Snow, snow, snow…and some scrapping

So, yeah, we’re snowed in. I guess you’d have to live under a rock not to know about Winter Storm Jonas on the east coast. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it, but I really hate snow. Sure, I love a day off as much as the next guy/girl, but when I can’t get out of my house, I am not a happy camper. It’s not that I really have anywhere in particular to go, I just like to be able to go if I need to. I haven’t measured how much we have, I don’t care, it’s too much. And we’ll have to spend at least one whole day off shoveling. What kind of fun is that??

Anyway, nothing I can do about that. We’re stuck. The snow days have at least helped me keep up with scrapping and with MOC at The Lilypad. I really love it. I don’t think I have shared any of those pages just yet, so I may wait until the end and just share them all in one post 🙂 But I did also get to play with some awesome new goodies this week and I have added them to my Scrap Pages gallery.

Planner Update

I am really having a wonderful time updating and decorating my planner.

I added little journal cards for each week to be able to have more space to write down memories since my planner seems to be working best for tracking CT work and blog planning.

I also added a small pocket to each week for stashing photos for the week or little momentos.

And finally, I created an insert between January and February using more goodies by Amy Wolff. The back side is lined for writing down any memories or thoughts.

Thanks for looking. I’m still really new at all this and looking for a style all my own, but looking forward to seeing how it evolves as the year goes by. Peace, out…

Gahhhh!

Ok, so this was not supposed to be the title of this blog post, but that’s pretty much what I’m feeling right now. I thought I would come here and get caught up on everything really quick, but my computer or this site or something is not cooperating with me and everything is taking about 10x longer than it should!

I have this huge plan of being better about coming here and so far I have not done well with that at all, despite writing it in my planner haha. But now I am frustrated and out of patience so without much other wording, let me just get up to speed with sharing layouts from the amazing talented ladies that I work for!

Have a great Saturday night. Peace, out…

Planning the New Year

Well, the day has come…back to work tomorrow and I’m not sure I’m ready for it, mentally anyway. My goal for the last several years has to be better organized, and I think I’ve done fairly well at it every year, but not where I’d like to be. So, this year, I decided to purchase a planner and really get down to business. Another thing that is helping me along is all the great planner accessories out there in digi-land. There are so many pretties!! I am going to do my best to share my planner progress here and have created a page for it – Planner Pages 2016. I’m really enjoying dressing it up and keeping track of things already.

I am using a Heidi Swapp Memory Planner and it is the perfect size for me. Everything I have used so far to decorate it comes from Just Jaimee’s Story Planner 2016 January Kit and her Welcome Bag. Make sure you check out all the great deals you can get by subscribing and becoming a VIP!

This is a dashboard that I printed for the very front of the planner. In the pocket to the side are the stickers that I have printed and cut to be used throughout the month.
