Time

Has it really been over two years since I've posted anything?

Time.  Where does it go?  Lost time is never found.  I find that to be so true.  We just can't make up the things we miss without missing something else.  How do you fit more time into your day?  I need more time.  When is the time for fun?    Every day it seems to be the same question; Where does the time go?  How does it pass so quickly?  If only we did not have to sleep, then I could do the fun things I enjoy.  Although, if my employer knew that we didn't need to sleep, I'm sure even more tasks would make it to the pile, negating the purpose of no sleep.     ...long sigh...

So, even though I have not posted for over 2 years that does not mean I haven't done anything fun.  There are certain things and events that REQUIRE crafting  :)  YAY!  I've taken pictures of some, but not all.  And certainly not most.  Only when I remember that I once this this a lot and posted what I did, do I remember to take a picture that never makes it off my camera onto a blog.

I'm determined that this will be the summer of fun.  I've already planned a trip to Branson.  It looks jam packed with touristy fun things to do .

I'm determined to get some pictures scrapbooked (something I've not done in over 2 years).  I've made a couple pages, nut have not finished them off with pictures because when I made them, I did not have the pictures printed (and still don't-bad me!).

Sorry the pics are a mess...  I decided getting them on was more important than making sure they are the correct orientation.  So this is some of what I've been doing:











































So... that's about it.  There have been many more birthday cards, shower cards, Mother's Day, Father's Day and such, but I did not take pictures.  I also made several retirement scrapbooks, that I also neglected to take pictures of.  Again, bad me!

Hopefully my next post won't be in 2 years!

Way behind on the Christmas cards!

Here are a couple of the cards I've made so far this year.  I'm soooo far behind!  With my job at school being a TREMENDOUS load this year, I barely have time to make dinner.  I literally come home from school around 5 or 6, make dinner and head right back to the computer to work.  Weekends are an extension of the work week, but with no kids.  I feel like I will never get caught up.  I'd like to say Christmas break will be relaxing, but I'll have to use it to prepare for the deluge of meetings in January.  I am, however, looking forward to March which is usually my least favorite month.

I can make it, I can make it, I can make it.....

All three of these ideas came from somewhere on pinterest, but I didn't save the creator's name.  BAD ME!! I copied them pretty darn closely.  My photography skills are poor, and the lighting is even worse, but anyway here's my work so far:

cards

A small set I made last winter.  Just came across the pic that I never posted...

a couple cards

I'm heading out to do some scrapping today for the first time since last summer!  YAY!  I'm really hoping to "power scrap" since I have a whole year to make up for.

But, in the meantime, here are a few cards I made in the past weeks. (sorry about the colors; my lighting is whacked and I didn't do a good job of editing that!)




Here a re a few more from before that.






Hopefully I'll be back later this week with some scrapbook pages!

New catalog!

I found this image of the catalog on the pretty inky blog.  I can't wait until I have it in my hands! The digital version is just not the same.  So many cute new things, and a new layout as well.  I'm lovin' it.
