I have been MIA (Missing In Action) in my Craft Room.

Well the start of the School Year for me has been CRAZY!
When I thought that I would have the chance to get to craft more....It has been the totally opposite for everything!!!!

On the POSITIVE side:
*  The weather has been beautiful for Newfoundland.
*  My daughter is in two dance classes and continuing with her guitar lessons.
*  There is more time for my son with me. Plus, added Playgroup meeting times.
*  Full days of school - I got a 1st Grader now!
*  I got a visit from my Aunt for two-weeks!
*  Yoga classes that fit our schedule and I can attend regularly!

So the craziness of the start of school, I guess is something we all go through...
*  1st grade is a big adjustment from half-day Kindergarten


SO, my to-do list is piling up.....

• I would have had my house decorated already for Fall - still not done (still have my Red, White & Blue up)
• Camper would be almost winterized - we pulled her back from camping and parked her in the yard. I emptied out the fridge/freezer, dirty clothes and that's about it! 
• My son's birthday just past and it was like a whirl-wind since all the extra activities started the same week.
• I haven't got in my Craft Room often enough!!!
• Recipes to try or plan have not been done!
• My bag for my Scrapbooking Retreat is totally empty - I would have started planning and putting my papers/pictures together.
• Dust is building up again!
• I have posted on my blog lately! - Usually try to at least once a week!
• I haven't got in my Craft Room other than making a card or two!

So, I feel that a bit has calm down...
BUT that means the pressure is on and it is time to get busy!!!
I am lucky that the rain has finally arrived and it has been back to the norm weather for Newfoundland.
FALL is now officially here...weather wise and even on the calendar!

Now, to my Newfie Scrappy friends...

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I need some scrap time! We had a trailer back into the driveway last Friday. I have been busy packing up what I can with 2 very active children running around. Of course, how it always goes for us. The second there is something planned, my husband gets overtime, doubles and/or Saturdays! Grateful for it, but it seems to always happen this way!

Just wanted to post something and hoping that I will be able to post some of my work soon!

Day 3 - Back to Reality

Today was the first day back to reality from Christmas Break. I had my neighbor's daughter in the morning and we were signed up for a playdate. I debated a few times to stay home and be a bum. But I didn't so glad I went. Becky had some issues with sharing, which is not unexpected. She has been having a hard time lately, so the playdate was good. Even with girls around her she was still talking to her imaginary friend, Stephanie. At least, it was only a few times I caught her doing it.

So, I created this blog to be about my scrapping. But so far I have been in a funk. Today there was just not time with the schedule we are on. There are a number of things as always there are that have stopped my creative side to stay on a roll. I am looking forward to an upcoming crop on the 15th. I hope the numbers go up or they might not have it. I usually feel refreshed after a full day of scrapping and I usually get back on a roll.

There are a few layouts that I am working on. I haven't tried yet, but need to post some pictures of the things that I am working on. Well, I need to rally the troops and go pick up my neighbor's daughter from school and than it's dinner and depending on my husband's mood. Maybe I will get to some creative stuff.

So Here Goes, I Made Myself A Blog

So after seeing so many fellow scrapbookers/papercrafters with Blogs. I decided I should make one and see what happens. I have a hard time maintaining a journal so we will see what happens.... I love seeing what everyone is up to as far as crafting. It is nice to get recognized and comments on your work, which I do comment on others work. So why not make a place that I can try and challenge myself to post hopefully once a week.
