Welcome Friday!

I am happy that Friday is finally here. We have our grandson this weekend so that makes it extra special. We are taking him to the State Fair this weekend and riding the fair train. I am excited because I can already picture lots of scrapbooking layouts with the pictures that I will be taking. Do some shopping for special papers and embellies that are fair / amusement rides related. It's going to be great!
I am also taking a vacation day on Monday so I can recover - jk. Actually, I am going to try to get some neglected home repairs and closet cleaning done. I have a bedroom that has been turned into a storage room and it was not intentional. All the junk just seemed to gravitate to that room. Why is that? I am sure that everyone - not just me- has a junk drawer, bin, closet, ROOM in their house. Ok- maybe it is just me but I am going to work on it. If I can get the room cleared, I will be happy with just the drawer. Maybe...I tend to hang on to things that I think I might use later. Not a hoarder really - just having a hard time letting go of things of the past. I have bins of clothes for example. These bins range in four sizes. Now reality tells me that the smallest of those four sizes is a thing of the past and I need to let them go to someone who can still wear them. I just have a hard time with it. In my mind I am thinking I will get back there some day. I am not giving up on getting back there mind you. I am giving up on keeping all of those clothes though. I will keep a pair of jeans out for inspiration. The rest is going on to a charity. It's going to happen and I am going to feel so much better about it. Maybe once I get the junk cleared out I can start working on converting that space into my craft room. Now there is an inspiration. Once I get started - I will post before, during and after pictures.
Have a great weekend!

Let's Try This Again...

Here is the thing - I am the Queen of Unfinished Projects. I get all of these great ideas - some I even start - but I have a real problem with completion. I try to do too many things at once. I know before I even move on to something new that I am not going to finish it. If I do finish it, I am not happy with it because I hurried through it. I have finished two scrapbooks and I have nine more in the works. Some will not be finished for years just because of the type of scrapbook that they are. I am doing my niece and nephew's school years scrapbooks. My nephew just started kindergarten and my niece is in pre-school so it will quite awhile before they are finished. My grandson's first year scrapbook should already be completed but it's not even close. He is three years old now for goodness sake! I started this blog as a way to help me with my journaling and to remind of certain events. Well, I can't even keep this up! I go months between posts. I also wanted to post pictures of layouts on here so that family could check them out. I haven't done that yet either. Hmmph! I am making a promise to myself to be more diligent with this. I am going to post something - anything at least once a week. Let's see how this goes.
