Why Cant I scrap

I've got my photos all in their places all my blogs have good journaling in them, my memoribale is all in its place, then why cant I get in there and put a page together why cant I scrap, what is wrong with me I know I have not lost my mojo I know I can do it what is the problem, I know I can I know I can, what is the problem, I really want to put my books together and have a wonderful library so what is stopping me, I have not put together a page that I fell in love with in almost two years, I still love this hobby, I'm still buying cute little things that I just had to have I have a room all to myself I even gave a crop, I must dig down deep and find out what is wrong it must be something inside my head, some kind of fear that I must get in touch with something that is stopping me from creating in the hobby that I once loved so dearly. I must find out what is wrong before I lose it all.

Ahsleys new room

I redid my Ashley's room and we love love it she chose her colors while we were walking around Walmart and once that was done we took the ball and ran with it. got her a brand new bed sheets pillows chairs rugs curtains the whole nine it was a whole new room when we got don't done and she loves it there was a time she would not stay in her room and she would not keep it clean. but now it's just a happy place every time I walk by the door it makes my eyes happy, there are no clothes on the floor no shoes under the bed, when you open the closet door things are not falling out on your head it is just a happy place to be, I can now go in there and sit down in her chairs and talk to her without feeling like I just have to get out of here I'm happy she loves her little happy place there is still a few more things we have to do little things but overall its her own little corner of the world where she can go and clear her head and make her eyes happy.

starting a new system


I'm ready, the pictures have been filed and I sit here just looking afraid to start for fear of doing something wrong it all looks so nice and I can find any picture I need for any project but it all looks just to easy, I did have a crop yesterday and I did do one layout (I will post it soon) and I am really proud of it I have three different pictures from three different times and I love it, this way of scrapping is going to take some time getting use to but I know I can do it I'm waiting for my new albums I had my lss order for me once they get here I can start putting my layouts in them this should really be good I have enough layouts here to do about 3 full books I will have to order some more when I can. well wish me luck, I have some swaps to finish and then I am full force into my new system.

FINALLY

o.k I think I finally finished putting all the pictures I have in some kind of order I still have a few things I have to do like triage some more photos and a few other things but you know I feel good I mean really good, now I have still have to read the rest of the book and follow the rest of the steps or should I say rearrange them to suit my way of scrapping but I think I have this thing down I am a little afraid to start because I'm really not 100% sure on everything I know I know I'm just suppose to scrap and have fun doing it it all just looks a little too easy. and I dont want to mess up I think I really put it to work at my crop next weekend yes that will be the true test that will tell if I finally have it. so wish me luck and sooner or later I will get in my scrap room and just let go.

Still working

O.K I'm still working on my photos and really feeling good about it this book is something I really needed and didn't even know it. just like Stacy says this is not an overnight or a weekend thing you have to spend some time putting the system to work for you but like I said before I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I cant wait to get there, I am planning a scrap for the weekend of April 5Th and I want to have enough of this system in place so I will know what I am doing when I sit down at that table I want to turn out meaningful pages to go in my books without having to spend hours and hours on finding all the things I need just to get started. O.K must go back to the book. talk to you later.

A hole new world


I have started reading a new book by Stacy Julian that is opening a whole new scrapbook world to me and I am overjoyed, Its a lot of work but I know I can get throu this the more I work at it and follow her advice the more I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am in the process of rearranging my photos to suit my style and it is very uplifting I am seeing pictures that I have forgot I had ones that I wanted to scrap at one time or another but just couldnt or wouldnt go look for because it was just to much, with Stacy's system I know now I can go right to what is on my mind at that moment and find it right away. I love love this system, well gotta go now still have a lot of work to do with these picture and I know it will be worth every minuet I spend on them.

Noooooooooooooo

Its a sad day in my book just as I was enjoying myself in my scrapbook someone put a stop to it all, I am happy and sad at the same time, my scrapbook store that I have come to know and love is changing and I cant do anything about it, Summer who as come to be one of my closest and dearest friends is going to have a baby, Oh no let me correct Summer is going to have 3 babies, triplets I am so happy for her, when she called me with the news I almost dropped to the floor we were just talking not to long ago about our friends and babies and how everyone is just about finished with the baby thing and along she comes with the phone call wow I didn't see that one coming. but on top of that she is not going to be able to run the scrapbook store with three babies it would just be to hard I know that, but the scrapbook life that I loved is slowly slipping away, it just wont be the same, she is going to sell out to another girl and that will be it for me I will have to go back to qvc and online shopping and I will miss the scrapping times we had together. but that is life and I do understand that's just the way things go. you know what they say when God closes one door he opens a window I just have to find out where my window is and when I do. boy oh boy I will be ready.
