So, I am making some changes in my life! I recently decided to become a Pampered Chef consultant, as well as my other two paying jobs, the wife and homemaker thing, mom, grandmother, etc... I am probably out of my mind! But I have always loved their stuff and well, any extra $ would help! The basement project is still awaiting the new check from the insurance company. Our public adjuster is dealing with the insurance company's adjuster. We finally have a contractor waiting to start. He is also willing to finish my scrap room while they are doing the basement!! I am so anxious for it to be over!!!
Scrapbooking?? My bags are still packed from the crop I attended 2 weeks ago. I need to unpack everything then repack for a crop this Saturday. Nearly every waking moment at home has been consumed with finishing transcripts for Westville PD. And I still have a few to finish for East Greenwich. Hoping to put that money toward the scrap room project then after that finish saving for our Bahamas cruise in May! I cannot wait to get away again!!!
We recently celebrated Piper's first birthday!!!
Well, back to work... One more hour here then home to pack and type... Type and type
I cannot believe we are well into 2018 already. The year has started out well. January flew by in many ways. We have actually had decent luck this year [knocking on wood] so far. I won't get greedy and ask for more.
Anyway, I am scrapbooking so much more. Actually joined some Blog challenges through Facebook and watched some UTube tutorials. I feel that I am changing my style in a good way and loving my work more. I have some wonderful friends to thank for that. Most of them I met through my favorite online store and message board, www.acherryontop.com
In January, I joined a 30/30 challenge on A Cherry On Top where the requirement is to complete 30 layouts in 30 days. As of today I only finished 15. Fortunately we have until Feb. 5th so I am going to finish them!! I also joined a challenge of 30 days no spending! Adhesives do not count and we were allowed 1 cheat day. Well... When I bought the adhesive, I foun so many great paper pads, Thickers and stickers at AC Moore that were on sale AND that I actually could use with the projects I am working on. So, that was my cheat day. BUT they did not have the adhesives I needed. They only sell glues. And I really love the tape runners. SO I paced an order at A Cherry On Top. I cheated again, lol! But I am well stocked now!
No, my scrap room still is not done. Again I am at the point where I am searching for a handyman to finish the painting around the door and windows, finish putting up the trim. It is probably just a day's work.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite layouts that I finished recently
