Motivation Monday .... I printed 2018

I printed 2018 last week... it was not that of a great year!
but I did 2-4 pages each month and a few notes. I use messages, texts, and screen shots in some of my pages that the kids send me.
 Its hard when half of your family is far away and you only see each other a few time a year!
I took  Project Life App class a few years ago and was hooked on creating a yearly book!
I still do some traditional scrap booking and mini books.
I hope I can motivate you to get your photos off your phone this year!

The kids will flip through them and it makes it worth it!
So print your pictures with whatever method your doing and save you favorite pictures and tell your stories!

2018 Project Life APP Scrapbook

So I need to finish my Valentines today and get them in the mail!

Have a great day!

Hello February

Yay! we made it through January, the longest , coldest month ever! So now on to the month of new goals for me...

1. Get my room cleaned up and donate a bunch of stuff for a Crop next month
2. Get out and start walking
3. More water
4. Create more

Baby steps ... I find a few small things each time are easier than broken plans!

 

 

Of Course February is the month of Love!
Starting out with our new Love Blossoms promotion Card kit!

to blog or not...

Do you ever wonder if anyone is reading your blog?

 

it seems every time I decide I am going to get it together something or (someone) happens ...

its like the Blahs of January hit this week ,

 seriously January 21 is the day that most people feel like  BLAH....  and from my understanding the weather is awful everywhere, the diet we started is like I need Donuts!  

Why must we deal with Mean girls? ( yes they really exist - especially in the craft world)  it makes me want to say  to heck with them , which typically reminds me of my life as a high school er , 

I went to vocational high school as the first girls allowed in school there, so mainly my friends were boys.. it was something like 478-78 ratio of boys to girls....

  and believe me we had the Girls there too!

But in the crafting world there is plenty too go around -- like the more you do the more you'll find?

I am still cleaning my room ... it never ends .... 

Marie Konmari don't stop here because you will never understand how attached I am to my stuff.... does it bring me Joy? 

 Yes 

something about it does, is that I saved it all planning to use it , is it my retirement account, is that I can just hide away from people?    

   

SO Yes I am still planning my classes,

 I am still a consultant, if you need me you know where to find me this January... 

check out our great specials @

Leave me a comment if you read this who knows what I have up my sleeve besides glitter ?

I used to post  frequently but wonder our we still blogging?

Have a great day and try to enjoy the sunshine!

The Important Things!

The Important things...
    What are they this week?
     Back to school? Band? Family Occasions?
     They are all important... but so are just day to day activities... waiting on the bus, a quick trip to      the library, the favorite art project from school!

This is a perfect album to take with you and keep up with the little things , weekly, monthly, just school days!

Christmas in July

Its been busy hot summer week....
I am ready for fall!  I have been working on plans for classes all week.
I am trying to stay off my foot, that is hard after moving my craftroom upstairs a few years ago,
so lately I go up and shop and use the table in kitchen .
 No one has cooked in months except using the gas grill anyway!
I think we should look for a one -level house or move somewhere with no maintenance, warm and sunny? Who knew getting old was this hard?
Its Christmas in July! Set your alarm for some Early Bird shopping!
    Christmas in July Flash Sale!
Get ready for a Christmas in July flash sale coming up this weekend featuring retired holiday products available at discounted prices up to 50% off! The sale will begin at 3:00 pm (MDT) on Friday, July 20, and end at 3:00 pm (MDT) on Saturday, July 21!
