Are you - like me - full of interests? I don't even read any more, because I have so many more things I want to do. My love is the computer & I would love to have more time to do digital scrapbooking, create web sites, write stories, maniuplate photographs, search for family on Ancestry.com, and on and on and on.
But I like to quilt and sew, embroider, and scrapbook hard copies.
Most days, I end up just sitting at the computer when I get home. This is even after I have been on it all day. Why - because I like too. I have so many sewing projects that I need to complete - not commissions, but personal.
I didn't know what I was going to do with all these projects - I mean one only has so many walls & we only have one bed. But at my certification class last week I found out I need samples - I need items for a trunk show. So sista - I gotta get sewing and embroidering. I keep giving away all my samples.
But I need to update my web site (done this morning), I am on a line of the family tree that intersts and puzzles me (I get lost when I do this, there is just so much info on line), I have that digital scrapbooking I need to work on, oh, and I need to create a new catchy background for my web site using some digital scrapbooking techniques, then there is the scrapbooks I am working on or want to work on.
So for a minute - let's talk about my scrapbooks. At the Hop this past week, each store gave us a page (you got a 6x6 album when you signed up). They also took our pix at most stores. Well that was done on Sunday. So cute! I will scan & show you at another time. (Oh no, something more to do.) Anyway, on the Hop I found these "What Happened" pages for all the years past. So I bought one for every member of our family and a book. The picture above is one of my pages. I think each person gets two pictures - one during their first year and then one now. That one is my first year. There is a page with a library pocket and some "events" from the birth year, and then another page with more events. There is also two pages where I write stuff about everybody and then one more blank spot where I could put some more pix or something else. Then there is a divider & on to the next person. I think it is going to be very cute & a nice memory. When I am done I may scan it and give one to each of my children.
OK, then there were such cute Easter papers (remember - I went to 15 scrapbook shops!) So I bought those, and a cute hot pink album with little chicks on it.
At Voilettes in Lakeland I bought a Pirate album kit. I am going to make an album to put a picture of us from each Gasparilla - Jeff usually dresses up, so I think it will be a cute memory & the album is so cute. I am going to take that to Whim-So-Doodle and make it during a crop night.
Then I bought PDQ Tropical Album Kit by www.bisous.biz because it is just so ME! Living in Florida I think I can fill that up - or else I will use it for our pix from our Costa Rica trip.
So, do I have enough to do? Are we all like this? And I forgot about all my favorite TV shows (do you love New Amsterdam or not - he is so cute). Who is your favorite Idol this year - Michael is cute & reminds me of Jim Morrison, but David the rocker is the best, but then again little David is an awesome singer.
OK better get to my day job...TTFN
PEACE - KB
oh oh oh - I forgot - I have an acrylic ablum to make too
