You probably guessed right, I'm scrapping! I'm a month past back surgery and I'll have some free time tomorrow ALL TO MYSELF! It's been hard to accept I need help with my special needs son, but he'll be in good hands tomorrow while the rest of the family goes to a lake and hiking. I'm much better post surgery but have to be very careful with lifting and bending. I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE he sleeps well tonight. I also hope to use vinyl on 2 t-shirts (never tried it). Anyone else scrapping tomorrow or has a hard time getting started? I'd do better if I had my own room.  |

I planned on scrapping a little tonight and some tomorrow too. Going on an early hike in the morning with my kids before it gets too hot. I'm doing a little organizing now in prep for scrapping.

Have family here this weekend, so won't be scrapping until at least Sunday evening.
I know what you mean about it being hard to get started. I find if I find a sketch, pull out the photos and papers I want to play with and lay it all out on the counter the night before, I wake up inspired and ready to play. If I wait til the next morning, by the time I get organized Mojo has fled...

Hope you have a productive and fun day! Moms of special needs kids need breaks for sure!!
I hope to scrap at some point this weekend.
I was supposed to last saturday but my hubby literally gave me a migraine so I didn't go to my crop.

My husband and sons left for a mini family reunion in Nebraska this morning. So sad I will be staying home to watch my dogs.  I'm also avoiding Nebraska in July, humidity and 1,000 mosquito bites. I also won't have to cook or do anything I don't want to do . My scrappy friend is coming over at 10:30 tomorrow and we are going to get some pages done! I have a goal of getting 50 double paged layouts finished in July and August. So far I have 20. |

Anyone else scrapping tomorrow or has a hard time getting started? I hope you have a relaxing and productive day! Hopefully I'll be getting some scraping in. This past week I've scrapped a lot (about 20 pages), and I want to keep on going. What helps me when I have a hard time going is to pick out a few embellishments that I want to use because I love them so much, and to just jump off from there. Grab photos, grab paper, and put those embellishments on the page. |

Change Nebraska to Indiana and this will be me! DH just left for an all day long fishing day with his brother and won't be home until late tonight. I'm sitting on the couch with all three dogs enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. My only plans are to spend the day in my craft room making Christmas cards for the Christmas in July 10 for 10 Christmas exchange. It will be a lovely, quiet and hopefully creative papercrafting day. I'm right where I want to be. Being a caretaker can be stressful and rewarding at the same time. Refugeepea, I hope you have a lovely day. |

I've had something going on every night this week, plus a cold. I need, really NEED, some scrappy time tomorrow. I have some cleaning to do or I'll lose my mind, then it's me time.

Enjoy your day tomorrow refugeepea!
I'm not scrapping tomorrow, but I'm doing the next best thing - scrapbook shopping. My friend and I are driving to a great store about an hour west of here. I'm going to a crop next Saturday, though.

I made one whole page except the title.  I did add more than usual and even attempted an embellishment cluster! I'm not sure why my Sure Cuts A Lot software is not working with my Cricut. It's a Harry Potter theme page and I wanted to use that font. It's more Halloween-ish than Hogwarts, but I worked with what I had. I didn't feel like I was doing too much bending, but I felt achy, so I decided I needed to watch cheesy reruns of Highway to Heaven.  Plus, we are having company tonight which NEVER happens, so I begrudgingly cleaned up my mess. Besides, I needed to get myself some Authentic Mexican food for lunch from a food truck.  |
