I did some great progress in March on my scraprooms. Still having issues with my stamps and finding themes for them all. But working here and there on them. Dies are still needing work too. Testing a new system or tweek to old system.
Going to an impromtu crop next Saturday. Free crop just bring a pot luck item. It's 2 hrs away from 9am - 7pm driving with a friend. Should be fun. Then my retreat is national scrapbook day weekend.
Production wise well I made a coupke cards last night. Sorry I finished one trying to make a baby shower card. So out of my realm. I'm making it for my boss to give so little pressure. Lol.
Have my monthly art journal class today. We are making our own foam stamps today. Will miss next month's class because of retreat though.
My lss is having a hard time getting in the CHA stuff. So my pre orders of oxide inks and TH dies are not in yet. Maybe surprised today and they are there.
Found out last month if you buy stuff during your class you get 15percent off doesn't matter if it's class related or not. So might look today for a little treat.
That's about it for now I think

Oh I forgot I did play around with some techniques. I played more with my brusho's and tried the stamping technique Jen mcguire showed with perfect pearls.
Oh I also have a gathering at a friend's house easter monday for a scrapping day.

I am on the hunt for a Jolies bowling sticker I picked up awhile ago on a free table because my son gave me two pictures of a bowling outing he took the kids on at work. So I started 'cleaning' my dining room table where I have been piling stuff for months. No bowling sticker yet.
In the mean time I have been pulling more and more things that will work for my living history photos project so I need to organize them into bigger bins. It will be hard to transport them to crops but it must be done. This is when a wagon would come in handy but I'll just make 2 trips I guess!

Costco sells the garden wagon. Apparently it isn't that expensive and folds up pretty compact

At my crafty get together yesterday, 6 of the 7 of us have the Costco/Sam's Club/Amazon wagons. They are the best!

I cleaned up a couple partially finished projects today, including a layout I started in 2015 . That is SO not like me. It was in a pile of random stuff, because I somehow didn't print enough copies of the photos. I made 3 layouts, one for each grandchild and one for me. I finally printed another set and finished the layout. Whew!

Finished my March pages in my PL/pocket page album, and have some pics printed from this weekend to start April. Now if I could only get started on my 2007 Ireland trip book. Maybe this summer when I am off from school.....

Sam's Club has that wagon too...I think it's around $49.
Saturday I visited a few of my favorite LSS stores as part of the Northwest Paperchase. I had hit up three stores I. The Paperchase last month and really wasn't expecting to find a lot on Saturday. But, I made out like a bandit!
I have a four day crop April 20-23. Need to get prepping for that. I normally make a ton of page kits and then still bring everything and the kitchen sink. This time I think I am going to focus on two specific projects (Disney and Hawaii) and limit what I bring.

I sat down on Saturday to figure out which pictures I would print for my March project life layout. I was thinking I would need several filler cards. I have 25 pictures for that month. I think I'm good. (I do a 2 page spread of Design A for each month, but I fuse the pockets so all pockets are 3x4 size, so 24 spots. Well, 23 as one is the month/title card)

Used a 40% coupon at M's today. I picked up some Fabre Castelle "super fine" writing pens in blues and greens. Also printed the photos the kids have sent me in the past week. And the pics I need to finish the page on my scrap counter.

Morning Peas. I have made 2 kits (for april byok challenge) and 3 pages done so far this month. Not too shabby. The rest of the week doesn't look well for much creative time but maybe I can squeeze 5 here or there. It is the week before spring break so of course there is a program, Science Fair, 2 bday parties, and an Easter Party not to mention Scouts and BMX lol. SHEW.I will need all of break to recover!
I have a 3 day crop the last weekend of this month so I have been kitting up a storm. I usually get about 35 or so pages done those days Friday 12-Sunday about 2/3 since I have to cut this one short for bridging. So if i get 30 done this time I will be happy.

Oh my just got back from value village. Scrappy treasure find. I paid $15 (which yes is high for a thrift store find)but I got a stamp binder with 8 pages full of paper trey ink stamps. I figure there is about $75 (just counted the sets, there's $110) worth of stamps in there. So excited. Love pti

I had a small scare. I've been trying to clean up my digital files, and I couldn't find the scans of the photos from my childhood. After a whole lot of searching, I found the folder on my backup drive and made lots of copies to store in other places. I'm still missing a stack of my originals, but I think I may have accidentally brought them back to my mother's house when I was returning other photos I borrowed from her. I will be organized one day. Probably not anytime soon, but one day.

I am using a vacation day from work to stay home and scrapbook. I really should feel guilty but I just don't. The way it is at my job right now, I really needed a "therapy" (scrapbook) day!! I'm enjoying every minute of it!!

Well this is the second this week that DH's sleep mask shifted and I got up at 430am. About an hr before I had to. Least it is Friday. Tomorrow to go to crop tomorrow I have to get up at 6am so tonites nap is out when I get home from work. Have to stop at grocery on way home to get stuff for potluck. And then I have to pack. I'm tired this week. So definitely cannot sit when I get in. I at least know what I want to take with me tomorrow so just check it off list

scrappington, I'll be stumbling sleepless through my day too, but it's my own fault. I was up reading until close to 2am knowing I had to be up at 6. Have a great time at your crop this weekend - I can't wait to hear about it!

I've managed to do 2 pages so far this month. Working on my bash it kit, and that is almost done. Had a computer issue and thought I lost all my pics, but luckily they were all there I'm pretty much free all weekend to scrap but I am so stressed out I don't know if I will have the mojo. All I can do is try, right?

Finally got my stuff together last night and my potluck made. I really dragged my heals and was so bagged. I got up at 5 30 this morning. Guess it's better than 4 30. I got a better sleep though so I'm hoping I stay purkey today. Long drive each way but at least wil have company. My packing job is a bit out there. But it's small. Off to shower grab some embossing powder I forgot to add and off to my friends. Hope you all get scrappy this weekend.

I'm envious of those of you going to crops, but honestly I have some locally I don't attend because I don't know anyone and I'm shy. Plus, I don't like spending my scrappy budget on crop time when I can do it free in my own space! Next weekend, my SIL is coming and we will scrap together! Happy Dance! I am pulling together my DIY kit and bash-kit today. I'm late, but this month is craycray here with dance competitions and singing competitions and Easter so I'm sure my scrappy time will be limited. It's all good stuff and I'm happy to have it happen however! Scrappy wise...my DD (13) is using my supplies for her own craftiness and I'm both happy and annoyed. She doesn't scrap but she sure does art. She used up a whole bottle of my Heidi Swapp "tinsel" colour mist on a huge project board for school, and she is using my stencil brushes and inks all the time now. I have to remind myself to share

Looks like I've totally given up on organizing embellishments. Dumped everything out of iris drawers into giant box, took stickers of top of table and put in drawers. I know, crazy. But I did get some stuff together for church garage sale. Don't know where to go from here.

A store with a tiny section of old scrapbook stuff is going out of business in my town. I bought the Becky Higgins Project Life Midnight Kit at 40% off!

I have to remind myself to share My 15 year old dd who is obsessed with comic con and cos play asked for a empty 12x12 album today. She wants to make a special album, but you're nicer than me. She has to ask before using anything. Scrap stuff is my 1 thing that I am very territorial about!

But I did get some stuff together for church garage sale. Don't know where to go from here. Can you stand them up and organize them enough to find what you need? Use this or maybe a smaller box (or two) so things don't slide down? A few few years ago, I covered a box like that with pp, and used it for all my go-to tools. It used to sit on top of a rolly set of drawers like yours. When I did the reno, I put the whle thing into a drawer, and I can pull it out and add a few things like punches to take to crops.
