Good morning, well at least, it's morning here in Michigan. 7:30ish.
So who's up and ready to craft?
I see several more challenges went up after I went to bed last night. Of course, I couldn't sleep. Ideas for Patter's Art Journal challenge kept going through my head. And then I was dreaming of scrapbooking. Hope everyone is well rested and ready to create.

I am up!
I have my Back to Basics Challenge 1 page done (still need to post in gallery and link)
I have the components of my Art Journal page ready (remember this is my first go at this so don't be too critical), but since I have to you "messy" stuff I need to wait till the hubs wakes up before I start making lots of noise in the garage with my tools and such.
I am working right now on the first of four pages for Nylene's Pokey Peas challenge.
Whew - I am having fun!

maribeth, I was wondering how much you had already accomplished by getting up so early. You're rocking it! I've started a fire. Uploaded the video and written direction for how to link between the gallery and the threads. (I tagged you, Maribeth so you'd be sure to see it). The computer took an hour to upload a 2 minute video - yikes! so I've also worked on the AJ challenge some and viewed all of the other posted challenges. I'm so excited to work on them this week.

alissa103, are you feeling better this morning? Maybe? Or maybe I'm trying to pretend like I am to fake out my body. The headache is the worst part. I think if I could tackle it I would be ok. So far nothing is helping. DH is on DS patrol today, so I can rest and scrap. So I'm hoping after some tea I'll be motivated to head into my scrap room. Thanks for asking!  |

What is everyone working on?
I'm checking out the challenges and trying to see what I want to start with. There's some great ones!

Good Morning! I love crops! But I am so unprepared to scrap today. I have a list of things to do before I can get my hands paper cut and inky.  maribeth, I can't believe you are already knocking out challenges. GO GIRL! |

I hope you feel better. Wish I knew of a fail safe headache remedy for you. |

I went to bed with inky hands even after I washed them 2x. Since some of the stains are still there, I don't think they'll improve today. But inky hands make me happy. Like doing a little dance happy. |

Good morning everyone! I have briefly checked out the threads, and they look fun. My dilemma is what to work on. I am in between projects and seasons, but need to have pictures printed for new ones. Hmmm... Sorry you're not feeling well, alissa103. It's extra hard to be sick when you have a little one. Thanks for hosting, LisaDV! I'm looking forward to playing along with something. |

I'm up but still need to get dressed and going! DD is sick again (had pneumonia about a month ago, so I'm a little worried) but hopefully I'll be able to get something done today!

I was just served breakfast. The kids made pancakes and sausage. And it's 10:46, so it's more like brunch. Dh's back is acting up today, (of course, since I'm taking time) so the kids had to clean up last night's dishes before making breakfast. I had to go patty the sausage for them. But DH ended up having to go flip the pancakes. they were mangling and burning them. (In their defense, we have egg free, dairy free, gluten free, soy free pancakes and they are difficult to flip.)

I am so sorry. I know how you feel. My daughter was in the hospital for 10 days. She has missed so many university classes. Now she had to go to urgent care this week because she is so sick. She has bronchitis now. Praying for your daughter and that you get something done today. |

I wish I could join the crop,but I have company all weekend. Have fun everyone and a big thank you to all the organizers. Hope I can join you next time.
P.S. I originally read NC15 as NCIS, and thought 1. I was on the wrong board and 2. Why all the TV talk, lol.

You have until next Sunday to get the challenges in. We'll be fairly quiet during the week so we can all get more scrapping done.P.S. I originally read NC15 as NCIS, and thought 1.

Hubs made lunch. Tacos. And he used parsley instead of cilantro in the guacamole. lol. Luckily he didn't use a lot so it's only every 3 or 4 bites that you hit a piece. It really throws off the flavor. I guess he gets an E for Effort.

I decided to pull out DD's high school album. I've been focusing on family albums for the last year instead. It's a little early to be in the Christmas mood, and I don't have pictures printed for my fall album, so this is it. I have a few pages to do from her junior year, and all of senior year. Maybe I'll finish by the time she come home for the holidays. Scrapping with you all this week will keep me motivated. I've done one page already, and am waiting to be accepted to the gallery Flickr group so I can submit to challenge #1. Yay, it's on, Peas! Sorry about your sick kids, crazy4scraps and @patter! |

Thanks for hosting the crop ! I just got off work, going to make dinner and then going to look over the challenges and see if I have time to work on anything. Looks like my first step should be to get a Flickr acct. Hope I can get that right  |

I went to bed dreaming of what I would make today. I'm excited to see so many challenges pop up overnight and am just trying to catch up on some of the mb threads before I jump back in.
I hope those of you who are not feeling well/have sick families are feeling better soon.

Hey everyone. I haven't scrapping in a long time, but I got my stuff out today and I'm on my second layout so far. DH took the kids out for the afternoon so I have the afternoon and some white chocolate macadamia nut cookies all to myself. I was so excited to be scrapping that this video is the only way I can describe it.  I'm scrapping! I'm scrapping! |

Have you posted your projects in the gallery yet, I would love to take a gander at them. Happy you are joining us too. The more the merrier I always say. |

I always think I'll get more involved and post my layouts. I used to years ago on two peas, but these days since I so rarely scrap I find that I can't spare the time to take pictures and upload them. I want to get as much scrapping in as possible when I take that rare afternoon or whole day to scrap. |
