Delightful Divas April 2021

Wow. That’s a lot of juicers!

I got one page done this weekend and ordered a bunch of photos.

joblackford I definitely reach for my gramma's glass juice when I need fresh lemon juice. Nothing works like it. But I only have two of them.


agree on kitbop titles.

To catch up on questions, I sit to scrap but my spot with my family is downstairs from most of my supplies. So I go up and down the steps and I'm actually getting a tiny bit of exercise.

I have a goal weight, so if I am under, I feel free to have a small bit of fries. If I'm over I'll opt for a salad.

I am feeling like I haven't done many projects this month. I'm more of a cardmaker than a scrapbook page maker and the only holiday coming is mother's day. I have three out of four of my March pocket page album completed.

Hope all my Divas are enjoying some spring or fall color. We've been on five bike trail rides so far and the bike season has just begun. I'm taking my second shot plus ten days immunity to the grocery store tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Sounds like a month for MAKING memories, jjpeapea. There will be down times when you can document them.

Hang in there kitbop. I managed to get my hair cut and coloured when we were in "Stage 2", but now that we are back to Stage 1, I don't think the salons or barbershops are open again, now. I agree about what seems like the randomness of regulations. Hoping the roll out of vaccines will make a difference in people's physical, mental and financial health. One thing, our province's threat that they would not open up until 75% of Albertans were vaccinated has spurred the hoax crowd into lining up for shots, trying to get that percentage up there. Although part of me wants us compliant folks to get our second shot before the non covid-believers get their first

I have completed some pages this month, finished some cards and am working on another batch. Have my points calculated on most of what I have done, but not added up anywhere except on a piece of scrap paper here in the mess on my desk. Enrolled in Shimelle's class, and enjoyed the videos, but have not attempted anything yet.

Started what I THOUGHT would be a quick clean out of a bedroom closet, which has ended up being a marathon. Might just claim some of those hours, since part of the task is going through craft kits I have to decide if I am keeping, selling, giving away, or pitching... Oh, and some of the shelves in there were hanging on by a millimetre, and when I started pulling things out, they started collapsing. Stupid partical board shelves shrink in 35 years, I guess.

Okay, back into the fray...

Good luck on haircuts. We are becoming quite expert (and hey, if I don't look at the back of my head what does it matter what it looks like?) Our hairdressers are open but when they were closed I learned to hack my own hair and now I'm never going back. Hubby already did his own.

I sort of get the restrictions at the big stores, even though it's also stupid. Last year in the early days, when we actually had meaningful restrictions, some people here were spending a lot of time wandering aisles "shopping" for "essentials" like yarn and new appliances at Walmart every day just because they were bored and feeling cabin fever. But idk if it made much difference to restrict which aisles they could shop or what they could buy. Definitely doesn't help small businesses - that's just ridiculous.

I don't do whatever goes on during iNSD, I don't shop sales or do challenges. But since I have the time and there are extra points here I will try to catch up with my digital scrapping today and do a little bit of cardmaking with new supplies I bought the other day. It's a rainy/cloudy day here, tomorrow the sun will probably come out and I'll have to do some gardening. I think I forgot to do my month end photo maintenance last month so I will get some organizing points at least.

I'm not a points expert but I would either count it as an "other craft" and do the points based on how many hours it took you, 10 per hour, or do easy peasy points for the total size if all the pieces you decorated were laid out (which would probably be 20 I think). Or you could consider each layer as its own creation and count it that way - as if it was several small artworks you then stuck together. 

I tend to choose based on how much effort I put into it. If it was quick and easy I choose a method that is fewer points but if it was a huge effort (like 6 hours work) I wouldn't want to only get 10 or 20 points for it! But I don't think anyone really minds how you count it. 

Looks like I made 70 cards last month!
Total points: 1443 kitbop thanks.
