How was everyone's iNSD? I started early - on Thursday - and continued Friday and of course, Saturday. And I plan to scrap Sunday as well. DH is out of town on a business trip and DD15 is pretty self-reliant so I'm taking advantage and having a scrappy week.

Hope everyone who was celebrating yesterday had a great day. (((Hugs))) to those who find Mothers Day hard.
I had an awesome iNSD extended weekend. I participated in the SG crop and got 21 ( I think) pages done.

linda that is incredible! I am so glad you got so much inspiration from INSD. I am having a super slow quarter, because life always gets super busy in the springtime. It's hard to go one weekend without a birthday, graduation, wedding, shower, or some other event! I'll be away another week or 2 for a wedding, so you won't be seeing any more layouts from me for a while. I'm hoping to catch up on some reading though. I'll be following along with all your layouts!

This quarter has been a scrapping disaster for me. It's been so busy and even going away for 4 days to crop didn't end with much done lol. Lots of talking and eating though. I'm hoping to get my mojo back big time for this coming weekend PEA Celebration.
Wow @homeshoolmum, that's awesome that you were able to get so many pages done! I kept thinking about joining in on that crop, but I knew I wouldn't get to most of the challenges so decided not to join. I'm quite envious of your whole week to scrap!

Thanks scrappyrabbit. Sounds like you're in making memories mode joyfulnana - I'm very fortunate to have the entire week to scrap...I mean I do have to keep up with housework and DD15 does expect dinner every night but..no other obligations which is really nice. Sorry you weren't able to join the crop - it was well worth it and there was an interest poll about future paid crops I got October 2020 finished up today - just November and December and I'll be able to call 2020 finished. |

Linda I'll be sure and join in on the next one if they decide to do it again. I used to do their big free crops in the past,and really enjoyed them. Once the pandemic came I kinda dropped out of it and they have smaller ones everyone weekend, but I have my hands full with the challenges here lol. I preferred the larger, less often ones. Even with daily duties, that's awesome you will have so much time to relax and scrap (or just relax) if you want to!

joyfulnana - I like less frequent crops also - it's easier to tell DH I have a crop this coming weekend, when it's not EVERY weekend, lol.

So Artful Allies, you've been busy! I played along with all the games and questions, and even won a door prize at SG!
So DS got sick and played 1/2 of the first game and came home. Tested for Covid and was negative. But fever the night before and basically just a nasty head cold. Plus the weather was 48 degrees, windy, and rainy/snowy. He was on the couch most of Saturday and Sunday. He did go to school this morning, AND willingly went for his neurological psychological evaluation today. Dr. Jesse said he was VERY cooperative, honest, and worked hard! I told DS he had stitched the hurt part of my heart back together for going AND doing his very best. Results in a week or two.
Grammadee asked me to give you all a heads up to the thread for i2PSD. Be aware that there will be lots of points on the line and I think I will actually be able to play! I have to print some photos with my Epson PM400 to be ready probably.
On Sunday while DS was couching it, and DH was working on the wiring in the motor home . . . I edited, printed and got 90% of a layout done! It is for my Imagine DT gig, so won't be posted here until it goes live on their blog. I was really proud of myself for finding some creative energy. Hope it continues to carry over.
Question of the week: What is it that you want to do to get ready for i2PSD?

I have everything cut for 24 graduation cards and just need to put them together on Friday and Sat. I'm hoping to get a few more photos printed so I can scrapbook too.

Wow, Nylene that is a large number of graduation cards! I need to print photos, or just work on the ones I have left from my last print order. Although using my new little Epsom PM400 is sure handy! One more day and I2PSD will be going! This morning I woke up with a drippy nose and a sore throat. Thought I was catching what DS had and DH is fighting right now. Took a Zertex and it actually might just be allergies! Whew! I do have to work tomorrow, so I can't play until later in the day. Looking forward to earning double points. As most of my points are in the organizing category! I am about 2/3's through my kitchen. Either donating extras or items not needed, or re-purposing to go to the cabin in a few weeks! For some reason I have the bigger cabinets left for last? Feels really good to have finished as much as I have done thus far. Paper organization will probably happen after the weekend. Then I can actually start thinking about page kits to do at the lake . . . getting excited as the water is turned on at the seasonal cabin, and the dock should go into the water soon. There was ice on the lake until just 10 days ago! |

