Wanna iNSD with the Peas?

I felt like that the first day too and woke up the next day totally back to normal all but for the sore arm!  Here's hoping that's how you are too!  

If you still need hosts I can do the Saturday 4-8pm session.

jeremysgirl and Neisey , thank you both so much! I'll add you to the line-up!

Jeremysgirl, on my pc, to host all I do is to sign into Google, click on the Meet icon, click on New Meeting, and click on Start an Instant Meeting. Then I get a pop up with the link, and I can copy and paste it in my invitation post here on the board. Then I stick around for 4 hours and admit participants individually. If I need to run to the kitchen (or elsewhere), I'll ask DD to sit in and listen for the chime and click them in.

Thank you so much guys for the quick tutorial.  I'm sure I can manage it.  I'll do a test run tonight with my husband just to make sure.  See you tomorrow!

I’m hoping to join tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

is there a chat thread for the iNSD crop or just the online chats? grammadee

Good morning and happy iNSD peas!

I'm feeling scrambled this morning.
- It's my DHs birthday - I have to take care of him today (I think that's a given on your birthday!), make cake, get a present (ahem) etc.
- the sun is shining and I WANT to go for a run (see how I put that? i "want" to go for a run". That's supposed to psychologically make it easier. It doesn't actually work) and I WANT to get some yard work done.
- we need groceries, but we're doing Chinese take-out for supper so the pressure is off
- I want to vacuum (no, really this time, I WANT to vacuum, I will feel better if the floors have less pet hair on them!) but DH is still in bed and I don't think "take care of the birthday boy" includes "wake up to sounds of vacuuming"

And of course, iNSD - I wanna scrapbook!!! But it's going to have to be in the backseat I think.

Is anyone else amazed and overwhelmed by all the sites hosting challenges/crops? I would love to play along, but it's a bit much and made me feel anxious, so I'm going to IGNORE it all and just play quietly here

Here's a layout I finished last night

Off to make a cake now

msliz - looking forward to seeing your page!

kitbop - Happy Birthday to Mr. Kitbop! What a sweet page - love the photos and that vertical centre line with the horizontal photos.

grammadee - sounds like you have lots of options to work on.


I'm tired this morning because DD20 woke me up at 4am with a kidney stone and I never managed to fall back asleep. She's feeling a bit better now and headed back to bed for a nap. But I'm scrapping - 3 pages/2 layouts done so far in DS's Hawaii album including one based on grammadee 's sketch



sorry this one is blurry - the actual photos aren't

I'm sorry joyfulnana - that's a bummer! Hopefully the new weekend plans are fun at least


This layout is based on a sketch I posted in the iNSD Sketch thread.



DH and DD14 came back from riding and headed back out to the city (about 90 minutes away) - they'll be gone all afternoon. DD20 is sleeping - hopefully she'll be feeling more herself when she wakes up. So it's just me here today BUT since the city trip was supposed to be tomorrow - not sure if I'll get to scrap or we'll end up doing stuff.

We had some technical difficulties, but the link to the noon to 4 EST Virtual Crop is now open. I hope you'll come join us! 

Edited: Link is closednow, but the next crop is open. Just check the board for the thread with the link 

Oh no. That's a very hard situation to be in. I have a somewhat similar situation with an in law - we have to balance caring about them (because they're human, a relative, and vulnerable) with boundaries to protect ourselves from their mental illness and them not being a person who can care about others, even their own children. I hope you get a little downtime in.

My morning has disappeared on me, as they all tend to do... I got a little 100 day coloring done, tidied up my desk, and after lunch my goals are to move photos around on my computer, find the ones I want to put in my end of year book, save them in the right places and hopefully make a few drafts of pages, and revisit some other WIP digital projects.

Or I might get totally derailed because I pulled out my DD/JYC smash/notebook/whatever it is and there's a part of my that just wants it done. There's another a part of me that wants to throw the whole thing in the trash. I probably won't.

I should be able to earn some points, even if they're just for organizing. But first, lunchtime!

Kitbop, so sorry your plans got turned upside down. I hope you can still find a few quiet moments tonight to relax and celebrate DH's birthday
