I'm here too, ladies! I'm about to make a cup of tea and watch a couple of YT videos and then I'll get back to the layout I started last night.
I'm also dealing with bad allergies here. This year I'm trying Allegra and it's helping but I still have to take a shower when I get home. My itchy nose drives me crazy!

crystalb, we need all the pretties!! Elsabelle, sorry you're dealing with allergies too. What youtube videos did you watch? Anything really good? Linda, that's totally an Easter layout! A really pretty one. So glad you documented your Lenten ornaments. They're so cool.

I've pulled out 3 albums that are over half complete. Will start with DD's high school album, so have all photos/memorabilia out as well. Going to work on that some this morning before my facial appointment. I should be very relaxed when I get back to the albums this afternoon!

Elsabelle, sorry you're dealing with allergies too. What youtube videos did you watch? Anything really good. I watched today’s RTS video. It was a cute layout but not a YouTube hop or anything. She’s planning on posting several videos over the weekend. |

Elsabelle ohh what videos? I am needing some noise today. linda I really like the pink/purple together. That is not a color combo I am good at but you smashed it out ofhte park! @**GypsyGirl** sounds like you have a good plan! A facial, sounds lovely! LisaDV did you get going yet? I printed everything, and cut it all out. Working on a layout out now for Bash yourStash on facebook! I also feel a little "off" with the first one. Hoping to pick up speed!

crystalb , see my above comment. I think we were posting at the same time. Last night I watched Mari Clarke's video. It was a challenge and might be a hop. I like her videos. She has such a soothing, calm voice. Ladies, I'm trying to post a pic of a layout from photobucket and it's so big. They've changed the site design and I can't figure out how to resize it? Any suggestions?

**GypsyGirl** , you know how to make the most of a crop weekend. A facial sounds like a lovely break between scrapbooking. Elsabelle , I didn't even think about the YouTubers doing things for iNSD. Maybe I'll check that out later. & Sorry, I'm not help with photobucket. crystalb , I did get going. I just have to put the title on my layout. It's taking forever because I'm still going on and off the internet. Plus I tried to download the freebies you posted and it messed my computer up - not that the site is unsafe, I just have several applications open and several things in each app so I have no RAM left. I closed it out and decided I would do it later after not having so much open. Also, I think I'm going to set a 1 hour timer. I have to create for 1 hour before checking threads.

Good lord, that took forever!  My journaling for this album will be the last step so I just put the white fishtailed paper at the top to show where it will go. |

Elsabelle YAY you got it working. Sorry I am no help with photobucket either. I just followed the directions that DH gave me for FLICKR. I have finished 2 pages and drum roll please....they are BOTH about me!!!! WOOHOO! Got to let the dog out, stretch a bit and then back to it. How is everyone doing? QUESTION FOR CHATTING: When you are creating what are you wearing? Are you rocking "scrapbooking shirts"? (specific shirts in the theme of scrapbooking I see these at Expos and remember them from years past) My favorites are the snarky ones like "Be nice or I will crop you out of the the photos" or "Don't make me punch your eyelets out" etc etc. Or are you like me and the comfier the better? PJS, old ratty T shirt lol etc? Or do you do like my friend and are in jeans/shirt, hair done etc? Discuss!

I would love a scrapbooking tee but I've never actually seen one in person - I guess I could figure out how to make one with my Cricut... I'm wearing my typical everyday clothes - capris, tee-shirt, compression socks, trainers (sneakers) and my hair is partially pulled back (out of my face).

I’m all about comfort! Pajamas, t-shirts, yoga pants, loungewear, etc.
Today I’m wearing exercise clothes because I’m about to work out. 😒 After my shower I’ll be dressed in some comfy clothes for the afternoon.

