Time goes on..

Sometimes with us sometimes without us.

Had an amazing day teaching 10 wonderful ladies who I am sure at some point during the day, whether it was in the begining or in the middle questioned why the heck they paid for some crazy girl to tell them to dump out all their scrapbooking supplies; categorize them; purge; assign and containerize.

I taught yesterday in Andover at my favorite store Scrap Funattic and it was a great day to stay inside and organize no doubt. I know we all become so overwhelmed by daily life and I myself struggle sometimes too with the fact that I teach organization but some days in my house it doesnt seem that way.

TO DO lists are my life! We discussed yesterday about a "Fancy Special" my new favorite word from Mrs.Judy Kruse that we had sections. One for PICTURES TO BE PRINTED and one for "LAYOUTS TO DO" that way we are never confused about what is going on in the world of Scrapbooking. Why stay organized in that world? Because we scrapbook to enjoy and have fun not to be stressed; and just like our house we have to have a little jump start or a discipline or a sketch to begin.

For me being able to check mark off something gives me the sense of accomplishment and when I feel like I didnt have a productive day I can just go to this list and see that even if it was one or two things it was completed and that is ok.

Ladies remember you are your own judge; your scrapbooks are the way you like and noone can judge you on your pages except yourself. If you like it that is ALL THAT MATTERS.

Please have a wonderful day and week. In 9 days I will be 34 so I am sure there will be some birthday fun to share.

XOXO

Oh the places I have been

Well 1st I must share this lovely video of myself doing my version of Baby Got Back Alicia Got Back. Just click that linky and you will be entertained and either be really glad to know me or disown me what ever you wish.
As you can see from the lovely video Crop A Ganza was a blast and a much needed get away for so many of us.

I began my Monday with lots of work and lack of sleep. Going to work at 6am Tuesday to get blood draws done before an 8am meeting then training today OMG 4 hours and 6 cups of coffee got me thru it. Then Training from 8-10am tomorrow then dental, then dental all day Friday. Then Carlee will be getting Bieber fever at the movies while I third wheel it with Dave and Shandra for a movie while our girls scream over the Beiber.

I thought sleep catch up would be Saturday but OH SO WRONG was I there will be a 10am softball practice in Ark City for Carlee. Shandra and I will be doing a little looking in Ark City but I cannot delve that lets just say there could be a change coming in the Crop Camp front. And it isnt the type that comes with 8 inches of flipping snow!!

Tshirts for Spring Crop Camp should be found here http://www.cropcamp.com/ soon! Be watching

XOXOXO
