May Scrap-A-Holic Challenge

Finally!  I finished my page for the DCWV May Scrap-A-Holic Challenge!  I really wanted to do the card as well, and maybe I’ll have time this weekend to do that.  I don’t know.  The weekend is pretty full.  Here’s the lineup:

Friday:  Pick up kids, bake something for the Village bake sale tomorrow (benefits the local historical society)

Saturday:  Village wide yard sales, put garden in, cemetery, work on 4H projects, possibly kayak

Sunday:  4H projects if we didn’t get them done on Saturday, dinner, bring kids home

I may be able to make the card while the kids do their projects, if I’m not helping too much.  Maybe it will distract me from hovering… lol!

I hope you like my attempt at this challenge!

Have a great weekend!

It's Been a While...

Gads!  It’s been awhile!  I feel like I’m always writing that.  It’s not like I haven’t done anything.  I’ve got pages and pages done for my 2015 scrapbook.  I’ve even had company in my studio – yes, that’s right, my boyfriend has been hanging out working on a project of his own.  I’ll post it once he finally gets it the way he wants it.



Here’s how it goes in my studio (a spare bedroom that allows me to craft when the kids are not around).  I explained to D last night before we went up to work.  There is no yelling or loud outbursts of frustration.  You can be frustrated, just not loudly.  He says to me that he’s never done that, and I tell him that I know, but if he does he has to go.  I say all this with a smile, but I do mean it.  He gets frustrated easily with this art stuff.



So I was planning on getting to the DCWV May Scrap-a-Holic Challenge started last night but I had an unfinished page on my bench so I finished that one instead.  Then tonight I was planning on working on the challenge, but we’ve been invited to brainstorm on a play we are supposed to be putting on next month and that absolutely needs to be done.  So now I have no idea when I’m going to fit this in because I want to play!  I had a vision for my page!




Maybe tonight if we get back from dinner at a decent time.  We’ll see… In the meantime, I’m dreaming of my pages.
