So spank me if you will. Apart from being SUPER busy with non-scrap related stuff I've barely had time to sit in front of the puter let alone let the mojo run free in my scrap room but there does appear to be a life besides scrapbooking.
I do believe it's not healthy for me to put all of my eggs into the scrapbooking basket and I can only speak for myself because I just find that when I am scrapping for weeks on end, I end up feeling depleted of conversational skills and mojo. AND besides the fact that I become incredibly boring and make those around me YAWN, my house looks like a bomb has hit it and there are strange flies appearing out of nowhere... That's around the time my alter ego the SUPER HOUSEKEEPER dons her rubber gloves and gets to scrubbing grout and tiles and fumigating the place. I don't do windows. Would I appear lazy if I employed someone to do my windows? ONLY IF I GOT CAUGHT!!!!! HAAAAH!
I needs me a tradie...
SO! In a nutshell... all work and no play makes me incredibly boring... so I've been kinda, well... playing. A bit. Sort of but not really.
I think I might have some layouts to share... Classes have been and gone so I might just share them... If only I could think of what I've been doing. That's one of the hazards of being in your forties...
I'm not sure I like this. It looks like a freestyle sneeze. It was a Product Pick class.
Let this post not lead you to think that this is all the scrapping I have done of late. I have more to show but can't just yet.
Be cool.
your layouts are totally awesome xx

Oh I am so cool. Not really. But since this is the internet and no one can see me (and hear, "Mom. You are such a dork," from my son), I can write that.
May I ask what schmutz is?
I love your Freestyle Sneeze! You always have such awesome details.

Well I'm glad you've checked back in because you WERE boring me a little bit lately...only because you weren't around! Haaaaaa I've missed you somethin' awful.
Love the layouts, of course. Your freestyle sneeze doesn't look sneezy to me! It looks like there was thought involved.
Gotta go haul cattle. Love ya.

Love the Schmutz lo. Peyton looks so graceful. I wish I could sneeze like you :) Particulary love the scalloped corner with the ribbon weaved throughout it. Nice.

Well gee I'm glad it means glamour in ballet cause I thought you were being a really mean mom! It is a beatiful page! I love that scallop piece with the ribbon threaded in it!

Great layouts. I just wrote almost the same thing as Katherine and then I read her comment, although my comment had to do with snot. ;)
Still waiting for a video. :)
