i have my LO done and am pretty proud of myself that i actually did it in under 20 minutes! i have nuvos drying so i haven't photographed it yet--with a cat who hangs out in my scrappy space more than i do, i wanted to get it out of her reach very quickly here's the sketch i picked out and my LO looks nothing like it! my sketch sketchy saturday 12.22.18 by sadkid, on Flickr but when i post it i think you'll see that i was definitely inspired by it i'll photograph after work tomorrow.

i have had times where i had no choice but to freeze, so i definitely unsubbed from everything, and pretty well just stayed off the internets. however, if i try and make myself not buy stuff, it always backfires. i'll do very well for a period of time and then it's like the dam breaks and i just go batshit crazy buying up stuff left and right. i am going to try to be good for the next few months but we shall see. OP i wish you luck! if you'd like inspiration for using your stash, check out our monthly team challenge in the challenges forum

i got my december hipkit and it's SO GORGEOUS but i'm kind of scared to use it because it's so pretty. ridiculous, i know, and i usually don't fuss about stuff like that, but i'm having serious anxiety about it

Here is another gem . I don't speak German but can definitely read those bottom three on the right 😳 pretty sure "wottsefack" in the upper left is self-explanatory too

i think your presents look lovely grammadee! and your story of your son (well both stories actually) are hilarious, TFS! joblackford that black paper is beautiful i loathe wrapping presents! my grandma taught me how to do it "right" when i was little and i still do it her way, but i suck at it and don't enjoy a single thing abut the process. i use a lot of gift bags! we keep and reuse them each year, sometimes the tissue paper too depending on its condition, but i also buy at after-christmas sales. this year i spent a big wad at the dollar tree on nothing but bags in a bazillon sizes and still didn't have the right size for many things when i was younger, my mother made me wrap everything and then complained when i did a crummy job, so maybe that's why i dislike it so much? and she has some things this year she wants me to wrap, too! i very much enjoy watching everyone open their gifts though, whether it's something from me or not.

i have the perfect story for this one! it is a story from this year, actually. my 19-yr-old daughter was home from college and i had been using her room as my "wrapping center" so i guess she was inspired to start wrapping her gifts. she bought my mother an awkward-shaped item and asked for my help so i found her a box it would fit in and went merrily on my way. i later saw her carrying her pile of gifts towards the tree and there was the box, in all its brown cardboard glory. i said, "you didn't wrap it?" and she looked at me like i had 3 heads and said, very defensively, "i put tape on it!" and i was like ok then. i had to tell my mother and we got a big laugh over it and i have a feeling that will be our new christmas catch phrase when someone does a rush wrapping job

i would say 99.9% of my photos suck. i do not edit photos because i do not want to waste time doing so or waste time learning a new program. i just scrap them anyway!

i am not a huge fan of christmas music and i'm not sure why...i sing them when i hear them the little drummer boy is the one i absolutely cannot stand and will not listen to lol...we turn the radio whenever it comes on. my favorite is carol of the bells and i also really like mariah carey's "all i want for christmas is you." we sang the hallelujah chorus from handel's messiah in high school and it's one of my favorite songs of all time, not just for christmas and this one just cracks me up beyond all reason: LOL it's not technically a christmas song, but i have to listen to it at least once each year and giggle like a little boy. i have many band concerts and spring concerts and christmas concerts and so forth to scrap (i do not like scrapping them lol) so thank you for the prompt!
