That was me this for the last 2 days. Busy busy busy.
I got a lot of cleaning done this weekend. Finally got in our bedroom closet and cleaned and organized everything in it. You can actually walk inside the thing now without stepping on shit! Nicki even commented on it..she looked in and said "I didn't know your closet had carpeting!" She's such a brat. We don't ever listen to her.
Along with the closet, we cleaned the bedroom, the kitchen, the office and the laundry room. I paid all the bills....cried......balanced my checkbook.....and cried harder. Hung up a few things on the walls that I had lying around, worked on my car, completed a collage frame of my dogs, organized some pictures, did all the laundry and took a trip to Target. Didn't find
nothing good there except a nice candle holder for less then $5 (on
clearance) and a couple scrapping things. Went looking for John
Grisham and Stephen Kings new books but didn't see it. Maybe it doesn't come out until Tuesday? Watched "Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 3 (was pretty good), talked long distance to my girl in Oak Creek, WI, took a trip to
ACMoore (didn't find anything good except some dollar stamps) and since I was out in Cary I rode to
JoAnns. I really had no intention of getting anything but when I seen that all their Christmas scrapping stuff was 70% off I simply couldn't refuse. I need more scrapping stuff like I need a hole in the head but how can I resist? I picked up some 12x12
card stock and 2 other smaller sized
card stock stacks. Also got some Christmas chipboard
embellies and letters and found some more dollar
journal stamps that I couldn't find before when I was looking for them. Spent a bit over $65 but got a shit load of stuff for the money so I can't complain! Oh and guess what else I did..........
I scrapped. Yeah....do you believe it? I told myself that if I got all my work done this weekend I am going to treat myself and spend some time doing something fun and I actually did it! Can't believe I get so excited over having time to scrap. You think that now that all the kids are grown and gone.....well......except for that one......I would have all the time in the world to scrap but I don't. I don't know where the time goes but I don't think I'm getting the
required 24 hours in a day like everyone else gets. I think I'm getting
gypt. Anyway.......I finished 2 layouts tonight. One of them was a challenge that I was
assigned to do. Without looking, pick 6 pieces of patterned paper from your scraps and make a layout using them. This was a hard one for me to do. If you know me, you know that I need to have all my patterned paper perfectly matched. I'm just funny that way. I can't do it no other way so this really was a challenge for me. I picked my paper and tried my best and I'm proud to say that I did it and it actually doesn't look all that bad either. It's not the best mind you, but it got me out of my comfort zone and made me try something new. I actually had fun doing this and can't wait until the next one! I have one more challenge to finish and I will be all caught up! Such a good feeling!
I'm tired now and so I'm off to bed. I know this post was a drag but that's all your going to get for now.
Nightie night!
