I finally did a layout - first time in over six months! I really enjoyed working on this one. My daughter is a hairdresser and once a year the company she works for has a contest. This year a coworker made her up like a mermaid. Just the inspiration I needed to get going, again:) that is such an amazing lo your dd is gorgeous

Today I bought some paper to match a sticker sheet that I used half of this weekend. I was at a crop this past weekend and we made a double page layout for a class. I copied much of the layout with the new papers and love it. Used up most of the stickers and now have two sets of fall pages to use.

I have a retreat weekend and an all day crop coming up this month so I will be working on putting kits together. I was unprepared last crop and just kinda crammed a bunch of stuff into my bags. Nicole911 is prepping her kits right now so I am channeling her a bit. It takes me forever to pick out embellishments and pattern paper. Now, it will be all done. Gotta pick out the photos as well. Then there's the Felicity Jane kits to pack up too. So much fun!

I finished organizing my embellishments into binders last night. Now I've moved onto planning my next scrap project and trying out the new Oxide I picked up. I'm eager to get started on it all, but real life is going to intrude for the next week or two and it's frustrating because I have the mojo NOW, darn it.

I'll be making cards from the last 2 Hero Arts kits, and creating some pocket page titles and journaling cards at the same time. I also hope to edit photos from July and August so I can print and scrap our fun-filled summer.
Thanks for the inspiration, everyone!

Well, my current plan is out the window. I'm knee deep into season 2 of Once Upon a Time and they keep ending every episode on a cliffhanger for the premise of the next one. So I got some of my steps for the day (I have been making sure to walk at least 10k steps per day for about 2 months now and always end up behind when we're out running errands on the weekend), watched 2 episodes of my show, came downstairs, pulled up a video from Shimelle's Facebook of a Friday FB Live from a few weeks ago and didn't even get a minute into that and putting away my Gossamer Blue stuff before my family got home. They were gone for barely 2 hours...suffice it to say I'm incredibly disappointed. I had no idea how long they'd be gone, but I expected more than 2 hours, especially because I'm wound really tightly today.
My husband started to tell me about a theft one of his co-worker's experienced and I know I'm going to have a bad day when someone else's struggles put me on edge (I start to irrationally worry about all of the what-ifs that could happen to us and end up with a panic induced adrenaline high that makes me really jumpy, short fused and overly sensitive to noise and activity around me...it is difficult to defuse 'fight or flight mode' when there is nothing actually wrong to use up the built up adrenaline) and I was right...the one errand we ran before stopping for lunch put me well beyond what I could manage. I really needed the quiet to unwind, but I can't do that when they're home...I don't care how quiet they are being, if I know they're here I'm constantly expecting to be needed at any given moment. So I guess I'm not getting anything done today because I can't focus.
My only other option is to continue organizing, which I can manage okay enough with people in the house unless I end up surrounded by huge piles of things. Given that I've managed most of those piles, I'm pretty sure I'm safe. I could start the stamp labeling task I am still putting off, but I don't really want to. I should have scrapbooked while I had the chance...my fault for not asking how long my husband was planning on being gone. Apparently the kids didn't enjoy their adventure to the library because there weren't enough toys, lol.

I also hope to edit photos from July and August so I can print and scrap our fun-filled summer. Thanks for the inspiration, everyone! Good luck! I ordered pictures on Thursday for June 24th or so through last Sunday. I forgot to upload the pictures I copied over from my husband's phone until AFTER I submitted the order, so I have to print those from home, but I'm otherwise pretty caught up. Editing is not an exciting task, but reminiscing certainly is a lot of fun! I hope you get to check off most of what your to do list!

I have repackaged 101 sets of Thickers. I have 81 more to go. Still waiting for Oprah. And I am done. I made color coded tabs to go in the baskets with my Thickers. I used glitter washi tape. Tomorrow I will put the stickers back in color order and be done with that little all day activity. Onto my mini book.

I did three Bible journaling pages and two art journaling spreads while catching up on one of my favorite podcasts. I should have worked on my PL and finished a trip album, but the weather was too nice and we went to the lake today instead!

I managed to complete about 6 PL pages. I still have 2 more to complete to get totally caught up but I will get to them this week.
