I used to be a scrapper?? Cause its been a lonnnggggggg time since I have had the time or energy to haul my stuff out and get to work. I don't ever want it to seem like a chore so I haven't made much of an effort lately. Sometimes figuring out what to have for dinner is a chore! The great news is that the fun scrapper girl inside me came out for a short time on Friday night. I canceled my dinner plans because I wanted nothing more than to just sit at home and chill. Relax and maybe get some layouts done with all the pictures I have from events over the summer. ( I actually spent some time last week printing out pictures at home and picking papers to go with them. I find that I can get like 10 sets of pictures paired with papers so that they're ready when I find some time or motivation to scrap.) Thats as far as I had gotten in over 5 weeks until Friday night. I started several layouts but then ran out of my favorite adhesives. Dang it!!!!! I also realized that my Bazzill supply was running very low and that I am out of many colors so I ordered from Wendy at Scrap Supply last week and should be getting my package any day now. Stay tuned and maybe I will have several Layouts posted by the end of the week!
I also have two layouts to work on for the Circle Journal I am in. Topics are....."Who inspires you?" and "The song remembers when...". I have a lot to think about before working on these! I should have my own CJ back within 2-3 months. I can't wait!!! Its been fun but I really, really miss Nicole being part of the group. I know why it was hard for you to continue, Nic, I am just glad we are still friends :) I know you are busy with student teaching and starting your family, but I sure miss seeing your awesome layouts. I am glad that you are getting so good with photography though! **I am also so glad that I have gotten to be friends with Hillary and Lindsay too** I never really thought that I would make friends online, but I have made so many, including many of you!
Wow, this post has gone off in a different direction than originally intended! Well, now that I have gotten this far, I just want to thank all for you for visiting and caring :)
I will be posting some scrapbook layouts again soon, I promise!
Any time I start to feel like it's work, I back away. We do this for fun, ya know?? And Sometimes it can def. feel like work. BUt glad you're getting you're mojo back.

Aww thanks! I know what you mean about "when I used to be a scrapper" LOL. I haven't scrapped in FOREVER. And when I do, its sporadically and usually forced- no great ideas flow from this mind lately. Oh well... hopefully I'll get into the swing of things soon. Maybe... LOL

Hey I know exactly what you mean with the scrapping. Gotta be in a certain mood to get going. I made a scrapbook for my best friends 25th bday. It's all I've done so far but I enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes you just need to take a break from things to realise just how much you missed it! Keep up the good work!
