when it looks like they used a paper punch circle on scrap paper.
No actual scrapping so far.

Supplies ✔️ inspiration ✔️ Mojo✔️ I have so many things that I’ve had to get done/take care of, on top of lots of mental stress, I’m just wiped out and too tired to do anything for me... such is the life of mom and wife 🙄😂we can all relate!! I miss the creative time, playing with paper, enjoying the memories 💕. I need to distress, take a breather and give myself a little time for me...,now if I could just get the others to cooperate 🙄
I recently placed a small order from scrapbook.com, since they had free stuff ( no min order) and got an issue of Scrapbook and Cards today, I’m super excited about that. I believe they have it going again right now.
I have a page on my desk that’s been sitting on my desk since Nov., I haven’t been able to finish it, I’m looking forward to finishing it up.
I’ve been looking at my boards on Pinterest lately and browsing of course lol, so I’m love and inspired by lots of artwork and color combos.
I love colors that I detested years ago and can find inspiration in so many of them. The creative side of me is going to burst 😂 I think this weekend is a good time to get something for me done and let the others fend for themselves 🤣 even if it’s just for a little while lol

So I had the entire day today to work on my December Daily. The WHOLE day. And what did I get done? Nothing. I worked on cleaning up my scrapbook room (didn't finish, but its close). I watched 9-1-1 on Hulu. I addressed some cards. I looked for some digital files that i want to use.I organized some PL cards. Made a give away box.
But I didn't work on December Daily. So I am now 8 days behind.

I went back up there and started working on a travel mini album from this summer. I figure doing something (even if not DD) is better than nothing. |

I realized the other day that I sorted my photos through the date I worked on them on but haven't edited and ordered anything. Doh.
All I can think of doing right now is organizing my space. I got a wild hair the other night watching a room tour video (she was rearranging furniture and that's all it took) that I want to make a new desk set up. It has to work in a very specific way, so I'm probably not going to commit to it for a while. I'm thinking I might spend $10-$12 on a bunch of foam board and duct tape from Dollar Tree so I can make a mock up of what I'm aiming to accomplish. A couple inches too long in either direction of the L could result in a disaster.
I found a random listing in a scrapbook resale group for my local area from JUNE of someone selling SU thin DVD style cases for 50 cents each. You can't even get the knockoff brands for that cheap. 25 packs from the Checkout Store are $2+ each. You have to order 100 or more for them to end up close to $1 each. I bought 20 of them from her and am very tempted to buy the other 20 she said she still has. I don't need them right now, but I am really in an organizing head space at the moment. Organizing supplies excite me. Sometimes more than craft stuff. I think this is because organizational products solve problems whereas new product often creates problems (because I have too much crap and it is always outgrowing my allotted storage). I do buy older SU stamps and move them to cling foam on occasion and I also store flair in those cases (the magnetic vent covers that people like for dies are PERFECT in these cases...cut down into thirds they are a perfect fit), so I look at it as room to grow!

I'm hoping to work on my photobooks I make for my parents and MIL. I need to finish them and get them ordered.
DH was sick Friday and Saturday, so nothing got done around here. We spent 9 hours in the ER yesterday. He's ok and back home. I hate to complain, because the U of M is amazing, but they were slow in getting test results yesterday, so it was a long, long day.

I didn't do any scrapping today. I did pull tools out of random areas of my room that I stashed them.
Oh, and I found a bunch of 12x12 pocket page protectors that I didn't remember I had.
I thought about culling my stamps today, but I stepped away from them because I am in a "toss everything" mood, and I think I'll regret it if I do.

I managed to finally finish the page I was working on, it helped me feel better. Going to take a headache break and start choosing which photos and papers I want to play with next 😀

DUDE.........ME TOO for the total lack of mojo.......I'm guessing it's blocked to keep my nose to Christmas and the upcoming baby shower I'm hosting in early January...but MAN I'm having withdrawals from scrapping, and need the break from holiday stuff! I forced myself to make a page the other day and I kept telling myself even if I hate it, I can reprint the pictures and I have PLENTY of paper and can re-do it another day. I did it. I hate it.  |

I had a crop this weekend and it was also a Christmas party. It is the only party I am going to. We did a gift exchange. I got some Thickers and a border thing to keep the letters straight. There was tons of good food too. I had weight loss surgery so I could eat very little, but I brought a big plate home for my DH.
I scrapped pretty much all of my current photos and finished making my Goddaughter's Army album into 12x12. It had been 8.5x11 but her mom gave me a nice Army album to use.
So for now I will work on getting my Christmas cards sent out. I do a newsletter which is done and printed. Need to do addresses and stamps.

Spent last week cleaning house. On the weekend, ds was here with 3 of their boys, one of whom played hockey nearby, so we went to watch the game. Quick turnaround: supper after the game in town, came home here with ds & kids who spent the night, brunch for them in the morning and they were gone. I was exhausted, and spent most of the day yesterday just vegging out in front of the TV.
Thought I would get back into scrapping today, but I am now focussed on getting gifts wrapped and ready to mail to one ds's family and dd's family, neither of whom we will be seeing over Christmas. Still need to pick up the calendar photos and the Florida vacation photo books that were supposed to be ready this morning to go into those boxes, but as of 10:00AM the books were not ready. I had planned on wrapping everything once the printed pieces were here, but decided this morning I would wrap everything else and then finish the calendars (I glue the monthly photos into 4 calendars, and while they are open to that page I add all the relevant family dates, then move on to the next month) and wrap them up with the books and add to the box just before shipping. She promised she would have 2 books and all the calendars ready "sometime today", but she has promised me a couple of earlier deadlines. Here's hoping...
Hoping to get everything ready to be shipped early this week, so I can get back to those November photos that are crying to go onto a page...

I'm feeling so happy! I just learned about a crop in my area, and the woman running it is hoping to have it monthly starting in January. I'm so excited! There was another one I went to a handful of times a year ago, but she stopped running them. A lot of the same women from the previous crops will be at this one, so it should be a really good time. Can't wait!  |

My 12 year old DD was such a huge help to me last week (had some Orthopedic issues so I wasn't moving around very well) that I let her make Christmas cards both Saturday and Sunday. She went to town and had a blast! She's so excited about the card swap and is proud that she is contributing too.
