Where does the time go????

I don't know about you, but I thought when my children got older,
I would have more time to myself.  But nooooo, there is still all the
housework, laundry, etc...to do that no one else seems to have time for. 
That is why I scrap at night. Everyone else has gone to bed.  No
one else is up.  So no one interrupts what I'm doing. 
I love going downstairs to my room after I have the kitchen clean. 
The only problem with that is that I don't run very well on a small amount of sleep. 
It catches up with me at some point. 
But I am learning to deal with it.  I got to have some daily scrappin time.
 Tonight I am going to see how far I can get on the "Mother's Day" project.
 I plan on finishing the pages so I can
start puttin on the pictures and embellishments by Friday. 
The challenge is sticking to the plan.
Good Luck to me and all the other crafters working on projects for "Mother's Day!"

All I can think about is my "Mother's Day" project

I am so sorry I couldn’t post last night.  My boys

had lots of computer work to do.  It was one of

those nights where we weren’t empty nesters.  It

was crazy here.  My oldest son also has a friend who is

staying with us for a few days.  He didn’t have any

place to go.  This is another one of those moments

in life where I feel blessed.  I am sure it would be

a great topic open up for discussion.  But even

though I don’t always agree with my boys on things,

I just don’t think I could just put them out on the street

until they are ready to be independent.  (I don't think

they will be reading this).

Back to my topic and focus….

I can’t wait to finish this “Mother’s Day” mini book.

I never thought I would want to do a mini book.  But

I got the mini book bug.  I help out at EMI Scrapbooking

Store in Cumming, Georgia.  EMI stands for:  Every

Moments Important.  It is the cutest store.   She has tons

of the latest paper with embellishments and ribbon.  EMI also has

the most adorable mini books and the owner, Susan Moore,

sells these kits in the store or online. So I definitely got the

mini book bug. 

For my “Mother’s Day” mini book I started by designing my

book layout on graph paper.  Then I picked out some pretty

paper, designed the shape of my book, picked out the pictures

I want to use, picked out some “Ribbon” and embellishments

I thought might go with everything, then I found some cute

quotes about mother’s and grandmothers and wrote some

personal thoughts and I am off and running.  I can’t wait to

share it…
