Q-4 Team Member CHAT!

Another thing I do is little things to make things flow more easily when I am in a good head space. I make new lists, maybe of pages I want to make, supplies I want to use. I look for and print out sketches or ideas that may work for those pages. I sort the photos I have, and make a list of those I want to print when I am in town.

Right now I am watching bits and pieces of the free scrapbooking summit I signed up for, printing off a couple of idea sheets. The classes are processed based rather than the techniques base classes I prefer, and many are based on Cricut use, but each day there has been one or two that resonate with me, and their instruction sheets have pic's of the finished pages Ican use as a guide later if I don't have the patience to listen to all the construction steps.

The urge to "DELETE!" when stressed is not weird: sounds perfectly understandable. I remember when computers first showed up in our workspace and many of us older people fantasized about what and WHO we would delete if that button worked on tasks or people LOL!

Good morning, PEAple! Woke up this morning to almost an inch of snow on the ground. Dd & fam are supposed to be picking me up to go to dgs's hockey game this afternoon. This is Alberta, so that game will be happening: if we postponed games b/c of snow, there would be precious few games LOL!

Forgot to tell you about the HAUL I acquired at the printers on Friday! I dropped off my calendar pages for printing, and as I was leaving the owner asked someone to "grab that scrapbook stuff". They went out of scrapbooking supplies years ago but I guess recently they unearthed a stack of papers about 2" thick. It's a mix of older brands, and all thin paper printed on one side, but other than the Barbie sheets, most of it is usable for me--hockey, basketball, football, stripes and dots. Most of it Paper Pizzaz or Karen Foster. He said if I wanted it I could have it for free, and of course I said I would take it!

Yesterday dh was completely absorbed by two CFL semi final games and a curling tourney on TV, so I stayed in my craft room and played. Put together a couple of LO's from my leftover crop kits. Still have a few more to finish so I don't feel pressure to "catch up", like a kid as the end of a long weekend approaches and he realizes that essays don't write themselves.

Okay, off to post my LO's in the Sharing Thread...

Happy belated birthday, scrappyrabbit! And your three pages are amazing!

Dgs (age 11) is now here for two days, and today we tackle the basement! Last month, we did a few reno's around the stairs which had necessitated the removal of all the kids' toys from under the steps. Today, we are going to go through the bins, decide what toys to keep, what to store away for any future babies or toddlers, what to discard. Then we can replace the shelves under the stairs stow the keepers in the bins that fit under there, and set the filled bins on the shelves. My plan is to have this all done by tomorrow evening when he needs to be back for hockey practice.

I don't enjoy organizational tasks, mainly b/c my brain--which easily sorts ideas from top (big or important) to small--seems to have to think about THINGS from small to large, so I always feel buried in the minutia, and end up ordering and reordering into different groups. Don't know if this makes sense to you, b/c it doesn't ever make sense to ME, and seems to take way too much energy.

The good thing is, with ADHD dgs around, there is no chance of my getting lost in my own head LOL.
