I haven't had time to scrapbook since Christmas. I'm starting to get frustrated!
I nearly started packing it up for our move, but since construction is delayed at least 2 months, I am happy I didn't do that.
How is your mojo these days?

My mojo was on fire in January and I'm hoping it'll stick around in February as well

I just realized the crop I was excited for this weekend is not until the following week! So at least I can keep working on some of my small house organization projects.
My new granddaughter was due Feb 14 but she arrived 5 weeks early and perfectly healthy, just smaller than she would have been full term. You can imagine the photos that have piled up these past 3 weeks!
DGD1 and I have been taking ice skating lessons together and let's say there is no natural talent or ability, but we are getting cute photos!
Lastly the shower I planned for my DIL came off very nicely despite a last minute change of venue, date, time, food, you name it. Our area was expecting snow and where I live an inch of snow will cancel school and shut down businesses. So my venue pulled out on me and I scrambled for another place, had to order food. When I went to pick it up that morning no staff had come in and nothing was made up. Oh my goodness, I thought what else is going to go wrong!
In any case it turned out very nice and 2 of my friends took a ton of photos. Oh my goodness! Life is full of photo opportunities right now!

knock on wood, the mojo is pretty good. now that xmas is done and all the decor is put away, i have time to work on projects. i'm finishing up some junk journals right now.
you just have to go in there and do it. even if you don't have a specific project in mind, start leafing through your supplies and tools and that mojo will come back. maybe some papers will inspire a new project.
this is going to sound silly but a bookcase jumpstarted my mojo. on new year's eve (of a all days), i did a quick run to Ikea to get a bookcase to hold all of my dies. they were starting to pile up and it was a pain sifting through them. that little act of organization kicked off my excitement for new projects. i was excited that i was finally able to grab any die or stamp without rummaging through a heap. it's the little things. lol

I need to clean up this room before I can start on anything new. But I am motivated by challenges, and 28-4-28 will be dropping a new one in every day this month, and I have some fun winter pic's to scrap, as well as some left over from summer and fall. It will be fun to play with something not holiday related!
Is anyone playing along with LOAD at ScrapHappy? I know justjac is planning to play, and just saw a comment there from crystalb. Anyone else? |

I didn't have a lot of mojo last month. I'm hoping this month will be better. I'm eyeing the two page sketch and inspo layout from PageMaps this month. Can anyone tell me what collection was used? Maybe VB? It's so pretty!  |

I need some me crafty time. And I have time this weekend. I'm hoping I have the motivation to do so.
My desk is clean. I even have stuff right there to make some Valentine's cards.
It's my happy place. I don't know why sometimes it so hard to get there. It's literally down the hall from the couch. It has a comfy chair and tv even. Lol. Good lighting. It's warm , not drafty. It's really ideal.

I'm posting a lot of layouts on YouTube. I'm also scrapping a lot. Excited to do some 28-4-28 challenges. (Even though I've never understood why it's called that, LOL). I'm taking time off work for the next few days so hoping to get scrapping done.

Love seeing what the crafty Peas do. (BTW, Linda is right: 28 challenges for 28 days = 28-4-28) |

Looks like it's VB Fernwood....I shouldn't have gone down that rabbit hole - the whole collection is gorgeous and I'm frozen Definitely looks like Vicki Boutin, and those seed pods look like Fernwood. This was one collection I had decided I could [just] live without, but the more I see of it, the more I am hoping some of it will still be around when my freeze is over. (Not much hope of that, though, as I think it was selling out fast) |

I'm just waiting for the electric fireplace to heat up my scraproom a little bit. Another half hour and we should be good! I've already got an idea for one of the challenges. |

I can't remember which Pea said she saved her branding strips for a year, to see how much paper she used. I did it from February-February. I used 450 sheets of paper! I do layouts and card making.

I don't remember who said they count branding strips. I know msliz saves and uses alot of them. |

I finally created a layout yesterday! My life has been beyond crazy recently and I haven't really had the energy or time to be creative.
I need to make it a priority for myself.

I started January on a roll, scrapping every evening, doing layouts right and left. Then February came along and it’s a bust! I think I made one card.
Hoping to find my mojo somewhere. Even the 100-day project isn’t motivating me. Blah.
