A little me time
I went down to Carlsbad over the weekend for a girls scrapping weekend with Lisa. She was going down to her BF's house and they do a scrapping weekend 2 or 3 times a year and was kind enough to include me. There were 5 of us there for the whole weekend and they had all started before I even got there. Lisa went down on Thursday but I couldn't so I took the train on Friday. I hadn't been on a train like that in about 12 years. After the last 7 weeks of work, G being out of town, etc. I was most excited to have 3 whole hours of quiet time. I listened to my ipod, caught up on my Heidi Swapp (who just gave birth to her 5th kid, 2nd within a year) BPS reading (I'm only about 3 months behind) and started the latest book for my book club. It was nice, quiet time. And riding the train was fun. Very comfortable, smooth, perfectly on time. Can't get that with the any airline I know.Anyway, got to the house around 10PM. Unloaded my considerable amount of crap from Lisa's car and got right to scrapping. It had been more than 2 months since I had scrapped anything more than a card so I did two kits that I had bought at Paper Source. I needed something mindless and something that chewed my food for me. One was an accordian album and the other was a paper flower wreath. They both turned out nice. Need to put photos in the accordian album but that shouldn't be hard. Saturday and Sunday I ended up doing 15 pages. I would've liked to have done more but when I got home and looked at them again, I was pleased with how they all turned out. I have to scan a few of them and I'll post them in the next day or two. I now have a HUGE pile of LO's to put away in albums. I should be doing that while I watch TV but that would be too easy. I'm still a little behind on my LO goal totals so I've got to figure out how to catch up a little bit. I've also finished up all but two of my pre-planned pages so I need to start working on pulling more. I've got some scrap time coming up in the next few months so hopefully I'll catch up a little bit.
I'm doing a moonlighter on Friday and I'll start to work on an album for a friend. I would like to make a dent in creating that and it would also keep the schlepping of supplies somewhat under control.
Oh good grief. On the Big Brother internet feeds, Carol is teaching Kail a cheer from the University of Kansas. Boy, they're bored already.
