I stayed up ‘til the second intermission and went to bed nervous. Still woke up with the dawn chorus and will be dragging all day…. Nice title, grammadee. Interesting that you need ponder, joblackford. My brain shouted it out instantly upon seeing the question.

Hmm, I also feel this is a tough one.
I think maybe -

Somehow I missed a day. How did that happen?
Now that I have prom pic's from two different proms dgd attended, I need to put together another couple of LO's for her album. Hoping to use one of them for a sample for this next Saturday's sketch.
And I need to start calculating June points.

Somehow I missed a day. How did that happen? I think I did too, even though I read everything here. I must've been too busy overthinking my memoir title. I got caught up with family stuff yesterday but I did manage to finish a few more cards. I've run out of my preferred vellum and double sided adhesive sheets so today I'm going to see if I can make do with thicker adhesive and thinner vellum. Yesterday I also forced myself to put away everything on my desk that I wasn't actually in the middle of using. Things had been creeping up into piles and I was running out of space to work.

Working in the middle of several piles is my scrappy MO! I tend to clean and organize when a)I can't find anything, &/or b)when a theme is finished. I had hoped to clear away all the grad and prom stuff this week, but now I have a new set of prom pic's, so I will be leaving most of the stuff out.

Heading into a busy day, so posting now. If anyone wants some inspiration, or to squeeze out a few more points this Quarter, take a look at tomorrow's Sketchy Saturday Challenge. Good for 5 points for this team if you use it by end of day Sunday!

Gosh, see, once I missed one day commenting I threw off my whole streak! This morning I started watercoloring straight away after I got up because it's a much better start than reading the news (ugh). Now I'm posting some of my MIL's junk to give away on Buy Nothing - hubby cleared out some of her excess holiday decor and old linens she hasn't used in decades.
The sun is out. I need to get into the garden and weed, really badly. I'm already wondering if it's time for my lunchtime coffee and it's only 9:48am. Hubby is up on a ladder working on the never-ending siding repaint project. Just another typical day around here.
Is the sun shining where you are?

NOPE! It's cool and almost a little dank. And yet, after the beastly heat dome of last week, I have windows open and am blissfully just a teensy bit chilled. Second to last day of June, folks! Follow grammadee's excellent example and start working on your challenge points calculations. You can post your quarter total here or PM it to me. I'm good either way.

Is the sun shining where you are? The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The weeds are growing. I am sitting on our covered deck where it is a comfy 18C in the shade with a blissful light breeze. just got in from my second hour hoeing and hand weeding in the sun—which was a lot hotter than 18. When I finish my coffee I will head out there for another hour. Then it will be time for a shower, some lunch, and a nap. In any order…

Last day to rack up points, team! Hope you have some time to play with paper!
Won’t be me, though. Back in the garden this morning. Just spent a hour out there. Coffee break now. One more long row to clear the weeds from. Then some watering.
Last 12 hours to sign up for Q-3, so if you have not already done that, hop over there!

I slightly altered a card made from a photo of a Hummel figurine (repurposed from a 1980s address book) to make a 52nd b'day card for my friend. I added the sentiment "you're not old, you're vintage" which I had typed out on a real vintage typewriter and stamped a sentiment inside using a previously unused stamp That was my small win of the day. His b'day was today but I was able to drop it off this morning. I'll try to get some last minute crochet points this evening instead of rotting my brain on IG.

Shakti - you did an AMAZING job as team leader and I hope you lead again! My total was 3850 these 3 months. Got a good amount of that from moving/cleaning/reorganizing my scrap space!

Slacker that I am, I have finally done my tally and my quarterly total is 4715 points. Now I have to figure out how/where I want to calculate the team total. If you haven't given me your total, expect a tag in the next few hours

Shakti 231 Way smaller than I wanted, but with the bathroom remodel and work, there wasn't much time. Maybe later I will be able to join again and actually contribute a little more.

Thank you, scrappert. Hopefully challenge team membership at least helped motivate to craft a little when it probably would've been easier (but less satisfying) to just let it drop completely.