angel97701 - congrats on winning a door prize - how fun! Sorry you are all unwell - hopefully everyone will be feeling better super soon. 24 graduation cards - wow! nylene - that'll keep you busy for sure. I'm working on December 2020 photos this weekend - hoping to finish up 2020 and get it on the shelf. Starting off with some park photos - I've posted a couple in the 2nd Q thread and 1 (that I made post-midnight) in the crop thread. I have 2 or 3 more from the park to do I think. I was afraid I was going to miss the crop - our internet suddenly went out this afternoon and when I checked the router the cable had broken away from the jack. I called Comcast but since the acct is in DH's name they wouldn't do anything without talking to him - and he's out of state in Texas this week. BUT one of his coworkers (also at the conference) had her husband come over and he replaced the jack for us and got us back up and running - super kind of him.

I've finished up 2020 - did the last layouts tonight. Dh should be home from his business trip in about 30 minutes - not sure if I'll have scrappy time tomorrow or what my next project is...there are plenty of UFOs to pick from.

I did a December Daily and sorted all my stamp sets, ordered some clear folders to store them in. I can't believe the weekend is over already. It goes fast when you're having fun LOL.

Congrats to those of you that scrapped and got things done this weekend. It always seems that something comes up with DS and his disability . . . never ending story. Not enough time to do everything I want or would like to do! Have a week-long substitute gig, that will earn me a bonus as well as pay for each day. Paying for the new toys at the cabin!

Well so far this week I've not sat at my crop table . . . but I've been exploring how to get my Apple iCloud to be accessible on a PC, I may have to check in with AussieMeg! I do have photoshop elements purchased and downloaded on the PC, but need photos to play with! I have a great idea of a layout for some photos from Hawaii and was having fun on the weekend playing with some of the new features on PSE! |

That is what I will probably do going forward! I am curating photos and did about 3 hours of that today while "state-mandated" baby-sitting high schoolers. Double tasking at it's best! |

is it testing season in your high school? angel97701 - ours just finished testing - first the state tests, then the AP tests, and finally this week and last, the state required end of course exams. DD is SO ready for school to be out on Wed. I need to add up organising points - I've been working on photo labelling and organising again. |

So the last two days have been spent getting ready to move into the 324 sq ft cabin that is 1670 miles away! The not so hidden reason I was going through my cabinets for the NSBR organizing challenge. I still have cabinets to finish, but not ones that hold a lot of duplicates. Saturday I was absolutely exhausted because I detailed the inside of our 2010 Ford Flex. Vacuumed, cleaned surfaces, the whole 9 yards. It's a huge car, easily holds 6 passengers. Took about 5+ hours mixed in with other chores. Now we are loading it with things for the cabin. Fortunately I had about 4 boxes ready to go, but washed all the linens that will go to the cabin yesterday and today. DH will drive the motor home and pull a sail boat, I will drive the Flex and pull the power boat. DH will keep who ever is the sleepiest awake!
Now I have chores in the greenhouse, and then start packing the clothing and food for the next two weeks.
I did finish my blog post for Imagine to be published in June, so that counts as crafting. Also edited and printed photos for another layout. I need to go add up my points for organizing photos, like you Linda!
Any one else get anything done this weekend?
Question of the week . . . when does school get out in your area?
We get out on June 16th, so yes we are taking DS on an extended Memorial Day break before school gets out.

It sounds like you are about ready to go, angel97701. You have had a busy month with getting ready to go and doing a lot of substitute teaching. Our school is out on Thurs. They go a half day and then go home. We had a college graduation over last weekend, and have a H.S. graduation on Thurs. I can't believe my grands have grown up so much! I haven't been good about keeping up with my comments pts. or my crafting points. I figure if I itemize on my layouts that will be good enough. I'll try to go back and do them, but no promises. |
