I'm working on DD11's baby album...which I apparently never finished...oops. She was such a happy, round, rolly-polly pudge of a baby...I think I knew even then, she would be my last and I tried hard to treasure every moment (I had always hoped for more but other than an early mc/ when she was 2, I wasn't able to get pregnant again).
She starts 6th grade on Monday - she's still a sweet, happy, sensitive child but she's growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday I was sending her off to Kindergarten...
I am glad that I took notes on calender pages when she was a baby though - those notes are proving helpful as I finish up this album  It's amazing how much you forget. |

We're headed to Estes Park in a little bit. Excited for some new pictures to scrap. I have a lot of nature paper and need to use some of it.

I am glad that I took notes on calender pages when she was a baby I so wish I had done something like this. I have extensive e-mails written to an e-mail group (hey, 19 years ago was pre-facebook, pre-boards!) about DS #1 and #2 and what they were up to, but those e-mails are no longer easily accessible  Randomness - it's sunny this weekend which means less scrappy play for me - gotta get outside and enjoy summer while it's here. aka the garden needs some help... |

I keep telling the kids to document with actual words those photos and vids they are taking with their cell-cameras. I can't bring my self to call them phones … "can you hear me now?".

Today was a nice, rainy day! It was awesome being "stuck" in the house. I only got 1 page done, but I didn't sleep well last night, so it took me some time to wake up, and feel creative. It was nice sitting in the house listening to the rain, though!

I have a big pile of ephemera from our 4 day trip to San Diego to stick into my black page journal. I'm trying to be loose and casual with it - not worrying about making it Geralyn Sy perfect (she's my unattainable model for travel stuff). I'm not even trying to make it a trip scrapbook - no printing photos. It's meant to just be a place to stick down all those bits & pieces we paper-folk collect even if we're not trying, and I can add some handwritten notes and doodles in the gaps between. I'm going to be brave and chop things up - I have a bad habit of liking the design of flyers too much and not wanting to ruin them by cutting them up, but then later I wonder why I have this massive stack of useless paper.
Wish me luck with the chopping!
ETA:: hopefully we get some of that rain that other people have had. We need it so badly!

After an unseasonably mild day yesterday it's cold and wet today and I plan on spending the day playing with paper (which in reality probably means spending half my day online...).

It’s supposed to be a cooler (low 70s) and rainy weekend here. I expect lots of scrapping time. I put together a layout this afternoon but haven’t figured out points for it yet.

It is too stinking hot and humid here and my office is too warm! I can't bring myself to lower the temp on our A/C, the cost is too prohibitive, but the warm air is hampering my crafty mojo. August and September in Florida are miserable!
I also need to print photos from June and July. We took a vacation in July and I have a ton of photos to finish editing before sending them off to the printer. Maybe I'll park myself in front of Netflix this weekend and get to work!

I think my mojo is off cavorting with stinkerbelle's somewhere! I'm trying to do DT LOs with AmyT Shine On and just not loving it at all. There's not enough embellishments when you're trying to stick to just using that collection. |

My mojo is sooo gone. I haven't scrapped at all. I sit down to work on something and there's just....nothing. I'm going to wrestle it to the ground and force it play this weekend  |

Linda Thanks for starting a new thread. I love these random scrappy conversations! I am whining because I don't think I'll get any time in my happy place this weekend. DH's sister is here from TX, so we'll spend most of our time with her. Plus, I have to clean a few things around here.

I have a bad habit of liking the design of flyers too much and not wanting to ruin them by cutting them up, but then later I wonder why I have this massive stack of useless paper. I don't have a stack. I have 20 stacks. My worst culprit is show programmes - memory...bulky...ditch or use already! Chop chop chop! I'm sure you'll be so happy with the memory you create! I'm off to Toronto to buy pointe shoes. This is why I have $0 in my scrappy budget... thinking we might stop at the beach for a quick swim en route. DD just got home from a week with her Nana yesterday. She was on the West Coast, and now is going to suffer a bit of jet lag because she enjoyed staying up late there, but it's 3 hours earlier here, and she's gonna feel rotten today! But she's the one who needs the pointe shoes, so I'm going to rouse her! |

I'm stuck. I lost my craft table again to DD15 and her paints. I want to do some heat embossing on some stamps for a layout, but the house is still sleeping and I can't make noise. And it's too dark and rainy to photograph the pages I finished yesterday. I might do a little online shopping ... heeheehee  |

Starting on Monday it’s a week long mini Layout A Day challenge over at Scrap Happy. I’m hoping to use it to get my scrappy mojo going. I’ve mostly been making cards this summer, but I want to get moving on my summer pics.

I want to scrap this weekend but don't know if I'll have the time. My 87-year-old Dad fell and has a blood clot in his leg. Between getting him to the hospital and his doctors I haven't had much time to do anything this month. Right now I'm doing laundry and paying bills, it's raining outside so no outdoor work this weekend. <<Sigh>>

Im in a creative funk. The youngest starts his senior year on Wednesday and the oldest moves to college in one week. All I want to do is watch movies and avoid life.

I managed to finish September 2016 PL spread, now it’s on to October! I’m trying to crack open an unused kit and just get stuff on a page to get caught up.

My scrappy randomness is this; I never scrapbooked in the past. I started doing Project Life in the App and that’s all I used. This month I started app digital scrapping with Over, PL, and a Design Kit. I’m now obsessed with it and I’m having so much fun!!

I have been on this board 3½ years and have only 542 (543 now) posts, and that makes me a "Chatterbox"?

Tomorrow is my day!!! I cleaned my whole house today...while DH napped...ugh! I did five loads of laundry. I took a dog to the vet.
Tomorrow DH is off to the NASCAR race which means he'll be gone all day!!! I'll have the TV to myself and no one to interrupt me.
Truth is I haven't scrap booked since February. My mojo has been gone. And I have product piling up which makes me twitchy. Too much stuff overwhelms me. I am planning to hit church at 10:30, drop DS off with his girlfriend, DD will be at work, and I will get to do whatever I want. I may just make page kits and sort photos but I'm hoping it gets the juices flowing again.

PSA: When you dump out the big jar of flowers in order to find just the right ones, turn off the room fan first.  |

Just returned form a weekend crop and managed to get 22 pages of my USA trip scrapped!
One happy camper here!
Went with a friend but didn’t know anyone else so conversations somewhat limited but met some lovely people
Lovely!

I’m participating in an online scrap party this weekend. I came down with a cold yesterday and got a grand total of one layout done. Today, ive got to drive half the day to meet up with my parents so they can watch my daughter for a week. I go back to school on Tuesday. Stupid cold is sucking all my scrappy energy on the last days of summer vacation! I tried some DayQuil. All I’m gonna say to that is “nondrowsy my big fat butt!”

I want to scrap, but just have so much on my to-do list that I feel overwhelmed.
And, a new aspect of my job is sucking down my creative energy. The good news is that I'm good at it and more importantly, my bosses are very happy with my efforts. The bad news is that it is a mojo drainer, and by the time I have a day off, I'm sapped.
