I have several complaints about our new house, but I do love how it's HUGE compared to my old place. The water temperature in the shower fluctuates every time I blink, the floors are scuffed and stained and impossible to clean, and the walls are so thin that they look like they will fall over any minute...But the good news is: I have space to be creative! I have a huge table where I can spread out my artsy supplies. So now, I start most of my mornings with a open-faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich. the sounds of CNN in the background, and my scrappy supplies sprawled out in front of me. I love waking up every morning, alone with my thoughts, with the urge to create, and the stillness of my house. It's magical!
The layouts above are all works in progress. Most of them are done, minus the journaling. I'm trying so hard to use up my scrapbooking supplies. So I'm digging out old supplies, like buttons, ribbon, scalloped edges, labels galore, and old school papers, and I'm trying to make it work. I want to use them up so that the next time I move, I won't have to move as much as I did two weeks ago. Good plan, right? I rather move completed albums instead of boxes and tupperwares full of random scraps.
I'll post the finished pages in my Made In Taiwan album---->. It's Friday and Monday is another holiday. I have to be super productive because I leave for Vietnam on Tuesday and I have LOTS of job hunting to do before then.
You still got the mojo I admired way back when...I'm trying to use up oldest too, but when all the paper you own fits in a 12x12 folder, its time for a few more. Happy scrapping!!
