iheartpaper, I'm so glad you had your surgery. I hope you are healing quickly. I know it's frustrating to be so limited. Hugs.

I just got off the phone with UPS to figure out what happened to my WITL package and now they can't find it and now they want me to contact AE customer service (already done) and have them open up an inquiry. I know that AE has good service but some of the stuff that I ordered is out of stock now and that sucks! I totally get that its a first world problem but this makes me so sad.

I mean, you wouldn't have ordered it if you weren't excited about the stuff!! I really think they are silly for not hanging onto a few extras like most companies in the industry do just in case something like this happens. When I get things in the mail and something is missing, I usually panic and immediately contact the business that shorted me...they're always great about handling it, but having to wait to hear back about resolution is stressful, especially when it's something you're so looking forward to. I hope they are able to resolve it quickly for you!!

Yesterday I picked up a free 8x10 at Walgreens I had ordered the night before with a code. It's a few of my kids with the snowman they built. This morning I just remembered that in the $2 bag of miscellaneous stamps I bought at ta thrift store recently, there are 3 or four snowman stamps. Purchase validated! Now even if I never use any of those stamps again, I will feel like I got my money's worth. I will be scrapping that photo soon.

**update on my UPS saga**
So UPS called me back and said definitely my package is lost and I need to contact the sender. Totally felt gut punched but I contacted AE customer service and the first thing theyou had told me was their policy about the 45 days lost. I replied with "I called UPS and they said we don't need to wait the 45 days, they have no idea where it is" the next thing I know I've got a new order # for a new replacement order! Theyou also told me that the one thing that is currently sold out, will be shipped to me when it becomes available 😊
I'm bummed that my original order didn't come in but am super happy with the resolution! I will say it again Ali's customer service is top notch!

I think my kids are trying to kill me today. The house was a mess, leftover from when we had my grand niece and grand nephew in addition to our 3, and I told them before they did anything (after my oldest finished his homework) the downstairs and what they had in my office needed tidying. I'd ask them to take something upstairs, they'd play ON the stairs. I'd ask them to put away crayons, they'd sit and color and play with the pencil sharpener. I'd tell them to pick up trash, they'd open a snack and drop the wrapper on the ground. So, I did what any logical and clear thinking person would do...I ignored them (other than the occasional attempt to get them back on task when I could tell they were getting sidetracked) and finished another PL spread. 2 per month is so not going to catch me up, but with everything going on around us right now, my mood is up and down as are my stress levels...so that means my desire to be creative comes and goes. I LOVE how my title card turned out...and with that page done, it's week 4 in the books and the next page will put me into February. Depending on how things go tonight, I may start that page or I might just settle for popping my most recent photo order (caught up through the 18th) into my album. Most likely, I'll end up vegging on my TV shows because I always have a lot of them on Wednesday...I'm going to be so sad watching the last episode of Bones.
I realized that even though I empty my little Variera bins regularly, I never have enough to spread out in (I will use ephemera from multiple sources during a project, but I try and keep it separated out so that I can put it back in the right package when I'm finished...the only time this doesn't matter is with Elle's Studio since there is a common color theme throughout her product) so our goal last night was to hit up Ikea so I could grab a half dozen of them while we can still afford to spend the $13. I'm hopeful that it will help keep me organized the way I like...those little bins (the ones I'm talking about are $1.99 and come in white, or a 2 pack for $3.99 with a grey and a green...I also have several from when they were $2.99 available in other colors) are just so handy. They aren't inexpensive and I'm sure I could find other things to serve the same purpose, but they have grippy rubber bits on the bottom to keep them from sliding around (great for inside of drawers) and they are really thick and sturdy...they are worth the expense and I love having a few empty ones around at all times.

Well, it's the last day of March.
I haven't scrapped nearly as much as I wanted to, especially in the last half of the month. But I have taken a bunch of photos to work with next month.

Same here, but I am happy I at least got a few pages done. My mojo has been in the toilet lately. Things are looking up though, and I feel less stressed out so I am hoping to be more productive I really need to start taking more photos, I have been slacking there. I did find some older photos of my kids that popped up on fb, so I was tickled that those showed up and I plan on scrapping them this weekend. My ex mil will post photos of the kids sometimes too, and those are great to have as well

I keep telling my husband that if/when I return to work, Ikea is where I want to apply. It almost doesn't matter what job, either. That place just makes me ridiculously happy.
