Okay, so I have decided to institute “Crafty Tuesdays.” I need to have some sort of accountability in my crafting life. When I have projects for work, I know that I am accountable to my boss and the client. I go to the gym because I am accountable to the scale and being healthy for the girls. (And making my pants fit!) And I do laundry, clean the house, make meals because I must with the family depending on me.<\/p>\n

I figure if I need to have something to post for all of you to see each week, then maybe I will re-prioritize and work on my scrapping again. My intent is to have Addie’s first year scrapbook done by her 2nd birthday.<\/p>\n

There. I have now written it down, and you all have to hold me accountable for getting it done. We have 2 months from yesterday.<\/p>\n

Last night I skipped my usual veg-out session in front of the TV and didn’t even read one blog on my laptop. Instead, I started out getting some of my scrap stuff organized and I even got 3 different layouts done! Plus I realized how much I missed being creative for myself, instead of just for my job.<\/p>\n

I know that I love other “crafty” people’s blogs when they show their work. It is inspiring and great to “lift” some good ideas. So I hope you are inspired a little, too – or at least like looking at sweet pictures of my girls!<\/p>\n

So I’m still playing with the best way to show-off the layouts. I don’t have a large enough scanner to scan them in – and I, of course, took the pics at 11pm last night, not great lighting. So I’ll play with that in the upcoming weeks and see what we can come up with.<\/p>\n

Yes, I didn’t work solely on A.’s book last night either. But the pics of Em and Papa were just calling me, I had to scrap them. And look how tiny and sweet Addie used to be! Ahhh….yeah, it is fun to relive all of our past few years as I print pictures, create layouts and journal the memories.<\/p>\n

I also finished another craft project that I’m so excited about – but I can’t show it to you, yet! It is a birthday gift for my mother-in-law, and I know she reads this (Hi, Nena!), and she isn’t getting the gift until next week when we go back to Michigan. Maybe that will have to be next week’s Crafty Tuesday project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
