I can't believe I just spent 2 hours tonight and over an hour last weekend on 1 layout. How lame is that??!! Oh well I need to just accept that I am a slow scrapper. At least I like how it turned out.

I've been gone for 8 days, so I am anxious to get to my scrappy place! I have a FJ box sitting here unopened. I'm going to do the 90 loads of laundry and scrapbook as soon as I finish catching up here and take a shower. It's good to be home

Have you seen the new SS "Domestic Goddess" line? One of their PL cards says "Loads of Fun!" And Taylored Expressions has a bunch of "Spin Cycle" stamps and dies in their March release. Now we can even scrap ourselves doing our laundry!

Looks like no scrapping for me this weekend. The DDs edged me off to the side of the craft table to make room for their painting project. I think I'm going to join them tomorrow and paint up some cardstock to use for scrappy backgrounds.

Our little guy's 2nd birthday was yesterday but we're not having his party until the end of the month. I ordered the digital invite (LOVE Party Box Design. Jess is AWESOME and fast and has the cutest and neatest invites!) on Thursday, went to FedEx to have them printed, made envies for each of them last night and mailed them today. I also made treat bag toppers for his birthday party at the sitter's on Monday. I have a lot of other crafting to do the next two weeks for his party. It's so fun to get to play with all my paper lol. How's this for some old paper usage lol? Recognize the KI Memories, Sei, Scenic Route and Pink Paislee?!

Two parcels came home from the post office with dh today: my CTMH order with the page protectors and ziplock bags, and my replacement VAGABOND!!!!
No time to play today, but I did plug that baby in and run the platform through it to make sure the motor works.

I am heading to see my mom this weekend and there is an LSS in her town, so I told her I am going to stop there before I come over. She always has new product so I am excited to go and pick up a few things and try to get her to confirm a crop in July when we come to town for CKC. I am also scanning photos to send over to Walmart to reprint for scrapping this year. Here is one of them - my son and I at a Civil War event around 1994. I love this picture! such a sweet photo

Today I decided to join my son briefly with a live action role play group he belongs to. They were having what they call an Arts and Sciences competition. I was going to enter a piece of garb that I never got around to making so I decided to enter a scrapbook. I took about 20 layouts from various books and put them into one scrapbook. All the pages are of the larp group.
I left before the 'judging' but some people were so excited to see old photos of themselves when they first started playing. So this is kind of scrappy randomness. Waiting for my son to bring the scrapbook back home. Hope it was enjoyed even more after I left!

I've been working a lot of hours and haven't scrapped lately (had to choose sleep instead. Boo!)
I have a bunch of photos on my desk from the last visit to a museum I took the kids on, and a paper pad that I'm going to work from. I pulled the enamel dots that match it pretty well, plus some chipboard arrows.
I'm hoping to fuss with it a little today, in between laundry.

I've been gone for 8 days, so I am anxious to get to my scrappy place! I have a FJ box sitting here unopened. I'm going to do the 90 loads of laundry and scrapbook as soon as I finish catching up here and take a shower. OMG, I just realized that I mainly scrap/stamp/craft when I am in the basement waiting for the laundry. Well that settles it, I'm just gonna have to start taking in laundry so I can get more scrapping time!

Went to the Philadelphia Flower Show for the first time this week (thanks DD) and I have soooo many gorgeous pics to scrap. The theme was Holland and the blue tulips were stunning! I could make an entire album of just the flower photos I have taken over the years.

I have a lot of problem finishing projects like albums. I love options, but it seems the closer I am to completion of the project the more limited my options are. So many of my albums have page protectors empty on one side and a sticky listing the titles that could go in there.
Last week, I went to put a couple of pages into my dgs's album from last year, and realized that there were several gaps in that book. And since they will probably be moving this summer, I want to give them that book, so I have been working on completing it. One page I just had to add photos to, and so far I have finished three of the missing 2-page LO's.
Two more facing pages to go--unless I get a bright idea to add "just one more...".

Sometimes I just place a pretty, coordinating paper in the empty spot and call it good.

I'm getting ready to go do laundry now. You know we'll see a whole bunch of laundry layouts in the gallery in the next few weeks, all because grammadee is enabling! ha. nicolep, I love your invitation and envelopes and your toppers. So cute.

I didn't know scrapbooking could be dangerous!
The other day I went to open my fiskar cutter to rearrange my paper. As I opened the paper guide the orange cutter part was right under my thumb and POKE - right in. I just thought "dumba@$" to/about myself and went on until the red drop went onto my background pp.

I keep Band-Aids in my scrapbook case. It never fails on my retreat someone needs one.
I am sure we've all cut or poked ourselves!

Ouch, LisaDV! I can't believe that a clutz like me doesn't get MORE sb related injuries. Have never cut myself with a big cutter, but have lots of bloody interaction with my paper piercer and my Xacto knife!

I dropped my x-acto knife to the floor the other day, but it was only a near miss, thank goodness. I was scrapping in my socks and it came down next to my pinkie toe. Wishing you a speedy recovery LisaDV !
