Looking forward to a Saturday crop mid-month. It seems that the only time I can devote to scrapping this summer has to be spent away from home. I just can't get anything done here these days!

Big month for me, I left my job of 37 years and I've just had my first project posted for the Fiskars design team. Congratulations on both events! I left my job after 37 years in June. Congrats to you too Mikklynn.

Sounds like lots of fun and organization and creativity going on! Enjoy your crops, msliz and @ihavetoomuchstuff . Are you cropping together? Enjoy your clean table, dald222 . Sounds like you have been getting a lot of pages finished. Congrats on your design team, Scrapthology . Hope that scrapping and creativity become a huge part of your retirement, and of mikklynn 's. I didn't really get into scrapbooking until after I retired from my full time job. Then I was happy to take on short term contracts to help me pay for the fun! Hope you love the supplies you ordered, ABCreations, and that they come quickly. I came home with a bunch more printed photos and want to scrap them ALL, but not a lot of time today. I ended up doing what you might call page kits: selected cs, printed off some sketches, did a bit of foiling, purchased a couple of Silhouette files... I now have plans and supplies out for three different two page spreads, and a vague plan in my head for a single page. Still need to print off the August challenges. All that will have to wait until tomorrow when dh will be in town all morning. My garden is calling me...

I made 8 cards on the weekend and got them mailed out. This weekend is my annual weekend. I need to pack for that. I'm not sure how good that will go. I am coming home on Friday night so I can add to what I need for Saturday.
One of the LSS near me is having an anniversary sale...you pick a plastic egg and open it to receive 10% , 25% or 35% off..I went yesterday night after work...guess what I got..35% off!!!! yay me.
I ordered from Scrapbook.com I am hoping my order might arrive today or tomorrow..not sure it will though.. I am trying to decide what to take to work on.
I have to make a bridal shower card. Or actually I don't , I don't think it will be appreciated so why not just buy one...ok so there I don't have to do that.
I got the new Tim Holtz Christmas dies and I have decided that this year I am making 12 special cards so I could start building Santas. I need to make more Lawn Fawn type of cards.
I'm really just looking forward to being around my scrappy friends

I have to make a bridal shower card. Or actually I don't , I don't think it will be appreciated so why not just buy one...ok so there I don't have to do that. I was asked to make a baby shower card for a co worker last week. I worked very hard on it, and it was (toot my own horn) really nice. Then the person throwing the shower forgot to send it around, so just signed "from all your co-workers" in the card, shoved the gift card into it, (didn't even use the pocket holder I made) and gave it to the mom to be. She ripped the gift card out and threw the card in the card pile and later tossed them into the trash. Never again I tell you.... On the upside, I am going to crop for 3 days!!!! Made my reservation at Pine City Scrapbook company!!! www.thepinecityscrapbookingco.com/ Will be there Friday, Sat and Sunday, mikklynn, not sure if you live anywhere close, but would love to actually meet someone on this board if you do!

I'm so excited for this weekend! I have a small scrapbook.com order arriving (a stamp set and the free adhesive they advertised the other day, as well as a free magazine), and Victoria Marie is doing a special boot camp on Saturday for her Patreon supporters. It's going to be fun! She's also doing a workshop for her Patrons on the 31st so I'm going to be taking a lot of notes this month. Sunday I'm going to a huge flea market with my aunt, I'll be on the lookout for some crafty things while I'm there. I've been so caught up in my snail mailing lately that I haven't been motivated to scrap, but I'm hoping to do some work in a traveler's notebook soon.

dald222 , looks like you're on fire again this month! Yay you! I have to make a bridal shower card. Or actually I don't , I don't think it will be appreciated so why not just buy one...ok so there I don't have to do that.
This made me giggle. I do the same thing. However, DH says with a room full of goodies, we shouldn't have to pay money for cards. Doesn't stop me from buying them though.

That's so sad. Next time make a super simple one. (all mine tend to be super simple).
I bought a few goodies today. I really need some colored cardstock since mine (mainly SU, Bazzill) is at the other house. I have HL, Js, Ms and TM around me. Any one have suggestions as to which cardstock at which store would be best for my silhouette? Recollections from Ms gums up my blade and I don't think it cuts as nice.

That’s when I use those cards that don’t quite come out right, rather than throwing them out. I mean since they are only going to toss it anyway.

Big month for me, I left my job of 37 years and I've just had my first project posted for the Fiskars design team. Congratulations on both! I can't believe it's August. I'm bummed because school starts back up and excited for Scrapbook Expo next weekend. It's a mixed bag.
