Yesterday I went through my boxes of embellishments that are sorted by color. I threw away anything I haven't managed to use in the years since I created the boxes. It was very liberating! Now what's in the boxes is far more likely to be used.

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 love the PL app, never got into it with the physical kits, but the app is so easy! I think going forward I won't buy prints, I will do all my newer photos in the app unless there is a special photo I want to paper scrap. So many of my photos are just everyday moments that work well with PL. And then use up my stash on the bajillion photos I have printed lol

My son is moving into a room that was, in a previous life, my scrapbook room and also the place I stored all my living history clothes. He wanted my stuff out of the closet and there is no place to hang it just yet, so it is all thrown in my bedroom and there are tons of costumes I have not seen for decades!
So any efforts I might make to organize any scrapbook stuff at all this week until he clears out his closet is buried underneath all those clothes. However I do have a crop this weekend and hopefully have what I need already pulled.
Also DH is going with DS1 and fiancée to visit some Civil War battlefields today and I will try to get any photos printed quickly and pull some paper to scrap them. I like to keep up with current photos so I don't fall behind while working on other projects. It's a whole lot easier for me to scrap one event or a few more recent photos than to stack them up and hope to get to them!

I have lots of ideas but when I go to my craft desk, I shuffle stuff around and don't do anything. I need a kick up the jacksie, seriously!

These kids just keep growing. Just got back my DDs first round of senior pictures last night. Man, she’s not a baby anymore!
I keep pinning scrapbook ideas on Pinterest. I’m in my mental planning stage for all the crops I go to in the fall. Trying to figure out how to prioritize. Senior year is coming up so I should probably work on school stuff... this one is going to be hard because she’s the baby. I handled it pretty well 2 years ago with DS, but this will be different

I've finished DD11's baby album (First year album) finally - it really just needed the last few monthly calender pages and a couple of actual layouts. So today I'm scanning it - all three volumes worth...and the darn cat keeps sitting on the scanner so the process goes like this - lift cat off scanner, open scanner and put in page, close scanner, scan, lift cat BACK off scanner, open scanner, remove page and put back in album, life cat BACK off scanner, put new page in...she's getting pissed and I'm not super happy with her either
11 pages scanned so far and I've moved the darn cat over two dozen times already...

Ugh! I smudged my Nuvo drops.
Now I'm trying to decide whether to cut out and replace that section of the border or slap something on top of my goof. I'll have lots of time to think about it while it dries.

stinkerbelle, it's right near the edge of the page, so it's workable. I think I'm going to sick a bunch of stars all over the page and call it done. Linda , your cat is cracking me up. I remember our cat, when I was growing up, kept mostly to herself until after the dog died. Then she finally felt free to claim the house and the people in it as her own. She would always sit wherever my mother was busy, in the middle of all her paperwork, her jigjaw puzzle, her card game, ... After so many years of avoiding the dog, she loved finally having free rein (or free reign, in her case! ) and getting all the attention.

msliz - we have six cats and this one is the only female and the smallest by far but she's very sure she's in charge - she cracks me up. I'm still scanning - and I've realised, my scrapbook style has stayed pretty consistent over the years - I've changed products but the layouts I did to fill in the gaps in this album 'fit' and I'm still loving the older layouts which were mostly done in 2007-2008 I think.

and 79 pages into scanning, I found two page protectors of loose photos in the album (volume 2) ...time to take a scanning break and get those scrapped.

This weekend we went on a Jeep tour through the Rocky Mountain National Park. I kept thinking we had better see some wildlife since I have camping/outdoor paper for days. On our last stop, our guide took us through some trees into a meadow. A 14 point elk was munching on some trees and a big moose was lying in the meadow just enjoying the breeze. Mission accomplished.

I get it! I was so happy when DS rented a camper and took his family camping. I can use the camping/outdoor stuff I have accumulated. I don't know WHY I accumulated it, LOL. Personally, if there is not valet, I am not going!
