Working Under pressure

I have decided I am creatively challenged these days - I have recently been in a few swaps- I am not sure if I work better under pressure or if is I have to much stuff?  This is my card for the swap - we could only use three colors- every print paper I picked up and at least 4 , so it was back to basics for me -  I have never been much of a stamper, and have issues with straight lines hmm... maybe I should wear those glasses..

We have just signed up to do Relay for Life in Cullman on May 4th in honor of my husband Gary and Prostrate Cancer, it just amazes me there are so many support groups for women - buy hardly anything for men.

If you would like to join Team Wittlock with a small donation or light a luminary in memory of a family member please visit our page  http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?team_id=1378121&fr_id=51069&pg=team

Thanks for stopping in I am going to try to get more creative in the next few weeks with a class from Ten Seconds Studio online.

How to get your Mojo back?

Just wondering How do you get your Mojo back?
 I have been organizing forever -- I think this be the number 1 problem papercrafters have ?
 We think we need to have everything pretty and neat to start.
 We think we need everything tools, paper, and  more is better?

          I went to a local crop last Friday and did 6 pages Did I find MoJo?

So I have decided that maybe it is just not that important - I just need a clean desk and a pair of scissors and some glue or tape-after all I just make a mess!

So I have come up these thoughts on MOJO
1.  Keep your travel bag packed
2. Create some kits of your favorite supplies
3. Add just a few photos (otherwise you spend all the time trying to decide)
4. Add  friends to chat with
5. Find a small table that folds -- create a space in another spot --
I have a folding table in the bedroom where I watch tv and facebook -- I am starting to sort through all my photos and put them in books (not a scrapbook  but the Project life 6 photos to a page ) going to pull a few favorites to scrapbook.  I have realized I will NEVER scrapbook them all in my lifetime. So why not have them in a album to enjoy then in a box on the closet shelf?

I found  Mojo last week -  but it must have decided to leave when it looked at my mess-- so the friend called Purge came along and encouraged me GET STARTED!

Have a great week!
BTW  we are still seeing doctors Gary is better but needs a new MRI to rule out Bone Cancer - this Cancer stuff is so scary and like a BAD roller coaster ride!

I am back again, I have been downsizing my scrap room again... still selling in the group Scrappers Swap Shop on face book,
 I have put a big dent in all that paper!

 

Trying to follow the Scrap Rack Get Organized Challenge , the more I organize , the more I can get rid of finally, just keep telling myself it is a bedroom not a store.
I actually started 2 cards and a tag tonight, discovered my smooch is all dried up ... hmm.. over a year since I used it.
So it is 71 here at 2a.m and the weather radio has gone off, very windy and tornado warnings already, so guess I have the night shift.  I hate it when it storms at night.

So stay safe,
Kathy

Hello my friends!

I'm Back!
It has been awhile but maybe I can finally get back in the blogging world!
What have I been up to?

Well of course I am cleaning out my clutter this year! This was from my closet 6 big bags of over priced clothing, purses and shoes that I had NOT wore in at least 2 years.  DONATED

Next my paper closet... oh this is a Job for SUPER SCRAPPER... that would not be me this year!
 But I have gone through all my boxes and let go of half!
What am I doing with it?
 1. First I try to sell some,
2. I have been sending a RAK to someone almost everyday this year!
 3. I have a pile to sell at a scrappy yard sale in March for store Credit , (I'll need some new from CHA ) not really!
 I have started project 365 online this year so at least I am taking a daily photo and notes, I started on Jan.10th I never start anything on Jan.1  because...  
Next excitement was Snow in Alabama... 2 days of crazy -
 My daughter was stuck on the highway for 3.5 hours , then she backed up the emergency lane and drove up the exit ramp the wrong way, I guess it was ok she made it home safe 3 hours later, lots of people were trapped overnight. So lesson learned  full tank of gas, blanket and water, (she was ok Emma always has snacks, blankets and videos,) be prepared no matter where you live.

 Gary is getting better each day, hopefully he will be back to Normal soon? (I keep asking whats that) been a interesting time for sure, hoping for Good News when we go in March for follow-up tests for the Cancer.

So if you happen to be following me , leave a comment... I will be picking a random follower for next weeks scrapbook RAK!
Have a great week,
Kathy

12-12-12

Sharing from The Scrapbook Princess  
Tomorrow is 12/12/12. Even if tomorrow is "just another day", I encourage you to document it in photos and then make a scrapbook page using your favorite papers and embellishments! There will not be another triple day in our lifetimes--it would be fun to keep a record of it!!! =)


It has been awhile since I have been crafty or even blogged,
 Gary is finally better I think, this surgery for Prostrate Cancer was more than we expected.  He is feeling better and starting to become active , although I may be pushing it a bit, seems it may be so easy to just take pain pills  and wish the pain away , but that was not working. The past week we go out everyday ,  I have planned my shopping list around it, we go to the store  and get done in time to pick up granddaughter from preschool, everyday a little more. 
I know he is feeling better he loaded the dishwasher tonite! 

Hugs,
Kathy

 Happy 
Thanksgiving!

May you and yours have a happy and safe holiday weekend !

We are having a small day at home (we ordered Cracker Barrell dinner , just thankful for the past few weeks and hopefully moving past the worst of this surgery. Gary is recovering slowly with a few kinks along the way.
This year the older kids have plans , especially my oldest son - he is providing a FREE meal with his food truck  The Rolling Pig, to about 150 people in the Cleveland Ohio area,  it makes us proud to know that even though he is struggling to get his business going he knows the importance of giving back, my granddaughters are excited about helping!  

Thank you to all my friends that have called, messaged , in the past few weeks, I am Thankful to have great family and friends to help! 

Have a great day!
Kathy
