Chaos!!!

OK so I don't  have any pictures to show you this time around but I thought that I would clean up my scrapbooking room so that I can get my motivation back so that I can finish unfinished projects and start on new ones. As I was coming to a close on finishing up on the clean I drop my jewelry making stuff and little beads scatter everywhere!!! I start to throw a tantrum and my wonderful husband comes to the rescue and tells me to take a break and walk away. So I walk away and he cleans it up for me.

My scrapbooking room has been a complete and utter mess for a while now. I was working very hard on it and I think I was concentrating to hard on it and that's when disaster struck for me. I am now going to take the rest of the night off and work on something else or even relax and read a book.

After I get my room fully done and reorganized and cleaned then I am going to start some kinda of Advent calendar for my kids this year. I think it will be a fun thing for them. I have never done it before. I am really getting into the holiday season this year because we put up the Christmas tree last night with the kids. That was a lot of fun but we realized that we lost a box of Christmas decorations and it had the lights to the tree in it. So we now have a tree with no lights but like I said on my Facebook status it still looks good because the kids helped.

This is how I feel with my scrapbooking room at this point.
I know that I will get through the last hurtle with my scrapbooking room. I just need to step back for today and finish tomorrow. Yes, I hate leaving things half done because I am afraid that I will not finish them but at this point I have no choice.

But I think I am done with the post for today and I am going to play around with blogger some because I think I just figured something out (setting a schedule for post to publish). I really haven't played around with it to much so now is a good time as any.


Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Mojo Lost, If Found Please Return.

I am in the process of finding my mojo to get started on Christmas gifts. With Thanksgiving just 3 days away it has motivated me to find my mojo.

I have started on Kathy Ortas December Daily as that is another thing I would like to do. Follow the link HERE to watch her Youtube Mini Series on how to create her December Daily Album.  I have so many things that I want to start doing but my mojo has up and left me.

Another thing that I have been looking into starting is Project Life. That I would like to start at the being of next year and follow through with it for life. I think it would be a fun way to document things that happen in my families lives on a everyday basis. I know its a lot to keep up with but if I can put aside time to work on it I can do it.

Here I am talking about starting new things when I have so many unfinished projects going on as it is. I have at least 4 mini albums that are half finished and layouts upon layouts that need to be finished and pictures put on them. I have SMASH books that I need to put all of my memorabilia in them and "smash them". Needless to say I have more ideas of different type of SMASH books I would like to do.

As I write and put it all out there I think I feel the creative spark coming back!!!

I am also trying to clean up my scrapbooking room and I think that is a big part as to why I cant get motivated to create something. I look at my room enter it for a moment and walk right back out. So I think if I finish cleaning it up that will also inspire me to create something as well.

I have a few mini albums that I do have finished that I will be making videos on soon but maybe not until after the holidays.

Well now that I have rambled on I am going to stop this post here. Thanks for stopping by!!!

Surpirse, I'm behind!

I have been busy watching my baby niece and she is a handful and requires lots of attention. I love her lots though. I have been busy re-organizing my scrapbooking room because my mother-in-law down sized her room and gave me lots of things. Thank you very much for everything.

I have been doing a lot of the scrapbooking layout kits that she gave me (she was in a club). I have now finished them and plan on moving on to using all the wonderful embellishments that she has given me and making layouts and mini albums. I have so many ideas and things I want to do but I am still looking for a job and I have dedicated the time I have while I am not watching my niece and the kids are at school to look for one.

As far as Youtube videos I did put up 2 new ones a few weeks ago (Click Here to View). It will be awhile til I get new ones up because of all the things I have on my plate right now. If all things go right I am going to try and do videos on the weekends if I get a job, the only thing is that they will be a little nosier because the kids will be home. I will also try and do better about keeping up with my blog. I know I have said this in the past but if I want followers and to keep the followers I have I need to keep it updated.

Now time for a picture share!!

My daughter had no school on Friday due to Parent Teacher  Conferences. I decided that we have a mommy and daughter day and do our nails. Well I got the bright idea to do something for Halloween. Well I didn't have any Halloween colors, so we went to Dollar General and bought at least 8 new colors.

She didn't want her nails painted in a Halloween Fashion so I painted them as her school mascot (which is Aztec Tigers). I am very happy the way they came out and so is she.

Without further ado here are her nails.


 I thought is would be fun to do my nails in a Halloween fashion. They are not the greatest but its not bad for a first try.

If you cannot tell from the picture my pinky in suppose to resemble Frankenstein, my ring finger is suppose to resemble a witch , my other finger is a pumpkin, my pointer finger is a ghost and my thumb is suppose to resemble candy corn.

Hope everyone has a great day and Thanks for stopping by!!

Trying to catch up!

I have been really busy trying to get my life and family more organized. I have also been watching my niece so posting to the blog and making Youtube videos have been a little challenging considering she is only 4 months old today!

I have been working on a lot of layouts and trying to get pictures scrapped up to at least 2009. I ordered 2 sets of prints, I already have one set I ordered and the next set should be in today and they are from 2010. I am not saying that I ever will be up-to-date on my scrapbooks but I can at least try. I am thinking of doing a video of a start to finish on a layout process. I think I need to change things up from just mini albums to layouts and maybe even some cards in the future.

As far as me getting a job I am still looking. I have put my resume in everywhere and I have not heard anything from anyone.

So I thought I would check in and let ya know what is happening. Watch for videos coming soon.


Have a great day!!!
