The Way It Is

Looking around my scraproom, I see the sign of times to come! I have three unfinished layouts sitting in front of me. Each one just needs a little something. All ideas that are in my brain. I just can't get to it now that work is back in my life. And I have to accept that it is okay! Life is about priorities now. School, family, kids, work, scrap. I will still do plenty of it. But I will also have nights where I can't fit it in.

"I'll be okay with it, really." (What, I am not trying to convince myself of anything!)

Here is a recent layout I finished. You know before life went and got all real again! This one came together quickly! I love the Do Not Disturb sign from OA and knew immediately that I had to use it on a page about my dear Ella.

See, she talks constantly, loudly, endlessly. Sometimes, only sometimes, I wish there was an off button or I wish I had an IPOD!


Supplies: All from the August The Nook kit--Paper and all goodies from October Afternoon, Alphabet: American Crafts Nutmeg

Journaling: 99% of the time, we love listening to your cute, little voice. BUT, sometimes the constant singing, asking and chanting add up! How about playing the quiet game for a second.

Hope she doesn't get mad at me someday. But I had to make it! LOL!

Make sure you head over to the September issue of ScrapStreet.com Magazine. Wow! I was blown away!

And, check out the September kit from My Scrapbook Nook.




Are you just in awe! I will find time, I will find time!

  9. I'm in the same boat!! I always get the itch to scrap during but it has to wait 'til later that evening, if I'm not too tired. I'm sure we'll adjust but now without a couple of scrappy withdrawals along the way. LOL!

    The lo you created is fabulous!!! I so love that line of OA, you totally rocked it!!

  13. Yup I am with you on that, tonight I just could not get in the mood, Today was super busy and after the kids went to bed I just wanted to curl up with a cup of tea and watch a good chick flick. Love that layout, I do have a weak spot for OA, though.
