The Most Dreaded Day…

This is the most dreaded day of the year. The end of summer vacation and the start of a new school year. I do love my kids and what I do, but…. 🙂

I figured I should take some time to come by here and add a few updates. This first week back tends to be rather crazy.

I have a few new layouts for this week from some fabulous designers:

Now — Wonderful You and Hide & Seek by Amber Labau

Sweet Clarissa by River~Rose and January Foundations by Crystal Livesay

Travel-Adventure — Road Trip and August Template Storyteller Add-ons by Just Jaimee

I am also playing along with the Masters of Scrap Competition at Scrapaneers! I in no way expect to win, but I love things like this to challenge my creativity and help me to think outside the box. Here are the layouts that I have done so far:

I was so incredibly thrilled and honored to win 2nd place in the Minimalist Tournament with the last page here!! Two new events will start tomorrow and I’m excited to see what they will be!

And so, tomorrow I start back to work and I am also planning to dive in to Shaun T’s Focus T25 Workout for the next two months! I took my measurements this evening and I will weigh myself at work tomorrow. I’m not necessarily looking to lose weight, but I truly want to get in shape and up my fitness game. I hope that I will have time to post updates on that here as well. I need to take a before picture and I’m really not looking forward to doing that haha. But anyway, until next time… peace, out…
