I’m going to do this quickly tonight because I have a webinar for Masterful Scrapbook Design in 45 minutes. If you’re taking the class, I hope you come to chat with us. If you’re not, you should be :).
Since I’d printed my photos and planned everything I was able to wake up today and get right to work. I did one page and have the next two planned as well. Though I’ve found out that I have a batch of product coming tomorrow so I am guessing Thursday morning will be back to doing CHA samples. And then more product comes towards the end of the week, and finally another batch next week. Phew. It’s all ok though, I love working with these products and I am a truly lucky gal. Wouldn’t whine for a minute.
Today was a bit wonky cause I had to go to the jaw doctor again and then Jake had a childhood friend in town and Nathaniel decided not to nap on time. So we ate lunch together and it was oatmeal. I think he is a fan.
David gave me a nice smile today. Love this.
I’m always amazed at how Nathaniel has a thin layer of grime on his face at all times. No matter how many times I clean it.
But he is so very cute.
Lots of work today. Did the developer release and a bunch of triage and now I have the webinar. Then it’s time to paint my portrait and do some more drawing. You’ll get more detail tomorrow but my classes have all begun and with lots of homework so I am trying to do a little bit each night. Once all the CHA work is done, I’ll distribute to night and morning. So off to get ready!
I hope you’re well and if you have a moment, come say hi and let me know what you’re doing and what’s inspiring you. I need some new inspiration in my life. I’ve almost stopped reading all my feeds because it’s all feeling like same old same old lately.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I have so much fun and new product coming my way. it’s always fun to play with scrappy goods.
2. I am again grateful for all the classes I’m taking. They are each inspiring me deeply and pushing my boundaries and stretching me.
3. I am grateful that despite the cold outside, it’s nice and warm in here. I used to live in a house with a terrible draft and I never take the warmness and wonderful heat for granted.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that we played a balloon game in PE {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I got to play didj
3. I am grateful that I looked through my lego magazine
Hi Karen,
I haven’t been reading scrapbook-like blogs for awhile. I obviously still follow yours (and Cathy Z and Amy S). It was on Amy’s blog a few months ago that I was inspired by her patchwork quilts. I checked out a few different quilting and sewing blogs (I’m not a sewer of clothes and my sewing machine was only used for hemming and mending). That in a round-about way has inspired me to do more scrapbook pages in the last 3 months than I did in the whole year prior to that. Fabric is inspiring. Many wonderful creative ladies (and some guys) share their great ideas and so freely. I appreciate it. I’ve even started patchwork quilting. I did a patchwork beginners class locally and I can proudly say I’ve completed 3 quilts already. So that’s where I found my inspiration. BTW it feels really good to learn something new too.
i so wish i could quilt. no patience i think. and don’t know how either :)so which sewing/quilting blogs do you read? I would love to find some!
Greetings, I just spent a month in USA and love Micheals and wal-mart.
Just popping in here to say hello and to catch up on all your news and happenings.
Hi! I am like you and am searching for new sources of inspiration. I was reading through Ali Edwards’ archives the other day and discovered fabric paper. Its all on sale now at scrapbook.com so I am waiting impatiently for my order to come so that I can play! I love using bits and pieces of pattern paper in my LOs and love having different textures in my pages so I think this is going to be so cool! =) I also am loving the OLW class and have been working on my album, which, like you, is different from what everyone else is doing (but still using the prompts). My next step is to make some envelops and some pocket pages for that album to tuck in some e-mails and writings that pertain to my word. Loving it!
did you finish the album? i’d love to see it!!
Hi Karen,
For the first time I have picked One Little Word for the year – authentic. When I read your description on Write Click Scrapbook of your class, I knew I had to sign up. (And just signed up for your free class too after reading the blog post above.) Just to let you know the significance of this, I am currently doing Ali’s Yesterday and Today which is my first ever class. So yours are going to be numbers 2 and 3! 🙂
I’m going through some old scrapbook magazines at the moment, pulling out the pages that inspire and throwing out the rest. It’s interesting to compare what inspires me now to the pages I had marked previously. Some are the same, some are different. Sometimes it’s the same layouts but for totally different reasons. Regardless, it will be nice to get rid of the huge pile of magazines!
I am really honored thank you! I will work hard not to disappoint you!! I do the very same thing btw. tear pages and get rid of magazines! I find that i am more likely to actually look at the pages this way too.
