I'm so happy that I'm just using my stash this year and I bought minimal stuff (Kelly Purkey's holiday kit). It's so nice seeing things I bought 3 years ago getting used! Using up what you loved 3 years ago is the best feeling ever!! Yay for you!!

It’s now officially December and I JUST now finished my title page for my DD and also noticed I only have about half of the page protectors I need for my DD...total procrastinator here.

I’m excited to continue working in my Yellowstone vacation album. I started it at my 4 day retreat last weekend and got 36 pages done!! An all time record for me who is generally a slow scrapper! I’m also excited to get started with DD! It’s probably my favorite scrapbook project!

Discovering a new lss (it opened about a year ago) near me. I LOVE being able to see the paper and products in person again! Nothing like walking into a lss where everyone knows you. So welcoming! It feels like a second home. Also, I love going to the monthly crops there and meeting other scrapbookers. I am actually leaving this morning for a long weekend retreat there!! And of course, this wonderful site and all the talented and kind fellow scrapbookers!

I am actually going to a 4 day retreat this weekend and don’t know anyone else who is attending except for the lady hosting it. She is the owner of my lss and hosts several retreats a year. This will be my first retreat with her but have gone to a couple of all day crops at her store and really enjoyed them. Everyone was very nice and welcoming.

You do have to use cartridges with it but of all the Cricuts, this one was probably my favorite. I love it!

I actually read an older book that has been on my to be read list, The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Very enjoyable quick read. So glad I finally got around to reading it.

Spring is definitely my LEAST favorite. I don’t care for pastels and do not enjoy Easter at all. However? I absolutely LOVE both fall and Christmas!!

I don't really like the color scheme (maybe it will grow on me) but need that shopping cart and mini van stuff... They also have a new coffee line that I need! Thank you for the heads up on the coffee line. I looked it up and ordered right away! I love it! And it’s so perfect for a I love coffee mini album I’m doing for my daughter for Xmas!!

My scrappy strength is that I’m pretty focused and always finish an album or project before starting another. I never have unfinished projects laying around. I used to always print my photos right away. I’ve gotten bad about this and want to get back doing it again. I’m

Just got my access to previous years and I’m so excited. I love Christmas but each year I don’t necessarily have a big to do about it. I think buying this class instead of more supplies was a wise choice. I have so much older Christmas product that I love and need to use. I usually do a DD but am really considering doing JYC this year! It sounds like it might be a better fit for me.

I either go to a yoga class or practice yoga at home, meditate, scrapbook or read. DH works long hours so he is ready to sit in his recliner and watch tv or be on his phone. I feel bad since I do not enjoy watching tv so we really don’t do anything together. But we’re both fine with doing our own thing. We always have.

I read two books in the last couple of weeks. The first one was Clock Dance by Anne Tyler. Since I am an Anne Tyler fan, I really liked it, although it wasn't my favorite of hers. I also read Something Like Happy by Eva Woods. It also was very good. I loved the 100 days of happiness project that it was based on. I am glad that I read them both.

Because it was our anniversary and out dd’s birthday, I didn’t get a lot of time in my craft room this weekend, although I did finally finish a layout I’ve had laying on my desk for over a week.

I have been working on DGD's mini album of her trip to Washington, DC and NYC. I swear, the mini is just as much work as the full size album! I have been watching Victoria Marie's December Daily videos for inspiration. I just finished working on 2 mini albums and I agree. They are definitely as much work as a 12x12.

I am scrapping now and will be all weekend!! YAY me!! I just don’t know where. I signed up for a 15 hour crop tomorrow but am seriously considering not going for several reasons. One, I am a total introvert and love scrapping alone in my craft room. Two, my DD is going through a tough time and I keep thinking I should spend the day with her. And three, the crop is at a new scrapbook store and I have never cropped there and don’t know anyone. I’ll keep you posted what I decide. Regardless, I’m hoping to finish the scrapbook of my surprise birthday party! Happy scrapbooking!! Well I went to the 15 hour crop. Thanks so much for my DH for encouraging (forcing) me to go!! I had a fabulous time AND finished the album of my surprise bday party!! I met some wonderful new scrapbookers and even a lady I scrapbooked with years ago! I actually even signed up for a 4 day retreat in November!! SO happy I went out of my comfort zone and went !

Another great scrapbook store that I love but only get to a few times a year is Picture This in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It is a huge store with lots of great new products for both scrapbooking and stamping! It also has a retreat center right there with lots of room to work. I actually think it keeps getting better and better all the time!! It may be my new favorite store! Good thing it’s a 90 minute drive!!