Elsabelle, beautiful layout! Those colors really pop. OK, so I've been sidetracked by ducks for the last hour. 2 ducks - a male and female showed up yesterday to hang out by our pool. Eventually the dog whined loud enough to scare them away. Today they were back. Then she drank the pool water and then they went for a swim in our pool. That's when I was like, time for them to go. It's not healthy for them or us to have them in the pool. So DS went out to shoo them away. Of course, me & DD who were contemplating getting a kiddie pool to set up in the yard and netting to block off the dogs where both super sad that they had to go. But then I remembered how nasty, dirty ducks are to raise and felt a bit better. I do have my layout which is for Sketchy Saturday finished finally. Hopefully the rest of the day will be more productive. For significant me time scrapping like this crop, I'm about comfort clothing - sweats or yoga pants, tshirt or sweat shirt depending on temps (today is a really comfy sweat shirt).

I am in PJs. After I let the dog out I was like "hmm self why in the world are you DRESSED?!?!" So I put on some comfy PJs and figured out tomorrows PJs too!
I did some shopping over at Scrapbook Generation, picked up some of their kits on awesome sale, I love to support them.
Now back to the grindstone!

I'm almost ready to get down to work! I've got a new laptop stand that might help with some of my neck pain/posture issues. I've got my cozy pants and cozy merino long sleeve top on (I don't have scrap clothes, just lots of at-home comfy cozy clothes). I have a list of what I need to catch up on. It's cloudy, so not much temptation to escape outside. So I just have to decide on whether I can split my focus with an audiobook or if I should cue up some music and then I'm ready to go!

joblackford I vote for music! I love music though. If I start an audiobook I would be too into it. I put on an old show (new to me) and got caught up in it earlier. OOPS! Here are my first two layouts. Very quick unedited shots of them.

crystalb - are those hedgehogs? Awwww! LOVE that paper! Great layout - you're so cute! Good job getting yourself into your albums! Love all the journalling clouds on your Under the Weather layout! I'm done with Easter 2019 now in the family album - still need to do a page for DD18's college album since she snapped a picture or two for me. Not sure why my photos look so dark in the scans...

Glad to see so many scrapping today! I’m getting a late start , had to make an unexpected urgent trip to the vet this morning for one of our cats. He had a blocked bladder and will be okay 🙂
Scrapping attire for me is usually pj pants lol I love funny T-shirt’s but I don’t have any scrappy ones.

Linda, Beautiful layout. I love your eggs! I was trying to do that with my current layout, but they don’t look right, now I see it’s the shadows. The hardest thing for me using digital scrapping is trying to get realistic shadows. Love the floral paper on the other Easter page. So pretty. I love your tomb scene too. DD18 layout – that buny is adorable. Is it an actual scrapbook item or a photo taken from somewhere else? crystalb, sounds awesome to be in pj’s. It’s funny that you were figuring out your outfit for tomorrow, because I was doing the same. We go to see End Game at 9am, so jeans and LS shirt. But then I’m like I should change into that because it’s so comfy.  Both of your “You” layouts are fantastic. So true about the sickness and not really resting and taking care of yourself. I think it’s a mother’s plight. And I love your hair!!! I’m taking that as all natural curl! Beautiful. joblackford, I don’t think I could do an audiobook unless it was one I already read. I can’t do movies or TV unless it’s something I’ve already seen or something I really don’t care much about. It’s cloudy here too and chilly. Did you get a computer stand that has adjustable height. I’m hoping to find one for a desktop computer set up, plus I want it to be able to roll. teacherlisa, organizing is always important! Thanks for cheering us on. dasmith2, poor kitty. Glad he will be okay! Elsabelle, have you finished another layout yet? @calimom2, I hope you are getting into the craft nook and making some pages. Life has been getting in the way a bit for me today. So much so that the next crop, I’ll be removing myself from the house and the other people that live here. I am just about finished with my 2nd double pager. But I have to now take a break and go cook some dinner. Be back later.

@lisasv, a few things have thrown a wrench in my scrappy plans today. DH asked me to pick up a new beach chair for him and then a friend called and was having a very bad and emotional day and wanted me to make her a treat. So I’ll be heading over to her house with strawberry shortcake in a little while. I’m happy to help my friend and save DH a shopping trip and I’ll get back to scrapping in the early evening.
